  CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ASPECTS WITHIN THE PUBLICISED CORPORATE CULTURE OF BULGARIAN COMPANIES

  In recent years, the notion that business has a broad responsibility to society as a whole has gained significant momentum and is reflected in various academic theories, business practices and regulations.

In recent years, the notion that business has a broad responsibility to society as a whole has gained significant momentum and is reflected in various academic theories, business practices and regulations. The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been interwoven with various academic fields, including strategic management and corporate culture. In order to establish a reputation as a socially responsible business entity, it is necessary for companies to adequately disclose CSR activities and events in the virtual space. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to examine the scope of CSR disclosure on the Internet by organisations from different sectors of the Bulgarian economy and its role in the portfolio of publicised corporate culture. The research methods used to achieve this aim include establishing relative values, comparative analysis and content analysis. The findings of the study demonstrate that there is an ambiguous attitude towards CSR in the companies surveyed, as in certain sectors it has a high degree of disclosure and is leading in rank, while in others it is present on the web pages of a small number of companies and has a rather peripheral role among the other elements in the portfolio of publicised corporate culture. To improve the communication effectiveness of the CSR component within the publicised corporate culture, it is essential that the information, initiatives, and priorities disclosed on the company web page are relevant and consistent with the fundamental aspects of the culture, specifically the mission, vision and values/principles.

  RESEARCH OF SOME FACTORS AFFECTING DISCRIMINATION IN THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON CONFLICT SITUATIONS

  The study of discrimination in organizations remains significant. Discrimination leads to various processes linked to conflict situations.

Discrimination leads to various processes linked to conflict situations. In many instances, discrimination stems from the leader's management style. It is also important to consider that any form of discrimination in an organization that causes conflict situations affects the psycho-emotional state of employees, negatively affects their health and personal lives, and ultimately disrupts the work-life balance. The mentioned condition directly affects employee performance. We identified the factors that created significant problems in the relationship between leaders and followers in Georgian organizations. The study was conducted in the Ministry of Economy and its subordinate structural units. Data were collected through an anonymous questionnaire. The developed questionnaire included 64 questions. 720 respondents participated in the survey. Hypotheses were developed and tested using the SPSS statistical package during the research process. Based on the data analysis, important recommendations were developed.

  ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF AI ADOPTION IN SMEs WITHIN EMERGING MARKETS

This paper examines the ethical considerations and societal implications of AI adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets. Drawing on Stakeholder Theory, Diffusion of Innovation, and the Technology-Organization-Environment framework, it proposes a comprehensive conceptual model that places ethical principles, fairness, accountability, and inclusivity at its core. The discussion highlights the complex interplay of technological, organizational and societal dimensions, illustrating how AI can enhance competitiveness while potentially exacerbating inequalities and raising privacy, bias and transparency concerns. By integrating ethical and societal factors into a single framework, this study addresses a critical gap in current research, offering guidance for SME leaders, policymakers and researchers. The propositions suggest that ethical leadership fosters stakeholder trust, and that inclusive policies are essential to prevent AI-driven inequalities. This framework can serve as a roadmap for responsible AI adoption, informing capacity-building initiatives, regulatory guidance and future empirical studies. Ultimately, the paper invites further research to validate and refine its concepts and to explore cross-industry and cross-regional variations, ensuring that AI’s benefits are realized while mitigating its ethical and societal risks.
