| Abstract: | In this article, described is a survey among Finnish business students in order to find answers to the questions as follows: How do business students define a well-run company? What are their attitudes on the responsibilities of business in society? Do the attitudes of women students differ from those of men? What is the influence of business education on these attitudes? Based on a sample of more than 200 students of a master's degree in business studies at two Finnish universities, it is shown that, as a whole, students value the stakeholder model of the company more than the shareholder model. However, there are differences of attitudes by gender. Business school education was found to shape women and men students' attitudes in two ways. Furthermore, it is suggested that the socio-cultural context can make a difference in how corporate social responsibility (CSR) is perceived. |
