    Poverty reduction through corporate social responsibility: case study of Peruvian rural families
    (MDPI, 2023-01-09) Ventura, José; Jauregui, Kety
    Poverty remains one of this millennium’s main problems, which why the first objective of sustainable development is poverty reduction. Multiple actors are working on this issue: states, multilateral organisms, civil societies, and—perhaps less boldly—the private sector, through social responsibility programs. In this research, the aim was to understand how rural families perceive the contribution of CSR programs, in respect to the decrease in rural poverty. A total of 20 rural families, who were beneficiaries from CSR programs belonging to two extractive companies, were interviewed; furthermore, they were no longer poor and were currently dwelling within the highlands and jungles of Perú. The results show that the CSR strategies used by the companies directly and indirectly contribute toward a reduction in rural poverty, and particularly those more specifically related to capacity development, access to markets, and strategic philanthropy. In this study, it was also found that families mostly use the strategy of informal entrepreneurship, which is not directly linked to the companies’ actions; as such, this could serve as a basis for the future implementation of CSR actions.

    Responsabilidad social corporativa y reputación corporativa en el sector financiero de países en desarrollo
    (Georgetown University, 2016-04-04) Lizarzaburu, Edmnundo R.; Del Brio, Jesus
    The article proposes a theoretical model that relates corporate social responsibility and corporate reputation in order to hypothesizing influence on investor confidence by studying and usinig cases of financial firms in Peru. the case study method is used to analyze four Peruvian banks accounting for 25% of all participants of the banking system in Peru and 80% in the participation of three financial indicators: % credits, % deposits and % Patrimony. Peruvian banking companies have improved their reputation for social responsibility actions. This improved reputation has been correlated with a strengthening of the value of the company. Furthermore, analysis of each case, framed in CSR plans generates seven propositions classified in three relationships (CSR and investor confidence, CSR and corporate reputation and corporate reputation and investor confidence). In future studies, we intend to extend this analysis with large samples of Peruvian companies have developed CSR practices. The novelty of this work is twofold. The literature has analyzed the concepts of CSR and RC isolation. After a thorough review a model that relates the two concepts is proposed. Second, the model is used to hypothesize CSR and CR relationship in financial sector companies in developing countries. The research on this topic has been conducted mainly in production companies and developed countries.

    Corporate social responsibility review
    (Virtus Interpress, 2015) Lizarzaburu Bolaños, Edmundo R.; Del Brío, Jesús
    This research paper represents a literature review of corporate social responsibility (CSR), as it has evolved and their use and impact in several countries. As a consequence of competitive markets, several entities must endeavor to reveal a picture of themselves as highly socially responsible enterprises. The increment in academic and practitioner interest in “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has led the development of a set of definitions regarding the concept and their application” (Jamali and Mirshak 2007). The term is not a new concept (Taneja, Taneja and Gupta, 2011) it was developed since 1950´s. Nowadays, several literature presents substantial evidence that CSR activities can play a significant role in enhancing a firm’s value (Mahfuja, 2013). In this scenario, the following paper examines the broad progress of the ideas behind the concept though its origins and evolution in a country focus approach, practices implementation and literature available from different authors over the time. Also, we outline a set of core elements that many scholars associate this term with and finally we develop a special focus towards the stakeholders approach among all theories available on this matter.

    (MDPI, 2022-01-12) Lizarzaburu Bolaños, Edmundo R.; Del Brío, Jesús; García-Gómez, Conrado Diego
    This paper analyzes the direct influence of CSR educational actions on business confidence in the context of the banking sector in an emerging country (Peru). A mediating effect through corporate reputation is also analyzed. To test the hypotheses presented in this paper, we have sent a survey to 1745 executive officers of the branches of the banks. These key individuals were selected as the target population of the study because the authors sought to study the management’s perception of CSR and business confidence. From the data obtained from the survey, it has been tested that educational CSR actions in Peruvian banks directly influences the perception of business confidence. Secondly, this relationship is partially mediated by the effect of CSR educational actions on corporate reputation.

