Abstract

In this paper a study has been carried out on the perceptions and attitudes of the students from a Spanish and an Argentine university, on social enterprise responsibility. The methodology used was a qualitative approach through the focus group technique, which was attended by undergraduate business administration students from the two different university contexts. This technique allowed deepen to perceptions of future business leaders about the social responsibility of the enterprises as from the content and practices they have received and experienced in their process of university education. The results show that future professionals are positive about the importance of social, enterprise and university responsibility and, while recognizing the efforts of their universities in this line, it also highlight the need for improvements, not only in the study plans in the implementation in the daily life of the university but even from a greater involvement of all community staff.
