“…Johnson and Brennan (2015) stated that technology plays a major role in CSR by accessing to the information and resulting in the increase of stakeholders' expectations which motivates the company to increase their CSR towards their stakeholders. Malaquias et al (2016) studied the effect of IT use on the business responsibility and developed a model based on the Carroll CSR theory which stated that Economical, Legal, Ethical and Discretionary are the responsibilities of the organizations. It was also found that there is a positive effect of IT use on the CSR activities of the business.…”

Information technology (IT), being an effective fount for all types of business policies, is useful for executing any firm's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. IT has advanced tools and applications to execute the business plans very effectively which can leave the lasting footprints on the society, and also be helpful in increasing profits, enhancing the workplace, creating transformations for the disabled employees, creating educational opportunities that can bridge the digital divide, improving the business ethics and helping the society. CSR has become an integral part of the organizations which are involving all their stakeholders as beneficiaries and India is the first country to have the mandated CSR regulations. The present study has made an attempt to study the impact of CSR Regulations and technology on the CSR disclosures of the Indian Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) having Maharatna Status. For this purpose, Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure Index (CSRDI) developed by Charumathi & Padmaja, 2015 was adopted for measuring the level of CSR disclosure and Corporate Information and Communication Technology Usage Index (CICTI) was developed and used to measure the level of IT usage. This study used secondary data. Using manual content analysis, the required data for (a) CSR Disclosures were collected from the annual reports of Maharatna companies and (b) CICT usage were collected from the web portals, recruitment portals, social media, news articles, CSR news by Maharatna companies and other digital sources. The sample for the study includes seven Maharatna CPSEs and the period of the study is six years ranging from 2011-12 to 2016-17. Using paired t test, it is found that there is a significant difference in CSR disclosures during pre and post-regulatory periods. CSR disclosures of Maharatna companies significantly increased post-CSR regulatory period. Using multiple regression analysis, it is found that there is a positive and significant relationship between the ICT usage and the CSR disclosures of Maharatna companies.

“…Las tecnologías de la información (TI) se han extendido en la vida cotidiana de una manera sin precedentes (Abdel-Aziz et al, 2016), por lo que acceder a estas tecnologías es un requisito muy importante para relacionarse de forma activa y eficaz (Tello, 2007). Las empresas no son la excepción, la implementación de herramientas tecnológicas en las empresas, pueden convertirse en una herramienta para volverse más dinámicos y estar a la altura de las grandes industrias o economías a nivel mundial (Cabarcas et al, 2015), los beneficios de la TI son globales y pueden adoptar diferentes formas: i) reducir la duplicación de esfuerzos en la organización; ii) aumentar la velocidad y la fiabilidad de las transacciones; iii) mejorar la comunicación con los clientes y terceros; iv) generar ganancias de eficiencia en la gestión; v) mejorar el proceso interno; vi) facilitar el acceso a la información interna y externa; y vii) contribuir al reclutamiento y selección de empleados (Malaquias et al, 2016). Es una realidad que el avance de las TI ha revolucionado las prácticas de negocio y estrategias de la industria (John, 2015), es considerada como uno de los componentes más importantes en el ámbito empresarial actual, ya que ofrece oportunidades para que las empresas tomen ventaja con respecto a sus competidores (Albertin y Albertin, 2008), transformando estas tecnologías en una necesidad para poder competir en la mayoría de las industrias (Pérez-Aróstegui et al, 2015).…”

ResumenUtilizando la colección principal de la base de datos Web of Science de Thomson and Reuters, se analizaron las publicaciones en cuyo título incluían el concepto de realidad aumentada, dado que en los últimos años esta tecnología ha tenido un explosivo crecimiento en distintas áreas y disciplinas. Este estudio analiza la relación de la realidad aumentada con la administración de negocios y la metodología empleada corresponde a un análisis bibliométrico, obteniendo mapas estratégicos para dos periodos estudiados. Se concluye que las investigaciones del primer periodo tienen un foco esencialmente técnico, mientras que, para el segundo periodo, están más enfocados a la relación entre dicha tecnología y las personas. Los temas de ambiente, aceptación tecnológica y computación ubicua, presentan una oportunidad para su desarrollo en el ámbito empresarial, el cual aún no ha sido explorado con fuerza. Palabras AbstractUsing the Web of Science Core Collection of Thomson and Reuters, publications whose title included the concept of augmented reality were analyzed, considering that in recent years this technology has had an explosive growth in different areas and disciplines. This study analyzes the relationship of augmented reality with business administration. The methodology used is a bibliometric analysis. Strategic maps were obtained for two periods studied. It is concluded that research done during the first period has an essentially technical focus, whereas, for the second period, they are more focused on the relation between this technology and people. Subjects such as environment, technological acceptance and ubiquitous computing present an opportunity for its development in the business field, which has not yet been strongly explored.
