The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is broadly defined as the overall contribution of a business to sustainable development and should therefore be equally valid for large and small enterprises. But discussion of CSR tends to focus only on the largest companies. Small- and medium-sized enterprises are often overlooked. yet small and medium-sized enterprises are the predominant form of enterprise in the European Union. Small businesses are typically not less responsible than large enterprises. They may not know and use the term "CSR", but their close relations with employees, the local community, and business partners often mean they have a naturally responsible approach to business. This Paper seeks to examine the good CSR practices of some Hungarian micro-enterprises. Keywords: CSR, micro-enterprises, sustainable development

The study examines the impact of leadership roles and success on family and friendship relationships between men and women. The literature on this topic typically focuses on the analysis of success and failure, but the impact of family and friendships on leadership success is a less published area. The questionnaire data collection (n = 437) was conducted among women and men using a snowball method, with separate questionnaires. The questionnaire data were analysed using ANOVA test and Chi-square test. Research findings suggest that female and male leaders differ in their perceptions of the impact of their own successful leadership roles. Male leaders perceived personal skills, unique ideas, reputation and spousal support as determinants of successful leadership, whereas female respondents did not perceive these factors as being important. More than half of men (51.8%) agreed with the statement that their leadership successes have led them to make new friends instead of old ones. This compares with only 4% of women. Almost half of female leaders (47.1%) believe that they have kept their old friends. Less than half (45.1%) of women feel that leadership has had a positive or negative impact on family and relationships.