    Percepción sobre el desarrollo sostenible de las MYPE en el Perú
    (Fundación Getulio Vargas, Escuela de Administración de Empresas de São Paulo, 2013-06-04) Hernani Merino, Martín Nelson; Hamann Pastorino, Antonieta
    This article assesses the perception of undergraduate students about social responsibility activities implemented by micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Peru. This article seeks to contribute to a better understanding on how to implement programs about social responsibility in universities. To achieve this objective, a scale was built and applied to 506 college students at five universities. From the results of the study, in general terms, it can be concluded that college students have a low perception about activities of social responsibility applied by the MSES. This conclusion highlights the importance of introducing courses of social responsibility on the curricula of universities to enrich the education and new research on this topic. In consequence, it is recognized the need for an interdisciplinary approach at the theoretical level and an intradisciplinary approach at the practice level. This may ensure the creation and application of new knowledge about social responsibility towards sustainable development.

    (Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado, 2020-01-05) Lizarzaburu Bolaños, Edmundo; Del Brio, Jesús
    Purpose – This paper tests the influence of employees’ involvement in CSR activities on managers’ perceptions regarding business confidence. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative methodology was used to contrast the hypotheses presented in this paper. The empirical research began in March 2016. In April 2016, a questionnaire was sent by email to the 1,745 managers of the multiple banks with a message explaining the relevance of the research. The data gathering process finished in July 2016. Findings – The causal model proved the influence of the perception of employees’ involvement in the CSR actions of Peruvian banks in terms of improving the perception of business confidence by managers. The relationship found was not statistically significant at a level of p<0.05. Therefore, the assessment of the involvement of workers in CSR in Peruvian banks does not significantly influence business confidence. Originality/value – The main contribution of this paper is that it empirically analyzes how business confidence is perceived by managers and how it is influenced by perceptions of employees’ involvement in CSR actions in a context barely investigated: an emerging country.

    Effects of CSR and CR on business confidence in an emerging country
    (MDPI, 2020-06-26) Del Brio, Jesús; Lizarzaburu Bolaños, Edmundo
    Corporate social responsibility has been one of the main pillars of development for companies in developed countries and studies are being conducted for developed countries and the productive sector of the economy. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate reputation (CR), and business confidence in the context of the banking sector in an emerging country (Peru). To test the hypotheses presented in this paper, we sent a survey to 1745 banking executive officers of the branch offices in Peru. These key individuals were selected as the target population of the study because the authors sought to study the management’s perception of CSR and business confidence. From the data obtained from the survey, it has been determined that the strategic consideration of CSR in Peruvian banks directly influences the perception of business confidence. Secondly, it has been demonstrated that the strategic consideration of CSR in Peruvian banks positively influences corporate reputation and, finally, the perception of the importance of the corporate reputation of Peruvian banks and significantly influences the perception of business confidence by the managers. The main contribution of this paper is that it analyzes empirically how business confidence is perceived by managers, who are the main agents involved in implementing CSR actions, based on their opinion of the strategic consideration of CSR and the perception of CR in a context barely investigated, an emerging country.

    CSR Actions in companies and perception of their reputation by managers: analysis in the rural area of an emerging country in the banking sector
    (MDPI, 2018-03-22) Del Brio, Jesús Ángel; Lizarzaburu Bolaños, Edmundo
    This paper tests, from a managerial point of view, the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) actions directed towards health and environmental matters over the perception of a company’s reputation. The literature review suggests an absence of this kind of study focused on the banking sector of developing countries. CSR activities oriented to health and subsistence in the rural areas of emerging countries are proved to hold a positive influence on the perception of managers of the banking sector of corporate reputation. On the other hand, it has not been possible to validate whether CSR activities oriented to environmental issues (or infrastructure) in rural areas will positively influence the perception of Peruvian banking sector managers of corporate reputation. The outcomes mentioned seem plausible due to health and subsistence being undoubtedly the most valued factors among people living in rural areas, where there are the most development deficiencies. This work contributes by empirically analyzing a relationship barely addressed in the field of business administration: the influence of CSR and corporate reputation. Furthermore, the authors take the analysis to a context unexplored by previous researchers, applying the concepts to the banking sector of an emerging country.
