Full textAbstract:
Both the consumer’s corporate social responsibility association and enterprise production capacity association are beneficial to business sustainable development. Based on Chinese traditional culture and from the perspective of Stereotype Content Model, this paper explores the relationship between two types of entrepreneur-related Word-of-mouth (WOM) and the two afore-mentioned types of consumer’s associations. On the one hand, the results show that the entrepreneur-related WOM labeled as “making yourself a person”, which emphasizes the personal qualities of the entrepreneur, may prompt consumers to form corporate social responsibility associations. On the other hand, the entrepreneur-related WOM labeled as “managing your own affairs”, which emphasizes the ability of the entrepreneur, may cause consumers to form associations regarding the enterprise’s production capacity. The mechanism underlying these effects is that the former type of entrepreneur-related WOM stimulates the consumer’s perception of the entrepreneur’s warmth, while the latter stimulates the consumer’s perception of the entrepreneur’s competence.

Abstract This paper portrays the contribution of Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966) to business ethics and social responsibility of entrepreneurs. First, Röpke’s critique of liberalism and his concept of social market economy are emphasized. Afterward, we analyze the normative foundations of Röpke’s concept of the entrepreneur. He called for the moral responsibility of business actors and perceived it as “moral capital.” Moreover, we discuss the relevance of Röpke in the contemporary context of international business practice. Finally, the role of entrepreneurial morality for the emergence of institutional frameworks for international business is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that determine two forms of crowdfunding campaign success: success in securing the necessary financial resources and personal success in terms of the entrepreneur’s satisfaction. Specifically, it studies factors linked to the relationship between entrepreneurs and funders (co-creation and feedback) and factors linked to the campaign’s content (dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR)). Design/methodology/approach An empirical study of 52 crowdfunding entrepreneurs was conducted. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was performed. Findings For financial and personal success, all factors, except the social dimension of CSR, are necessary conditions. Two configurations are sufficient for entrepreneurs to achieve financial success. The first configuration that is sufficient for personal success is the same as the first configuration for financial success. The second configuration for personal success is similar to the second configuration for financial success, except that it also includes financial success itself. Research limitations/implications Entrepreneurs should invest in CSR and seek to improve the quality of their relationships with their funders. Crowdfunding platforms should design and manage co-creation and feedback tools that are capable of providing deep knowledge of users’ opinions and concerns whilst generating value. The limitations of this study are that only the reward-based crowdfunding model was considered, and the data covered just two platforms. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by presenting empirical analysis of the factors that influence financial success and personal success in reward-based crowdfunding. It examines aspects that strictly refer to the content of the project and aspects that refer to the entrepreneur–funder relationship. Specifically, the roles of the four dimensions of CSR were considered. Moreover, the fsQCA method provides a fresh approach to research in this area.

