Stiahnuť súbor: Implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility CSR in the Visegrad Region_ DATABASE Result of Project No_22220150.xlsx

The direct output of project no 22220150 is the DATABASE which includes outcomes of the questionnaire survey conducted in monitored countries containing sorting questions, questions regarding implementation
of CSR in the company and reporting, questions regarding the realization of selected CSR activities (environmental, social, economic), and questions regarding activities connect with the COVID-19 pandemic and conflict in Ukraine (refugee crisis).


The database represents a culmination of data collected through a questionnaire survey conducted among businesses from the Visegrád Group countries (Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic), registered within the commercial registers of one of the examined countries.

The collected data has been processed, anonymized, and structured for analytical purposes. The variables are alphabetically arranged. Not all queried columns are present in the database due to some companies opting not to provide certain information, primarily relating to the quantification of financial expenditures. The resulting database has been formatted for further mathematical and statistical analysis. Regarding the questionnaire construction, it incorporated a combination of Likert scales and multiple-choice options, structured methodically based on previous research and expert input. The data collection phase occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, involving a stratified randomized selection of business entities. The aim was to ensure a balanced sample, consisting of 100 companies per country, across various enterprise sizes: 250 employees and above, 50-249 employees, and 0-49 employees.

https://globalizacia.com/

The Globalization Scientific Conference, renowned for its excellence in the Central European region, played host to a diverse array of professionals and researchers, both active and passive participants. The event served as a platform for the dissemination of project outcomes, with a particular focus on corporate social responsibility in the Visegrad Region, emphasizing Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Poland. The project representative, Jana Kozáková, played a pivotal role in this endeavor.

At the "Green conference room," Jana Kozáková presented a meticulously prepared scientific paper titled, "Corporate Social Responsibility in Times of Crisis: A Comparative Analysis of Social Public Assistance in the Visegrad Region, with Focus on Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Poland." This comprehensive paper delved into the project's findings and insights, offering a comparative analysis that shed light on social public assistance in the Visegrad Region. During the presentation, Jana Kozáková engaged actively with fellow scientists, addressing their questions and feedback. These interactions proved invaluable in refining project outcomes and enhancing their quality.

The conference catered to a diverse audience, comprising both professional and non-professional individuals. This included active participants involved in article presentations, passive participants, and members of the general public interested in the conference proceedings. The organizing committee diligently promoted the event through the official conference website (https://globalizacia.com/), where attendees could access all pertinent information and updates. Additionally, the committee reached out to scientists in the field directly via email, ensuring a wide reach and participation. 

The project's fund and outcomes were officially presented during Session 2, which was held in the Green meeting room from 16:00-18:00.

While Jana Kozáková was the official representative for project promotion and active participation, other team members, including Erik Janšto and Renata Skýpalová, attended the event as well, albeit with contributions outside the project's scope.

Beyond project promotion, the conference provided a fertile ground for networking and establishing connections with potential new partners. Team members, including Erik Janšto and Renata Skýpalová, actively engaged in such activities. Notably, these interactions aimed to foster collaboration opportunities. Moreover, the Vice-dean for Research and Science of the Faculty of Economics and Management SUA, Radovan Savov, played a crucial role in promoting the project and facilitating connections with scientists from other European universities. His involvement furthered the project's reach and potential for future collaborations.

In summary, the Globalization Scientific Conference was a resounding success, serving as a platform for knowledge dissemination, networking, and collaboration.
