Egri</strong> of the Faculty of B., Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, and 23 representants of various international universities are now breaking the silence by announcing the results of a study called "<strong>Managerial perspectives on Corporate Environmental Responsibility and Social Responsibilities in 22 countries</strong>". <br /> <br />Participants in this study were 5,539 managers and professionals from 22 culturally, economically, and geographically diverse countries who responded to a mail survey. <br /> <br />Amongst the most important<strong> results of the study</strong> are: <br /><ol><li>The economic development level in a country and the importance of corporate <strong>environmental</strong> responsibilities were <strong>not</strong> significantly related.</li><li>The economic development level in a country and the relative importance of corporate social responsibilities <strong>were</strong> significantly related: managers from countries with a high GDP are more conducive to CSR than those from countries with a relatively low GDP.</li></ol><p>Carolyn Egri can be contacted via Tel: 604-291-3456 or <a href="mailto:egri@sfu.ca">egri@sfu.ca</a></p> <br />MLOGSnoreply@blogger.com
