This\nresearch investigates developments of CSR in the UAE revealing different levels\nof awareness, engagement, and implementation. The study consists of data\nanalysed from 29 interviews with CSR representatives of UAE-based organisations\nfrom 2011 to 2016, and a case study of a strategic youth engagement CSR\nprogramme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The varying degrees of\nsophistication and programmification of CSR activities in the UAE reveals a\nmore developed stage of maturity than is implied in the literature. The use of project\nmanagement to organise, implement, align and monitor CSR activity provides\nknowledge relevant to the UAE but also other countries. The study shows\norganisations with project management skills and governmental links are in a better\nposition and under more pressure to undertake strategic CSR activity that is\nsustainable. Organisations linked to governmental\norganisations or leadership seem more aligned to national goals and so are more\ninfluenced to undertake strategic CSR activity that will contribute to these\ngoals. CSR activity that is strategic seems to be projectised to achieve these\ngoals as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research addresses a lack of knowledge on developments of CSR in the UAE, including the use of project management as a means to implement strategic CSR activity. Strategic CSR itself has not been associated with the region before, however the examination of CSR projects and programmes in the UAE has revealed that there are cases of CSR being strategically managed to achieve and contribute to organisational and not only social goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2> \u0645\u064a\u0631\u0647 \u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0625\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0647\u064a\u0645 \u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u064a\u0633\u0647 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0627\u0645\u0639\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u064a\u0637\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u062f\u0628\u064a &#8211; 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an increasingly influential concept, which is usually claimed to be implemented more in the West than in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and MENA region, where it is portrayed as less developed and philanthropic.
