Title: Challenges in the CSR-Competitiveness Relationship Based on the Literature

Abstract: The paper examines why there is no consistent answer in either the domestic or the
international literature on the relationship between corporate social responsibility
and competitiveness and the reasons behind this. The topic has been present in the
international literature since the 1970s and has come to the fore in Hungary in the
last 15 years. There are many different answers concerning the type of relationship
between the two concepts, for a variety of reasons. Drawing on previous research,
the paper presents a uniform system, details the causes identified and provides
a theoretical framework for empirical research to ensure a complex approach and
interpretation.
