Abstract

The paper identifies positive and educational effects of implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) through the project “Re.think”, as a result of collaboration between Slovenian academic institution, Faculty of Economics University of Ljubljana, and international mobile company Si.mobil. CSR has gained importance throughout the last decades in both, academic community as well as among practitioners in business environment. The paper provides the appropriate combination of relevant factors, methods and techniques for greater awareness of CSR. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used in order to triangulate the findings of the research. Through the principal axis factoring and multiple regression techniques seven identified factors have been interpreted as a group of indicators fostering the development of CSR in Slovenia. The results indicate that the implementation of CSR activities is strengthening the creation of socially responsible organizational reputation.
