“…On the other hand, del Rosario González-Rodríguez et al [18] point out that the way the consumers perceive corporate social responsibility may be directly affected by the individual benefit structures, the range of which is very extensive. Studies in this area show that CSR provides more flexibility to organizations themselves, when operating in various situations [16,19], such as in dealing with emerging crises [20], contributing to the active development of goodwill [21][22][23], while addressing relevant social and ethical problems not only by means of specific support-as is often perceived-but also by changing the moral and ethical climate in the socio-cultural media in which they operate through their values [24][25][26][27]. This can be compared with the metaphor of a growing snowball, especially if the organizations focus not only on the present, but also on the long-term rebound effect.…”

Current corporations are subject to stringent requirements in terms of sustainable development; however, a relevant problem is highlighted on the basis of the studies conducted. On the one hand, corporations experience greater or lesser pressure, while on the other hand, it must be admitted that the problem of demand for professionals, which is presupposed by the insufficient quality of training in higher education institutions, is important. This is somewhat strange given that the issues of business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability have attracted increased attention in management education in recent years, and a five-fold increase in the number of stand-alone ethics courses has been noted since 1988. This interaction could contribute to the development of CSR, however a certain dissonance of cooperation between higher education and business exists, as there is a lack of leadership in this area in the study programs of business administration approved by the states, as well as in higher education institutions. Given these facts, the goal of the paper is to analyze the Master of Business Administration programs in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia to offer direction to the challenge of integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) into management and training. The method of analysis of professional business and administration training program content in terms of the integration of CSR was used during the survey. Using panel data of 28 full-time MBA programs, our findings show that that the core parts of MBAs under analysis merely-and mostly indirectly-cover CSR issues through one core course on business ethics. However, the leading MBA programs are currently missing an opportunity by ignoring their responsibility to support the training of CSR-minded future business administration professionals. The results of our research may act as a guide to which areas should be modified and/or changed.

“…Management should also try to establish a good company reputation against hypocrisy by simultaneously encouraging employees to share their insights about what is good for the society or the environment (Janssen et al, 2015;Wong et al, 2014). For instance, Google employees have been encouraged to share ideas with the organization.…”

“…Prior research (Aguilera, Rupp, Williams, & Ganapathi, ; Janssen, Sen, & Bhattacharya, ) indicates that for businesses the payoff on CSR initiatives depends on perceived motives that stakeholders attribute to their involvement in such initiatives. It is argued (Du, Bhattacharya, & Sen, ; Janssen et al, ; Skarmeas & Leonidou, ) that stakeholders tend to make a distinction between CSR based on egoistic (extrinsic) motives driven by anticipated economic gains and ethic‐based (intrinsic) motives reflecting a genuine concern for societal needs. Stronger attributions of intrinsic motives lead stakeholders to make positive inferences about the firm and render CSR activities an effective instrument for building a positive societal image.…”

Against the backdrop of increasing foreign direct investment flows in the developing economies in Asia, the investigation of topical aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the region increases in importance. We examine the CSR motives of four large indigenous agribusiness firms in India with a view of assessing the validity of the claim that CSR in this country, compared to developed countries, is influenced substantially more by moral, cultural, and religious considerations and less by self-interest and profit seeking. Unlike numerous other investigations of CSR that rely on questionnaires and company reports, our data are drawn from in-depth interviews and theme analysis revealing some intricate motives behind CSR behavior and business conditions that inspire them. Our findings challenge some previously reported results and indicate that the degree to which such a behavior is affected by the state of economic development and cultural differences may be smaller than is often argued.