Given the importance of entrepreneurial activities as an engine of economic growth and poverty alleviation, the issue of business development and entrepreneurial activities, has received increasing attention from a number of interested parties worldwide and also in the Czech Republic. The focus of this paper is on a social economy, a social responsibility and social enterprises. The development of the social economy framework will be introduced in the European context and specifically in the Czech Republic. A case study of a Czech social entrepreneur will be introduced based on qualitative research, namely the biographical narrative method.Social enterprises can support activities of various target groups, such as economic activities of mentally and physically handicapped people, which often operate in economically and socially marginalized situations, including stereotyped images. They give them a chance to become active members of society. In this way they can help to reduce the poverty on a local level. The aim of this paper is to introduce a social entrepreneurship as important part of social economy development in the Czech Republic.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the topics related to the personal and social characteristics of a group of female entrepreneurs from several towns in Serbia, their motives and main reasons for entering the entrepreneur activities in the unstable social conditions, prerequisites to start one's own business, opinions about personal characteristics significant for the success in business activities, problems and social circumstances which impede the individual entrepreneur activity of women, satisfaction with their business activities, ways to harmonize family and business obligations. 183 As a whole, the results of this qualitative study indicate that the female entrepreneurs in Serbia are well educated, that they belong to different professional groups, that they have significant previous work experience that their social background stretches along the entire scale of social stratification, that they are rather equally divided into married and divorced, as a rule with children. They developed their own businesses within the range of typical female fields - retail trade and usual services, with the tendency to enter the area of intellectual services. It was established that there are specific problems and limitations for the entrepreneur activities of women in the unstable work conditions and in still rather patriarchally organized environment in our country. These problems also imply the lack of suitable credits and stimulative programmes for this type of business activities of women, skepticism of the environment toward women in business, double work of women (job, as well as family and children), lack of self-confidence. Envisaged personal characteristics necessary for the success in business include: work and diligence, professional knowledge and readiness for permanent education, persistence and perseverance responsibility and punctuality, communication skills, which are all characteristics quite realistically depicting the demands for the participants in business activities in market economy. As advantages of women over men in running a business, the interviewed female entrepreneurs pointed out: responsibility, persistence, consistency, realism, seriousness diligence and efficiency. It was established that there was a significant satisfaction with their own business activities through which their initial tendencies and motives were mainly realized. Family obligations make a circle which still stifles female entrepreneurs in business activities, which is one of the differentiating characteristics ("differences") in private business in comparison with men.

Full textAbstract:
Starting form a profound commitment to social responsibility, first of all, I illustrate the first draft of a theory of self-evolution of a Human System. The main resource, used by the actor (entrepreneur) who starts the self-evolution process of a human system, is his (or her) cognitive system. The scope of entrepreneur’s cognitive system conditions the scope of the human system. The self-evolution process is a process of “impoverishment” of the cognitive system. The case of the enterprise is emblematic. I called the process of impoverishment of an enterprise: Value Life Cycle. To overcome this impoverishment (that is to govern a human system) it is necessary to improve the cognitive system of the entrepreneur. I illustrate two ways to improve the cognitive system of an entrepreneur. At the end I will try to generalize the discourse about enterprises to all kinds of human systems.

Full textAbstract:
Entrepreneurs and everyday businessmen and women have long engaged in different kinds of civic-minded activities. This study explores ways that urban entrepreneurs and managers engage in civic activities while pursuing business growth. In this preliminary analysis of owners and managers who have participated in a technical assistance program geared for entrepreneurs who are ready to take their existing venture "to the next level", we identify a kind of entrepreneur whose business model incorporates a social mission. These are not "social entrepreneurs" who engage in business practices in order to push their social agenda. Nor are they mimicking businesses that follow a "corporate social responsibility" model because they were shamed into it or believe it will be good for their bottom line. These are people whose ventures must make a profit if their social mission is to be achieved. They run what we call a "civic enterprise". Their behavior reflects a kind of "civic-minded capitalism".

