Description of the research topic:

The essence of CSR and the steps to be taken to implement it are described in the ISO 26000 standard in the most complete way that can be understood by any organization, even an SME. Since the introduction of the standard in 2010, there have been organizations (such as OTP Bank or KÖVET Association) that have propagated the spread of the standard, but there is still little awareness on that in the Hungarian SME sector. The main research questions are 1. what is the reason for this situation and 2. how it can be changed.

Expected results of the research: we will get a state of the art report on the usage of ISO 26000 among Hungarian SMEs, with the detailed description of the potential reasons of its relative lack of success. Based on these results we can formalize suggestions for business actors and regulators for enabling the spread of the standard.
Expected new competences and knowledge: student will develop competences in research of SMEs and CSR as well, both form theoretical and practical sides.

Required language skills: angol

Deadline for application: 2021-08-31
