Universidad de Zaragoza Corporate Social Responsibility as a Strategic Opportunity for Small Firms during Economic Crises 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The aim of this study is to analyze if there is a direct causal relationship between small firms’ orientation toward corporate social responsibility and their competitive success, mediated by innovation and performance. A structural equation model has been applied to a sample of 758 small Spanish firms. The results indicate that, in times of economic crisis, socially responsible strategies are a determining factor in firms’ competitiveness. Pragmatic advice for practitioners derives from research results, considering that social responsibility represents an opportunity for small firms in the complex and turbulent time. The findings encourage small firms to manage operations responsibly as a guarantee of market success. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/ECO2011-26171 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.12 2018 MANAGEMENT 66 / 217 = 0.304 2018 Q2 T1 1.84 2018 Business, Management and Accounting (miscellaneous) 2018 Q1 Strategy and Management 2018 Q1 Management of Technology and Innovation 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gallardo-Vázquez, D.