Full textAbstract:
Purpose From the perspective of role identity theory, the purpose of this paper is to explain how an artistic creative entrepreneur has set up and operates a business that incorporates a component of social responsibility into the business model. Design/methodology/approach An explanatory case study approach was followed in analysing the case of Alenka Repic, the founder and creative director of the company Kaaita, which operates from Slovenia. Data were collected through documentation and interviews and content analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings Kaaita has adopted an innovative and socially responsible business model as an artistic creative enterprise. The case study firstly introduces Kaaita and its innovative business model. Thereafter, it describes and discusses the defining roles of Alenka Repic as an entrepreneur and how these roles have shaped what Kaaita does and how it operates. Research limitations/implications This explanatory case study has presented the unique case of an artistic creative social entrepreneur, and the innovative business model that has been adopted. However, because only one case has been presented here, it is recommended that additional case studies be conducted. It is also recommended that additional research be conducted in the area of sustainable business model innovation. Practical implications The case illustrates how a more deliberate consideration of their role identity could assist entrepreneurs in aligning their personal values and beliefs with how they create, operate and develop their enterprise. It also serves as a reminder to both scholars and aspiring entrepreneurs that the essence of entrepreneurship is to have the passion and courage to be innovative and disruptive and that educators should focus on cultivating skills that are related to identifying and exploiting opportunities for innovative disruption. Originality/value The study draws on role identity theory to gain insight into the roles that are exercised in developing an innovative business model that combines diverse types of entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>O presente trabalho estuda a atuação social dos empresários, comumente
denominada de responsabilidade social empresarial - RSE -, a partir do
pressuposto de que esta intervenção social, antes de ser uma novidade na atuação
dos empresários, conta com uma longa trajetória que remonta aos primórdios do
desenvolvimento industrial no país. Nesta trajetória, foram estruturados diferentes
modelos de intervenção que aqui são identificados como controle, incorporação
e gerenciamento do social. Cada um deles expressa tanto o enfrentamento da
relação capital x trabalho como a busca de legitimação do processo de
acumulação, ao nível interno de sua força produtiva, como externamente
envolvendo em escalas crescentes o conjunto da sociedade. A pesquisa foi
estruturada em duas grandes frentes de investigação: uma primeira de perfil
documental e bibliográfico buscou reconstituir a trajetória sócio-histórica da
atuação social dos empresários. A segunda voltou-se para a compreensão de suas
formas de ação frente às novas determinações do capitalismo contemporâneo.
Ainda que, analisando processos mais amplos, este estudo focaliza uma empresa
hoje multinacional, com marcante atuação no âmbito da RSE, cuja evolução
produtiva percorreu os diferentes modelos de intervenção social aqui identificado.
Considerando nossa hipótese de que um dos elementos fundamentais da RSE é
estruturar, também, uma contraface à emergência de conflitos internos e externos
aos interesses do capital, o estudo pautou-se pela identificação da manifestação
contraditória entre intervenção e conflito social. Foi utilizado instrumental
disponível pelas mídias digitais (internet, sites institucionais e outros endereços
eletrônicos) com ênfase no YouTube, considerando-o como um modo de
comunicação áudio-visual que dá visibilidade aos interesses e condições de vida
de grupos sociais e sistemas ambientais atingidos (e prejudicados) pelo avanço da
produção generalizada de mercadorias.<br>The present thesis studies entrepreneurs social responsibility from the
standpoint that their social intervention, instead of being a novelty, is anchored in
a long tradition that stretches back to the beginnings of Brazil s industrial
development. The different models of intervention developed in this tradition are
here identified as incorporation and management control of the social
question. Each model expresses the way capital-work relation was coped and the
search for legitimacy of the accumulation process at the internal level of its
productive force, on the one hand, and at the external level envolving increasingly
all society, on the other hand. The reseach was lead in two major fronts: firstly, a
documentary and litterary investigation sought to reconstruct the socio-historical
path of the social actions of entrepreneurs. Secondly, it turned to the
understanding of their forms of action in the face of new determinations of
contemporary capitalism. While analyzing broader processes, this study focuses
on a Brazilian multinational company which has today significant activity in the
evolution of CSR, and whose history toured the different models of social
intervention identified here. Considering our hypothesis that one of the basic
structure of CSR is also to oppose the emergence of internal and external conflicts
concerning the interests of capital, the study was guided by the identification of
the outbreak contradiction between intervention and social conflict. Sources
included many digital media available in internet, corporate websites and other email
addresses, with emphasis on YouTube, considered as a way of audio-visual
communication that has been giving visibility to the interests and living
conditions of social groups and environmental systems affected and affected by
the advance of generalized commodity production.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-29<br>The Brazilian business class assumes historical importance in the Brazilian economic
and social development, for its transforming role of contexts from the constitution of
companies, as well as the generation of employment and income. In the midst of the
whirlwind of radical changes brought about by globalization, entrepreneurs have been
increasingly called upon to participate in social democratization processes, in order to
enhance the exercise of citizenship with a view to reducing poverty, inequalities and
social exclusion. The present study had as objective to know the social representation of
the businessman in the scenario of globalization, seeking to identify the importance
granted to social development items that support the policies of corporate social
responsibility. From the Theory of Social Representations (Moscovici, 1978),
instruments of analysis were applied to 103 (one hundred and three) businessmen from
the city of Goiânia and surrounding areas, extracted from an occasional sample of the
representative base of the Goiás economy (small and midsize). The results allow us to
infer that the business class has been much closer to the ideals of profit and profitability
that mark its economic management than an advance in corporate social responsibility
policies, which only marginalize the peripheral environment of representational content
of the entrepreneur.<br>A classe empresarial brasileira assume importância histórica no desenvolvimento
econômica e social brasileiro, pelo seu papel transformador de contextos a partir da
constituição de empresas, bem como pela geração de emprego e renda. Em meio ao
turbilhão de mudanças radicais ocasionadas pela globalização, os empresários têm sido
cada vez mais chamados a participar dos processos de democratização social, de modo a
potencializar o exercício da cidadania com vistas a promover a diminuição da pobreza,
desigualdades e exclusões sociais. O presente estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a
representação social do empresário goiano no cenário da globalização, buscando
identificar a importância concedida a itens de desenvolvimento social que amparam as
políticas de responsabilidade social corporativa. A partir da Teoria das Representações
Sociais (Moscovici, 1978), foram aplicados instrumentos de análise junto a 103 (cento e
três) empresários da cidade de Goiânia e circunvizinhos, extraídos de uma amostra
ocasional da base representativa da economia goiana (empresas de pequeno e médio
porte). Os resultados nos permitem inferir que a classe empresarial apresentou-se muito
mais próxima dos ideais de lucro e rentabilidade que marcam sua gestão econômica do
que propriamente um avanço no que compete às políticas de responsabilidade social
corporativa, que apenas margeiam o ambiente periférico do conteúdo representacional
do empresário.

