“…Nowadays, many countries are increasingly embracing the idea of CSR in different forms. For example, while in the USA the notion of CSR emphasizes its philanthropic aspects (Porter and Kramer, 2002), in Europe, the trend is that organizations should integrate economic, social and environmental issues as part of their organizational philosophy (Cazeri et al, 2018), and in Brazil, CSR is considered a means to help reduce the country's huge social inequality (Cazeri et al, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the viewpoint of undergraduate Management students at a Brazilian public university regarding the notion of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It theoretically articulates the notion of CSR and the formal education perspective to discuss managerial education. Design/methodology/approach Stude nts in the Management program were surveyed for their opinion on the notion of CSR. Data were collected through triangulation by combining the application of questionnaire and documentary research. There were 241 valid questionnaires, and this is the size of the sample. Data were analyzed by using the SPSS software (version 20), descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. Findings Results reveal that, for undergraduate Management students, the most important CSR dimensions are, in hierarchical order, the philanthropic, the ethical, the legal and the economic. Thus, one can notice an inversion of the original CSR pyramid proposed by Carroll (1991). Research limitations/implications The main limitation is the conduction of research in the context of a single public university. Practical implications Results indicate a change in how CSR is understood, the philanthropic dimension becoming the main factor for the establishment of organizational goals. Social implications Considering that undergraduate Management students are the future members of the corporate world and decision-makers in society, these results indicate the stance these future professionals will take when confronted by dilemmas involving CSR. Originality/value This investigation is original in Brazilian context, for it identifies students’ opinion on CSR using a questionnaire whose development was based on the CSR pyramid.

“…For that reason, garments manufacturers have been incorporating CSR as a marketing tool for shaping the fragmented perception of their stakeholders and end users ( Anh Nguyen and Le VO., 2019 ; de Abreu, 2015 ; Jammulamadaka, 2016 ; Lee and Lee, 2015 ; Metzner and Fischer, 2010 ; Perry and Towers, 2009 ; Salma, 2016 ). Although, garments manufacturing industry has been imparting a notable role in CSR related activities around the globe ( Anh Nguyen and Le VO., 2019 ; Cazeri et al., 2018 ; Jammulamadaka, 2016 ; Metzner and Fischer, 2010 ; Perry and Towers, 2009 ; Salma, 2016 ). However, still much is yet to be discovered regarding the perceptive impact of CSR related practices in the garments manufacturing industry ( Baskaran et al., 2011 ; Chi, 2011 ; Farooq and Salam, 2020 ; Jahn and Brühl, 2019 ; Jammulamadaka, 2016 ; Kolk, 2016 ; Mohamed Adnan et al., 2018 ; Potdar et al., 2020 ).…”

Implementation of cleaner production practices (CPP), service quality (SQ) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is often studied at organizational level. A number of studies on trio have reported it’s significant impact on overall organizational performance and profitability across the globe. However, not much is studied about the individual level micro influence of these constructs on employee engagement (EE), organizational pride (OP), organizational identification (OI) and “desire to have a significant impact through work” (DSIW). Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR on EE, OP, OI and DSIW. Data collected from 320 non-managerial staff members employed at a garments manufacturing company in Pakistan was analyzed using partial least square (PLS) approach. Findings revealed that the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR plays an important role in shaping EE, OP, OI and DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. Further, it is found that the implementation of CPP has a non-significant impact on SQ. Additionally, results of the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) have also confirmed that the implementation of CPP at company level has shown a highest importance and performance amongst all the latent constructs proposed as predictors of DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. These findings are a step forward and unique contribution of this study in the domain of CPP, SQ, CSR, EE, OP, OI and DSIW.

“…These three pillars are also referred to as 3Ps model, standing for 'profit, people and planet' (The Economist, 2009). As such, 3BL directly associates with CSR (Cazeri et al, 2018;Manente et al, 2014;Stoddard et al, 2012;Vo et al, 2015;_ Zak, 2015). Krajnc and Glavič (2005) explained 3BL as 'the creation of goods and services using processes and systems that are non-polluting, conserving energy and natural resources, economically viable, safe and healthful for employees, communities and consumers, socially and creatively rewarding for all working people' ( _ Zak, 2015).…”

This study aims at identifying the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the competitiveness of tourist enterprises in an emerging tourism region – Mekong Delta in Vietnam with an empirical case of Ben Tre Province. Combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, we conducted a survey of 250 respondents including directors, deputy directors, managing and running tourism businesses. Through statistical tests of scale reliability, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling, we found that there are five perspectives of CSR significantly affecting the enterprise competitiveness, including (1) human-oriented CSR, (2) social activity–oriented CSR, (3) partner-oriented CSR, (4) environment-oriented CSR and (5) product and service quality–oriented CSR. Especially, this study identified the important roles of three new elements discovered through our expert interviews and group discussions, including ‘connection between business culture development strategy and the local and native cultures’, ‘tourism products/services promoting local special features’ and ‘tourism products/services promoting green environment’. From these findings, we proposed some managerial implications for policymakers to have proper policies in promoting CSR among tourist enterprises and improving their competitiveness.
