Corporate Social Responsibility as a Tool for Sustainability in Entrepreneurship
No full textCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly gaining attention as an essential component of business. In the current environment, entrepreneurs may be searching for strategies to maintain a competitive advantage. CSR-based initiatives may help businesses differentiate themselves from others in the market, attracting customers that align with their values. This paper includes a review of the CSR concept and the role that CSR can play in increasing competitiveness in entrepreneurship. The literature revealed that businesses that engage in CSR based activities see increased customer loyalty, trust, and profit. Therefore, engaging in CSR behaviors may enhance sustainability and growth for entrepreneurial ventures
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Importance of Generational Corporate Social Responsibility Perspective: A Literature Review
Get PDFThe corporate social responsibility concept (CSR) is attracting attention in the business environment. This paper includes a review of CSR and the importance of understanding generational perspective of CSR. Evidence suggests that integrating CSR into business strategy has an impact on a company’s ability to attract and retain consumers. Literature revealed that implementing CSR initiatives results in benefits including building a favorable reputation and consumer loyalty. As a result, implementing CSR initiatives tailored to generational preferences might increase the ability of a business to realize the benefits previously listed. Therefore, understanding the perspectives of a specific generational market is meaningful
Comparing the Corporate Social Responsibility Perceptions of Generation X
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine differences between CSR perceptions of Generation X’ers born in the 1960s versus those born in the 1970s. The researcher investigated Generation X perceptions using Carroll’s dimensions including economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibility. Although results provided support that statistically significant differences did not exist, this study provided evidence of which CSR perceptions Generation X’ers value most. Members of Generation X place the highest value on legal, followed by ethical, economic, and philanthropic responsibilities respectively. Results may inform leadership regarding which dimensions to utilize in building CSR initiatives
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Learning Through Case Studies in Higher Education
Get PDFThe use of case studies in the classroom offers an experiential and active approach to learning. Case studies increase student engagement by providing a foundation for applying theoretical concepts to real world situations. Students may achieve higher learning potential through reflection, discussion, and possible debate of various outcomes and solutions within a case study. Experiential learning through case studies allows students to take an active role in learning rather than a passive role. This paper will explain how case studies are effective in achieving learning goals in the classroom. Additionally, a detailed outline of a model that can be used to analyze a case in any discipline will be presented
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