Full textAbstract:
Social entrepreneurs seek to create social value in various ways in the community. Notably, they encounter not only enabling factors but also face and attempt to deal with a variety of challenges in their endeavor to start and run social ventures. This academic paper adopts a single case study approach with the aims to explore challenges and attempts to deal with them, as well as enablers, in how Dr Govender sought to create social value within the community of Gelvandale in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Famhealth Medipark was chosen because it is unique and has been considered as an example of successful social entrepreneurship in Port Elizabeth. In the light of this, there has not been any previous study particularly focusing on its challenges and enablers in adding social value in the community through a multi-disciplinary venture. This research is valuable as it builds our understanding of how social entrepreneurs create social value. This qualitative study uses a single case study to focus on incidents of challenges and enabling factors as experienced, recollected and expressed by Dr Govender as a social entrepreneur. A variety of data, such as interview data collected through sampling incidents in nine in-depth initial and follow-up interviews, documents, audio documentaries and emails, were used. Open coding and constant comparison was used to analyze data and induce themes. Findings depict that Dr Govender as a social entrepreneur was propelled by four enablers: (1) strong enthusiasm to create positive change in others within a community, (2) network to resources, (3) a nurturing world view, and (4) consistent self-sacrifice. Dr Govender also revealed that he faced four types of challenges in setting up and operating Famhealth Medipark (FHM) as a vehicle with the sole purpose of creating and adding social value to the community of Gelvandale. Predominantly, (1) limitation of finance, (2) overwhelming effect of multiple roles, (3) negative effects of the non-accredited status of the care-giver training programme, and (4) the predominance of a destructive mindset entrenched within the Gelvandale community were key challenges he faced and attempted to deal with in setting up and operating a social venture to ultimately create social value. Although other types of data have been used, the predominant reliance on primary data collected through in-depth interviews is one of the major limitations of this qualitative study. However, this qualitative and exploratory study provides insights into our understanding of not only challenges encountered by social entrepreneurs but also the various drivers that sustain their social mission. Recommendations were then made, based on the findings from the research conducted.

