Location: CRRC-Azerbaijan, Khazar University, 122 Bashir Safaroglu Street, Baku

 

Overview:     What is the extent of small and medium enterprise (SME) social responsibility in Azerbaijan? Do they drive the country’s modernization and economic development or prefer to side with more traditional ways of doing business? These and other important issues are studied in the in-depth survey conducted by the author. Based on the survey of the Azerbaijani SME, the research demonstrates that the local entrepreneurs demonstrate low rates of social participation.
