| Tiivistelmä: | The paper examines the attitudes of Russian executives towards corporate social responsibility (hereafter as: CSR). The empirical study bases on an original survey of executive managers of 129 medium and large industrial enterprises in all regions of Russia. Designing of the questionnaire utilized some important conclusions made by theorists who have analysed the development of CSR in mature capitalist economies. The objective was to investigate whether the reaction by Russian managers would be in line with expectations grounded in western theoretical constructs, particularly the concept of business legitimacy. This study presents evidence of a discrepancy between anticipated outcomes based on the studies, reflecting western practices, and actual attitudes that Russian managers showed. Economic, social and political factors are considered as an explanation of these results. |