Previous issue date: 2007-12-12<br>The objective of the research that originated this text was, by means of the
analysis of the interviews with a few Ashoka fellows social figure, try to identify
spaces in our society, in which actions that promote emancipation are possible. Trying
to locate models, recipes, pre-defined and replicable solutions; however, the reading
and listening during the works carried us in another direction.
Some forms of defining a name for the social figure were questioned, since
they don t spontaneously fit as entrepreneurs, nor as the well known militant. Social
poets and polyglots were names used in this work to enhance their qualities in social
listening and mediation.
The interview analyses showed they strongly value local knowledge, are
multifocal have multiple interests, are incapturable. Differently from the old
paradigm, instead of defining forms of producing the world, they go out there the
world, Habermas life-world listening and translating it, and mediating it with the
systemic world .
The main theoretical inspiration belongs to the philosopher J. Habermas. We
reflected some of his recent theoretical concerns, not avoiding however, referring to
other authors and propositions. High interests were placed in providing sense and
meaning to our interviewees. Thus in this work, theory is at the service of an empirical
world. The comprehension of the experience performed with our interviewees as
well as that of the interviewees with their communities was the key element, that as
such, selected the theory.
Lastly, the work suggests that these social figures, with their actions, seem to
rehearse changes in the political culture with the strengthening of civil society, as well
as a change in knowledge paradigm. The rehearsal a political culture that may results,
first and foremost, in facing our conscious individual and social responsibilities<br>O objetivo da pesquisa que deu origem a este texto foi tentar localizar em
nossa sociedade, por meio da análise de entrevistas com alguns fellows da Ashoka
figuras sociais , espaços nos quais ações que promovam emancipação sejam
possíveis.
Foram questionadas algumas formas para nomear essa figura social, uma vez
que ela não se enquadra espontaneamente como um empreendedor, nem como o
conhecido militante. Poetas e poliglotas do social foram os nomes utilizados neste
trabalho para valorizar suas qualidades de escuta do social e de mediação.
A análise das entrevistas apontou que eles valorizam sobremaneira os
saberes locais, são multifocais possuem múltiplos interesses, são incapturáveis.
Diferentemente do antigo paradigma, em vez de definir formas de produzir o mundo,
vão até lá o mundo, o mundo da vida de Habermas o escutam, o traduzem e
fazem sua mediação com o mundo sistêmico .
A inspiração teórica principal é do filósofo J. Habermas. Refletimos algumas
das suas recentes preocupações teóricas. Não evitamos, porém, recorrer a outros
autores e outras proposições. Interessou-nos sobremaneira dar sentido e significado
aos nossos entrevistados e, então, nesse trabalho, a teoria está a serviço do mundo
empírico. A compreensão da experiência que fizemos com os nossos entrevistados
e aquela que os entrevistados fazem com a comunidade foi o elemento guia que,
por assim dizer, selecionou a teoria.
Por fim, o trabalho sugere que essas figuras sociais, com suas atividades
parecem ensaiar mudanças na cultura política com fortalecimento da sociedade civil e
uma mudança no paradigma do conhecimento. Uma cultura política que implica,
antes de tudo, a conscientização de nossa responsabilidade individual e social

