Social responsibility as management strategy of the university

Abstract

Previous attempts to systematize the principles of social responsibility of Polish universities were based on corporate systems. However, the implementation of corporate rules in the university space is unjustified from the point of view of the different goals that the university has to those towards which the business is pursuing. Looking at the business sector, where the concept of social responsibility is much more evolving, it turns out that strategic implementation is based on the strategies of the organization. Strategic principles of corporate social responsibility in the case of business entities have arisen as a result of assigning them to specific tasks undertaken by the enterprise. The same strategy for setting the rules of responsibility should be adopted by universities. The aim of this study is to try to set standards for managing the university’s social responsibility.
