Abstract

The research has been conducted to gain insight and understanding of how downtown culture is perceived by college students. The data collected were from students at a small university in a small town of fewer than 50,000 people. Of the 120 responses, 30% came from students who were originally from city, 26% came from students from somewhere else in the state, 22% came from students that were originally from somewhere else in the country besides the state, and 17% are from international students. The research employed a 28-question survey based on personal opinion of downtown culture and how involved students are there in the said culture. The results indicate that it would be very beneficial if downtown area held more events that are open to the whole community. It is especially important to hold events that include our diverse population of people who are from out of state or from a country abroad that are similar to military appreciation events. The future studies may investigate community/university student partnerships through interdisciplinary outreach and participation as well as service-learning. The universities can play a significant role as innovation and research hubs, bringing together public, commercial, and non-profit institutions.

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility commonly known as CSR has been defined by many world organizations and at present its definition has been practiced and adopted by corporations based on individual’s belief and understanding. Every corporation has its own definition of CSR and what is deemed CSR has always been philanthropy, cause-related marketing, green, community outreach or piecemeal solution. This paper will examine the understanding of CSR between the current and future corporate leaders and to analyze the challenges of its applications and implications in Malaysia. Through interviews and surveys, we analyze how CSR is perceived and how the dynamics are influenced by the interest of a corporation itself. In this paper we hope to highlight that the future of CSR is in the hands of the younger generation as they take on the role of corporate leaders. The corporate leaders of today’s economy will have a distinctive role in accompanying the younger generation into the arena of CSR to establish a foundation for the future of CSR in Malaysia that will take shape as a culture and identity. In conclusion, based on the Malaysian understanding of CSR, the authors  suggest CSR approaches that will respond to the needs of communities in emerging economies.
