Description
Summary:The reason most frequently adduced by SMEs to avoid the implementation of CSR programs is their shortage of material resources. In this paper we propose the possibility that biotech SMEs supply the RSC with something they've got in abundance, that is, knowledge. Popular science thus becomes the focus of these programs, an affordable resource that can benefit them, and not only in reputation. Our study focuses on 32 SMEs settled in four Technology Parks in Andalusia. / La razón que con mayor asiduidad esgrimen las pymes para esquivar la implantación de programas de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa es la escasez de recursos. Lo que proponemos en este trabajo es la opción de abastecerlos con lo que algunas poseen en abundancia, conocimiento. La divulgación se convierte así en el eje de esos programas, un recurso asequible del que pueden obtener beneficios, no sólo en forma de reputación. Este estudio se centra en las 32 pymes biotecnológicas asentadas en cuatro parques tecnológicos andaluces.