Previous issue date: 2012-08-08<br>Brazilian authorities, until few years ago, did not consider in their agenda of priorities the education as the main focus to the economic growth, perhaps because they did not believe that with the stability of money, economy opening and other factors, they would need qualified people to maintain the productive capacity. So, nowadays, the country tries to correct this situation investing on education, adding new technologies in the productive process, being necessary a task force able to learn and develop new techniques. Nowadays, Brazil sustains one of the lowest unemployment taxes, however, several companies suffer with the lack of qualified people, therefore it is necessary to train employees and as a consequence there is an increase in the costs. The companies try to deal with the lack of qualified people investing in programs such as trainees, hiring foreigner workers, creating corporative universities, and in some cases, the companies become close to the education net, aiming to prepare young people to the domain of new technologies, promoting their refinement in their acting area, avoiding the unbalance between theory and practice. The entrepreneur organizations conscious of their role, begin to understand that the so desired prosperity does not mean valuables invoices or simply the quantity of products sold. They become aware to the creation and adaptation of corporate citizens that through their social actions try to develop solidary activities. In this context, this study has as general aim to analyze the Social Entrepreneurial Responsibility under partnership view with schools (partnership between General Motors do Brasil, through its social arm -the Instituto General Motors end the Escola Municipal de Ensino Profª. Alcina Dantas Feijão da Cidade de São Caetano do Sul). The partnership is materialized through the program Jovem Empreendedor or Fábrica de Cabides . The purpose of this program is to bring the students the enterprise spirit and stimulate the rise of future enterprisers. With specific aims it has the following purposes: a) study the partnership between companies and developing schools of RSE; b) understand the reasons why the company and the schools materialize the partnership and its expectations; c) identify possible changes occurred in the school and attributed to the partnership process. From these aims, through the method of case study, it became evident that initiatives of partnership can revert into better quality of education, which makes possible the development of competence and necessary abilities to insert in the labor market with a citizen dimension.<br>O Brasil, até poucos anos atrás, não via em sua agenda de prioridades a educação como foco principal para o crescimento econômico, talvez por não acreditar que com a estabilidade da moeda, abertura da economia e outros fatores necessitassem de pessoal qualificado para poder manter a capacidade produtiva. Assim, o país tenta corrigir esta situação investindo em educação, incorporando novas tecnologias no processo produtivo, necessitando de uma força de trabalho hábil para aprender e desenvolver as novas técnicas. Atualmente o Brasil mantém um dos menores índices de desemprego, no entanto, muitas empresas sofrem com o apagão da qualificação, necessitando realizar treinamentos e por consequência aumento em seus custos. As empresas tentam driblar a falta de pessoal qualificado investindo nos programas de estágio e trainee, realizando contratações de profissionais estrangeiros, criando universidades corporativas, e em alguns casos, as empresas estreitam seus laços junto às redes de ensino, a fim de preparar jovens para o domínio de novas tecnologias, associado ao aprimoramento em sua área de atuação, evitando assim o desequilíbrio entre teoria e prática . As organizações empresariais conscientes de seu papel começam a compreender que a prosperidade tão almejada não se traduz por faturamentos vultosos ou simplesmente pela quantidade de produtos vendidos. Estas despertam para a criação e adaptação de empresas-cidadãs que por meio de suas ações sociais, buscam desenvolver atividades solidárias. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar a Responsabilidade Social Empresarial sob a ótica de parcerias com escolas (parceria entre a General Motors do Brasil, por meio de seu braço social - o Instituto General Motors e a Escola Municipal de Ensino Profª. Alcina Dantas Feijão da Cidade de São Caetano do Sul). A parceria se concretiza, por meio do Programa Jovens Empreendedores ou Fábrica de Cabides . O intuito do Programa é despertar o espírito empreendedor nos estudantes e incentivar a formação de futuros empresários. Com os objetivos específicos determinou-se: a) estudar parcerias entre empresas e escolas no desenvolvimento da RSE; b) entender os motivos que levaram a empresa e a escola a concretizar a parceria e suas expectativas; c) identificar possíveis alterações ocorridas na escola, atribuídas ao processo de parceria. A partir destes objetivos, o procedimento metodológico foi orientado pelo método de estudo de caso, objetivando uma pesquisa mais voltada para abordagem qualitativa, levantando-se referenciais teóricos, bem como, procedimentos de análise de dados por meio de questionário, observação direta e artefatos físicos. A análise compreensiva dos dados foi realizada a partir de dois núcleos temáticos: importância da parceria e mercado de trabalho. Os resultados evidenciam que iniciativas de parcerias podem se reverter em melhoria da qualidade de ensino que permita o desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências necessárias à inserção responsável no mercado de trabalho com uma dimensão cidadã.

