    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?

    Speakers include:

    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

    If you wish to reserve a place for this seminar, please contact: S.Stephens@mdx.ac.uk

    Please note that while attendance is free, places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
