Summary

Introduction

Corporate social responsibility comes in many different shapes and sizes which is demonstrated by many authors (Carroll, 1979; Búciová, 2008; Dahlsrud, 2008; Mutz, 2008; Gjølberg, 2009; Kuldová, 2010; Lakin and Scheubel, 2010; Remišová, 2011; Sapkauskiene and Leitoniene, 2014; Figurska, 2014; Tvaronavičienė, 2014; Raudeliūnienė, Tvaronavičienė, Dzemyda and Sepehri, 2014; Grubicka and Matuska, 2015; Baronienė and Žirgutis, 2016). A critical review is presented in (Jankalová and Jankal, 2016) who found that "The CSR concept can be found in The EFQM Excellence Model, but it lacks activities especially in the environmental and voluntariness items", and in (Kok, Wiele, McKenna and Brown, 2001) who argued that "ethics and social responsibility are not incorporated in the excellence model which have been developed the European Quality Award. A critical review is presented in (Jankalová and Jankal, 2016) who found that "The CSR concept can be found in The Malcolm Baldrige Model for Performance Excellence, but it lacks activities especially in the environmental and voluntariness items", and in (Kok, Wiele, McKenna and Brown, 2001) who argued that "ethics and social responsibility are not incorporated in the excellence model which have been developed for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA). The model does not stimulate or demand a position that is more in line with change ethics and proactive change in relation to social responsibility"