Immigrant businesses represent a very large percentage of SMEs in Canada. Significant attention has been given to the phenomenon of immigrant entrepreneurship and their economic contribution to developed countries. However, little is known about the social contributions of these immigrant entrepreneurs to the host country. While the values of immigrant entrepreneurs are rooted in their home culture, they continue to evolve their beliefs and values to integrate into the host country. Emerging literature also affirms that the behaviour of second generation is different from the first generation immigrants. It is known that immigrants’ small business social responsibility (SBSR) is influenced by their home context, but how the host country context influences the SBSR behaviour of different generations is rarely explored. The objective of this study is to understand how society and culture integrate to shape immigrant social responsibility behavior and contributions, with focus on comparing first and second generation. Drawing from mixed embeddedness approach and culture values lens, I theorize about the influence of home country culture and host country context on immigrants SBSR behaviour and the potential consequences of differences in embeddedness on their contributions to the host country. Drawing on 20 detailed semi-structured interviews, I find that irrespective of the differences in generation, immigrants SBSR contributions are influenced by their home culture, their network composition, and the extent to which they are embedded in the host county. At the theoretical level, the mixed embeddedness approach has been augmented by applying it in the field of SBSR. In addition, the study fills a gap by introducing second generation immigrant entrepreneurs’ in SBSR context.

Narratives in corporate storytelling is a powerful and persuasive tool for validation of Corporate Social Responsibility. To further their social mission, IKEA partner with social entrepreneurs, a collaboration which produce products or services for IKEA while creating incomes for the social entrepreneurs, claimed by IKEA as a win-win. In this thesis, the win-win narrative is analysed with a management theory applied in a critical perspective in conjunction with a narrative method. The aim is to investigate the validity of the win-win narrative produced by IKEA in this partnership to identify to what extent this narrative meets the reality of IKEAs CSR and human rights commitments. Issues investigated are to what end this narrative is produced, what is the dominant narrative, what is not presented and how are the social entrepreneurs represented in the IKEA narrative.

ABSTRACT Title: The dialogue of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility Subtitle: Based on entrepreneur’s values-based vision Keywords: Corporate governance, Corporate Social Responsibility, Values-Based Service, Values, New Governance Problem: Scholars and the business world have often viewed CG and CSR as parallel. But because globalization and the existence of MNEs has weakened government control, NGOs and other stakeholders are pressuring MNEs for transparency, accountability and disclosure in their global activities which involve social, environmental and ethical dilemmas. Stakeholders are also pressuring companies for values resonance. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to assess the integration of corporate governance and CSR based on an entrepreneur’s values-based vision. Methodology: This exploratory research was conducted using a qualitative approach and the case study research method. Data collected included IKEA annual reports from 2003-2010 and external reports as well as information from relevant scientific articles and research books. A deductive approach was taken to analyze data through an interpretative procedure. Conclusions: The VBS of a company takes into consideration CSR and all resource integrators. However, CSR is not sufficient in itself to create a fully VBS company. There is need for CG principles to accomplish CSR strategies, goals and values that must be in resonance with other stakeholders’ values. Thus New Governance which is empowered by NGOs is a catalyst for the convergence and integration of CG and CSR in companies. We think that the business case of IKEA needs new governance to become a complete VBS.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract While global levels of hunger and malnutrition have dropped significantly in the last few decades, there are concerns that agricultural advancements and R&D spending are not enough to unlock the true agricultural innovation needed to feed the burgeoning 10 billion people. Government spending on agricultural R&D has decreased in the last decade and many of the large-scale NGO activities are now focusing on environmental and sustainability issues. With the evolution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, coupled with the growth of agricultural startups and venture funds, the role of agriculture and hunger relief has dramatically changed in the last several decades. A new focus on sustainable growth, capabilities development, and innovative approaches for smallholder farmers has created an environment of continuous innovation that has replaced many of the donation-based hunger relief initiatives of the past. Large corporations are working with local NGOs and support groups to tackle global hunger on a local basis. In the next decade, we should see more socially minded entrepreneurs that will work with NGOs and private businesses to solve the issues of smallholder farming and provide the opportunity to introduce both digital and agricultural innovations at the local level to further the quest to feed the world.

