“…The same situation is observed in other courses that are not inherently focused on CSR, such as marketing, public relations, accounting, etc., which have started to include CSR in their syllabuses in the last few years. Positive development in the higher level of involvement in CSR training modules has also been described by Adámek [76]. According to his research in 2013, Corporate Social Responsibility courses were offered by 21% of higher education institutions.…”

“…This comparison and its conclusions explain the country differences in this High Education context and according to Schwartz's values theory and the Triple Bottom line, the study reveals different value profiles by gender and nationality, and diverse attitudes to CSR perception across European countries. As mentioned in the literature review, respondents from different countries are influenced by the cultural factors, their individual cognitive moral development and education, and by the historical development of the country from which they come from [62,65,66,76]. Corporate social responsibility has evolved differently not only between Western and Eastern European counterparts, but also within those regions.…”

“…That means that they would care if their investment did not cause any harm, and only then would they care if their investment also contributed to the prevention of negative impact. The Millennial generation are increasingly becoming important actors in business, and by 2025, they will make up 75% of the workforce (Deloitte 2014 as cited in [76]). A total of 56% of Millennials were likely to refuse to work for a company after learning that it was not socially or environmentally responsible [82][83].…”

We live in a new era with contradictory views on society, industries, and the whole world. Raising consumerism is compensated by raising the responsibility of the new generation, the so-called Millennials. The paper deals with the awareness of Millennials of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and their attitude to sustainable and responsible investment (SRI). The research is focused specifically on students of economically oriented higher education institutions (HEI), studying in the Czech Republic. For the purpose of general awareness of the term CSR, a sample of 1073 HEI students from different institutions was analyzed and evaluated. For the evaluation of their attitude to SRI, 213 respondents from Mendel University in Brno were interviewed. The research brought surprising results—bachelor’s degree students have a better awareness of the term than master’s degree students. This surprising fact can be explained by the fact that CSR courses have been incorporated into studies in recent years. Another important finding from the second research is that 57% of respondents are willing to sacrifice part of their return in the case of an investment in socially responsible instruments. This fact can be used for the design of an investment strategy offered by investment institutions.

In the last decades corporate social responsibility (CSR) has forcefully and irreversibly become a part of the corporate actions of a growing number of companies and continues to provoke the interest of governments, international institutions, scientists and researchers. The new imperatives on CSR have increased the requirements of companies towards the education and preparation of experts with the requisite skills and competences.The objective of the paper is to discuss how business universities meet the demand for new business models and management skills in order to help companies in Bulgaria to develop socially responsible practices.The study is based on a web-content analysis of the curricula and study programs of all Bulgarian universities training business and management students in Bachelor and Master programs. The obtained results regarding the current status of CSR education are interpreted in the context of CSR in businesses in Bulgaria. To this end, results were used from a large-scale study by the authors on the status and trends of development of CSR in Bulgaria, thus uncovering the needs of companies operating on the Bulgarian market in terms of employees with CSR skills and competences, and showing the gap between the demand and supply of CSR education for business and management graduates in Bulgarian universities (Bachelor and Master programs). The conclusions delineate the directions in which teaching CSR-related issues should develop in higher education institutions in Bulgaria.

“…In [6] the situation at Spanish universities is evaluated, Vázquez [7] studied CSR students´ perception at Uruguay universities, [8] evaluated the situation at Bulgarian universities. The authors in [9] emphasize the importance of CSR as an integral part of education of future managers in the Czech Republic, and Adámek [10] analyses the extent of the wide range of CSR topics in education in the Czech Republic. Approach to education and teaching CSR is very complicated and unsystematic in the Czech Republic.…”

The aim of the paper is to evaluate the educational process of CSR education and identify the important factors influencing the attitude of the students to this topic. The authors are presenting results of a 2017 survey. The starting point of the research was analysis of the Tourism curriculum at the University of Economics, Prague (VŠE), identifying the elements of CSR in terms of content, scope, forms and educational methods. That was followed by a survey concerning the extent of identification of fresh graduates with the CSR principles. As methods were used: analysis of secondary resources, interviews and questionnaire. The curriculum needs to be changed and the CSR should get higher importance and emphasis as the graduates evaluate the presence of the topic as insufficient. The graduates see the CSR as an important matter not conditioned by profit. Based on the researches, several guidelines for increasing the presence of CSR in the tourism curriculum are proposed. The presented research is part of the fulfilment of long-term strategy for improving the quality of tourism student education at the
