Социальная ответственность бизнеса в контексте теории стейкхолдеров: взгляд российских исследователей
The aim of the study is to consider the concept of social responsibility of business (further - SRB) from the perspective of the theory of stakeholders.
The methodological base of the study is the theory of stakeholders developed by R.E. Freeman, as well as the concepts of social responsibility of business considered by modern researches in relation to stakeholders («corporate egoism», «corporate altruism», «reasonable egoism»). The main method of the empirical research is a multivariate content analysis of 200 Russian publications on the issues of SRB for the period from 2013 to 2018.
The results of the study demonstrate that the state and society are identified as key stakeholders in the aspect of social responsibility of business by Russian researchers, and the contradictory nature of relations with them in the context of SRB is noted. It is concluded that despite the declared significance of all those concerned parties, in Russian realities organizations have the opportunity to satisfy the interests predominantly of key financial stakeholders.
The prospect of the study consists in a comprehensive understanding of the discourse around the issues of social responsibility of business in the circles of modern Russian researchers, including not only the aspect of stakeholders, but also such areas in the study of the SRB as the conceptual framework, assessment of foreign experience, standardization and reporting, etc.