The aim of this chapter is to advance the understanding of how social entrepreneurs analyze and apply intellectual capital and corporate social responsibility within their companies. From the extensive literature review, the broad definitions of intellectual capital, and corporate social responsibility, the measurement models and the management of intellectual capital and the development process of corporate social responsibility were identified. Modern, socio-economic, philanthropic, and classical views were taken into consideration to explain corporate social responsibility in detail. In order to develop holistic understanding, the relationship between intellectual capital and corporate social responsibility on the basis of entrepreneur were analyzed. The understanding of the intellectual capital and corporate social responsibility in companies were shown by theoretical framework of resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, stakeholder theory, and legitimacy theory.

Contemporary society is characterized by the prevalence of wicked problems to which the efforts and actions of some entrepreneurs have negatively contributed to social problems. Corporate social responsibility emerged as an early response to multi-factor problems that are difficult to conceptualize or structure, but it has had limited success in engendering significant structural societal change. Social entrepreneurship is a contested construct that typically includes the social entrepreneur. A definition of social entrepreneurs is provided drawing on the literature. Social entrepreneurs offer leadership for social innovation outcomes as an antidote to prevailing social issues. This contributes to the literature on social entrepreneurs by examining how social entrepreneurs lead in the digital era. Importantly, this chapter considers the role that authentic leader behaviors (awareness, sincerity, balanced processing, positive moral perspectives, and informal influence) has in enabling social entrepreneurs to create and innovate.

Nowadays, one of the essential issues of any business is represented by CSR. Corporate Social Responsibility is also known, from a European view, as the “Responsible Business Conduct” of everyone, and so this paper highlights the importance of being responsible from early beginnings. Being actual “revolutionary forces”, entrepreneurs contribute to national wealth and growth, job creation, productivity stimulation, adaptation and innovation to meet ongoing changes in market demands. We analyze the conduct of young entrepreneurs and discuss their knowledge in the matter of CSR. We ask young entrepreneurs: What type of CSR actions their firms undertake? How their age and size of the firm influence CSR actions? Their answers are to be analyzed and discussed in a broader context as one of the European Union. Measuring CSR awareness among young entrepreneurs shows a significant increase at a macro level but still a low rate when looking at other UE countries. Our findings prove that entrepreneurs are aware of the concept and dimensions of CSR, but still, profit is more important. We conclude and highlight the importance of productive entrepreneurial activities supported by integrating CSR actions into the company’s strategy and development directions to ensure the balance between the company’s objectives and its interests.

Abstract Over 250 million people in India currently lack access to basic services needed to live a rudimentary lifestyle. Most of these people reside in rural parts of the country. Lack of employment, economic opportunities, and development in rural areas are foundational to low socio-economic levels in these communities. Added to this are environmental issues such as natural resource depletion, yearlong droughts, climate change. We hypothesize that social enterprises developed at the community level can improve the quality of life of people in rural India. The lack of access to investment and resources to identify and develop social enterprises are major challenges for the creation of social enterprises. We hypothesize that a successful partnership between two major stakeholders, namely, social entrepreneurs and corporate social responsibility (CSR) investors is the key in developing multiple social enterprises to foster rural development. However, CSR and other investors require quantitative information along with impact evaluation of the value proposition before investing. Social entrepreneurs lack tools to develop and present value propositions for the village in a quantitative form. In this paper, we propose a computational framework to fill this gap and to facilitate dialog between CSR investors and social entrepreneurs that may result in a mutually favorable investment.
