The role of the consulting practice in CSR proliferation during the economic downturn
During the last few years, there has been a substantial shift of the companies towards Corporate Social Responsibility. Consulting has been an important actor of CSR proliferation, adding new perspectives to the spread of ideas and changes of institutional environments. However, the latest international economic crisis has put questions concerning the future of CSR.
Trying to identify the connection of CSR services offered by the consulting companies and the existing economic crisis, a study was performed based on information acquired by four international consulting firms. The study recognised the CSR services developed by the firms, connected them with traditional consulting services and analysed their relevance in selected business sectors, taking into account the impact of the financial crisis in these sectors. The results of the study are discussed in order to draw conclusions about the role of consulting in CSR proliferation during the economic downturn.
