Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the benefits for small and medium-sized businesses from the introduction of a social responsibility system. Currently, an increasing number of companies are striving to be socially responsible, responding to the challenges of our time, as society expects help in solving social problems, protection and support of citizens not only from the state, but also from business. A good example was the activity of companies within the framework of the SR during the COVID-19 pandemic, when businesses had to adapt to the situation, take responsibility not only for themselves, but also to support their stakeholders. At the same time, the question of why it is useful for small businesses to apply the concept of SR in their activities becomes important. This determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to reveal the advantages of implementing a social responsibility system for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve several tasks: to clarify the concept of “social responsibility” in relation to the activities of small and medium-sized businesses; to conduct a SWOT analysis with SMEs as opposed to CSR; to identify possible benefits from the implementation of the concept. The methodology of this study were a comparative analysis; a method for analysing and synthesizing information about the social responsibility system; a survey among representatives of SMEs. As a result of the study, the features of the implementation of social responsibility by small and medium-sized businesses were identified. In the article, the author reveals the advantages of entrepreneurs from the introduction of social responsibility, designates the rating of their importance for business based on the survey. Special attention is paid to successful cases among SMEs in the implementation of SR. The author demonstrates that the application of social responsibility is a win-win strategy, both for the company and for society.
中小企业社会责任体系的应用特点
本文致力于研究引入社会责任制度对中小企业的好处。目前,越来越多的公司正在努力承担社会责任,以应对我们这个时代的挑战,因为社会期望帮助解决社会问题,保护和支持公民不仅来自国家,而且来自企业。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,企业在社会责任框架内的活动就是一个很好的例子,当时企业必须适应形势,不仅为自己承担责任,还为其利益相关者提供支持。与此同时,为什么在小企业的活动中应用社会责任的概念是有用的问题变得重要。这决定了本研究的相关性。本研究的目的是揭示实施社会责任制度对中小企业发展的好处。为实现这一目标,有必要解决以下几个问题:明确与中小企业活动有关的“社会责任”概念;与企业社会责任相比,对中小企业进行SWOT分析;确定实施这一概念可能带来的好处。本研究采用比较分析法;社会责任体系信息分析与综合方法对中小企业代表的调查。通过研究,确定了中小企业履行社会责任的特点。在文章中,作者从社会责任的引入揭示了企业家的优势,并在调查的基础上指定了企业家对企业的重要性等级。本文特别关注了中小企业实施社会责任的成功案例。作者论证了社会责任的实施对企业和社会都是一个双赢的战略。
