| Abstract: | This paper analyses the findings from a UK study of socially responsible SMEs. Key areas of investigation were CSR terminology, the impact of managerial values, the nature of SME activities, motivation for and benefits from engaging in CSR, and the challenges faced. The results suggest that SMEs prefer to learn through networking and from their peers, which indicates a possible avenue for greater SME engagement in CSR. This would require strong leadership from individuals such as highly motivated owner-managers and from exemplary companies as a whole. |
