Seminar Series
Corporate Social Responsibility among SMEs from emerging/developing economies
Comparative perspectives on CSR among SMEs
Wednesday 30 April 2014, 11am-5pm
Middlesex University, UK, Hendon campus, The Barn
This ESRC-funded seminar symposium brings together key researchers to consider developed country versus emerging/developing country perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Are there, for example, differences between developed and emerging/developing economies in terms of SME motivations for doing CSR, obstacles to doing CSR, relevant supporting institutions, regulations or cultural traditions?

Dima Jamali , American University of Beirut, Lebanon
Søren Jeppesen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
Bobby Banerjee, Cass Business School, City University London, UK
Kenneth Amaeshi, University of Edinburgh, UK
Andrea Werner, Middlesex University Business School, UK
Cedric Nkiko, freelance sustainability consultant, UK
