This paper compares today’s corporate management in developing markets (BRICS countries) vs. developed markets (the OECD countries). The influence of determining a new social corporate management season considering social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic on emerging markets' economic growth is ascertained and set apart from corporate management in developing markets. This paper helps clarifying and better understanding the role of corporate social responsibility in the conditions of an economic crisis against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. This work provides scientific arguments that allow solving critical discussions regarding the advantages (growth of quality of life, an increase of business's competitiveness) and costs (limitation of economic growth, non-commercial use of profit, and increased price for goods and services) of domestic production and consumption. In the long-term, responsible financial practices return all investments and allow countries to better cope with a crisis. The research supplies a new view of corporate social responsibility as a measure of crisis management. It reflects its advantages at a time of social distancing in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The institutionalization of corporate social responsibility in emerging countries is not predetermined by internal factors (approach to doing business or organizational culture), if not by external factors (market status, state regulation, and consumer awareness). These circumstances prove the high complexity of strengthening corporate social responsibility in developing countries. In the conditions of social distancing – due to the COVID-19 pandemic – corporate social responsibility goes to a new level. In both developing and developed countries, one of the most widespread manifestations of corporate social responsibility is the entrepreneurship's transition to the remote form of activities. This envisages the provision of remote employment for workers and the online purchase of goods and services for consumers.

“…When measuring the quality of economic growth in the conditions of Industry 4.0 it is necessary to use the criteria of innovative and marketing activity, balance and sustainability, and optimality of the sectorial structure of GDP with emphasis on the processing industry and, in particular, on hi-tech production. This point of view is described in the works (Popkova et al, 2013;Popkova & Alferova, 2019;Popkova, 2018;Popkova et al, 2018a;Popkova, 2018;Popkova et al, 2018b;Popkova, 2018;Popkova et al, 2018c). Thus, the performed literature overview on the selected topic showed that the fundamental issues of Industry 4.0 and managing the quality of economic growth are studied in detail in the existing works.…”

In the conditions of Industry 4.0, quality of economic growth is treated through the prism of its innovational, hi-tech, and marketing characteristics, which are traditionally different in developed and developing countries. Based on the law of the transformation of quantity into quality, the following hypothesis is offered: qualitative characteristics of the national product have to determine its quantitative characteristicsgrowth rateand management of economic growth could and should be performed on the basis of quality of the national product in the conditions of Industry 4.0 in view of specifics of developed and developing countries.

“…4. As Popkova et al (2018) state, "economic growth of developing countries that exceeds the growth of developed countries stimulates the reduction of disproportions in development of the world economic system". We therefore argue that the Keynesian idea of spiralling consumption as a driver for future societal and individual wellbeing must be retired.…”

“…In this paper, we have taken for granted that export is an enabler for developing nations. Popkova et al (2018) make an interesting case when showing how inefficiently the export trade currently affects lowincome country economies. In brief, they argue that export often does not bring with it additional effects on the economies, due to inefficient social and financial structures.…”

Using Data Centre Waste Heat to Dry Coffee Whilst Supplying Small-Scale Farmers With ICT: A Novel Idea and a Case Study Based on a Systems Approach

we address energy consumption of data centres, more than one per cent of the world's future electrical power. Based on a systems approach, we currently explore commodity drying using data centre waste heat, an idea here presented for the first time to the research community. Many low-and midincome countries are producing coffee, which sometimes needs mechanical drying. Using waste heat to dry coffee would be financially appealing. Conversely, if an existing drying facility may be powered by waste heat, this may call for small-scale data centre construction, in turn increasing ICT availability locally or regionally. Thus, there is a bond between environmental gains and sustainable growth of a community. We therefore investigate both environmental and societal benefits of this idea. Through a site selection based on a new index, we have chosen Costa Rica for our case study, and arrived to an estimate for its data centre waste heat drying capability. We also discuss our findings in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
