Section: The Impact Of the Financial Crisis And Economic Downturn Dur...mentioning
The paper focuses on the influence of the financial crisis and economic downturn during 2008-2009 on the world's 500 biggest corporations. The authors present an overview of literature providing some insight into the impact the global financial crisis and economic downturn during 2008-2009 exerted on enterprises and their operations. The empirical data gathered from the Fortune Global 500 reports during 2007-2010 are used in cluster analysis and descriptive statistics. The empirical research conducted by the authors allows to indicate that among the analyzed population there exist significant differences in terms of their financial performance measured as return on revenues, return on assets and profit per employee. The discrepancies in this area grew during the crisis period. The reaction to the crisis among the analyzed population in the first year of the crisis (which was characterized by a high level of uncertainty among enterprises), was different than in the next year (when estimation of the risk associated with ongoing activities was easier). Among the companies that were most severely influenced by the crisis (their financial performance worsened the most) dominate those operating in Airlines, Diversified Financials and Motor Vehicles and Parts industries.

“…Based on the Integrated Guidelines for Growth and Jobs developed in 2005-2008 by the European Council and the ISO 26000 -International Standard on Social Responsibility, Romania formed an initiative group for an active involvement of the public sector, the private sector and non-governmental sector in implementing a coherent strategy, in order to promote social responsibility in Romania.

Section: The Strategic Approach Of Social Responsibility In Romaniamentioning
Organizations around the world are becoming increasingly concerned with need of a responsible approach. The performance of any organization, regardless of its form (private or public), is narrowly connected to the level of community development in which it operates, organization' impact on environment or on society in general. Since the early 21st century, the public sector has joined other stakeholders in taking a more active role in promoting social responsibility vector at company level. In this paper we propose, through an exploratory research of the literature, to approach the role of institutions and public authorities, the public sector, in general, in supporting, promoting and developing social responsibility initiatives. Theoretical research is accompanied by an empirical research on the manner in which in Romania, a country EU member, the public sector managed to have a strategic approach in terms of social responsibility.
