Book Description
En los últimos años, la Responsabilidad Social ha ido evolucionando hasta llegar a ser una pieza clave en el mundo empresarial, debido a una mayor conciencia por parte de la sociedad. Hoy en día, las empresas ya no pueden basarse sólo en la búsqueda de su propio beneficio, sino que deben realizar estrategias socialmente responsables, es decir,actuaciones en los ámbitos social, económico y medioambiental, para así poder ser competitivas en el contexto actual. Pero este aumento del interés en la Responsabilidad Social ha supuesto que deje de ser exigida exclusivamente a las empresas para extenderse a las Administraciones Públicas en general y a las universidades en particular. Ahora bien, hay diferencias significativas en la aplicación de la Responsabilidad Social en las empresas y universidades. En este trabajo, tras aclarar qué se entiende por Responsabilidad Social Universitaria,se analiza por qué la Universidaddebe ser socialmente responsable, de qué forma y cómo debe comunicar estas acciones a sus stakeholders, y se revisan los escasos indicadores existentes para su evaluación en el ámbito de las instituciones de Educación Superior. Tras efectuar dicha revisión, finalmente realiza una propuesta propia para medir la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, que posteriormente se aplica para realizar una comparativa entre el compromiso social de la Universidad de León y el de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. El objetivo es obtener una primera aproximación a la situación relativa de nuestra universidaden materia de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, dado que la Universidad de Santiago es la pionera a este respecto en el Sistema Universitario Español. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, Stakeholders, Sociedad, Impactos de la Universidad, Evaluación de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria.

Book Description
Las relaciones con los grupos de interés son un factor fundamental para el éxito empresarial, lo que ha convertido a la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) en un recurso intangible de enorme trascendencia para cualquier tipo de organización. Es por eso que las empresas más reputadas del mundo están incorporado el concepto de RSE en su cultura organizacional. Pero, ¿es la Universidad un entorno apropiado para el desarrollo de la Responsabilidad Social?, ¿es posible cuantificar el compromiso de las universidades con la sociedad? En este último caso, ¿qué indicadores e instrumentos de medición podrían ser planteados para evaluar el impacto de los programas de Responsabilidad Social en las universidades? Encontrar una respuesta a estas cuestiones constituye el objeto general del presente trabajo. Para alcanzarlo, primero se efectuará una revisión de la literatura existente sobre la RSC, para luego delimitar teóricamente el concepto de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) y, finalmente, proponer y aplicar un instrumento para su evaluación. Específicamente, sobre la base teórica de la gestión de impactos, el presente estudio propone un modelo de evaluación de la RSU que va a considerar seis dimensiones -Gestión, Docencia, Investigación, Vinculación Social, Gestión Medioambiental y Comunicación y Transparencia-, definiendo tres indicadores para cada una de estas dimensiones, a fin de realizar una primera aproximación al compromiso adquirido actualmente con la RSU por las universidades públicas de Castilla y León. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU), Stakeholders, Evaluación.

Book Description
This book presents the latest knowledge on the still under-researched field of academic tourism, which over the past decade has gained in importance at local and national economic levels as a result of increasing international mobility of students and academic staff in higher education. A wide range of themes are explored from various perspectives, with the focus on Europe. Particular attention is paid to academic tourism demand, expenditure, and economic impact; the relationships between academic tourism and local and regional development, sustainable development, and environmental sustainability; and the importance of academic tourism for the internationalization of higher education and international cooperation and development. Further topics to be considered include the significance of academic tourism for the dynamics of tourism destinations and insights from experimental tourism research. In addition to theoretical chapters and state of the art reviews, readers will find insightful empirical and case studies. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and practitioners, including policy makers.
