This paper argues for the link between two concepts – corporate social responsibility and corporate reputation both on theoretical and empirical level. It suggests that corporate social responsibility and reputation are two closely related concepts strongly influenced by institutional environment and other factors. In the empirical part, the research is based on the secondary data derived from Ugled research study (2006-2009). It investigates how important is corporate social responsibility for Slovenian public as a reputational dimension and how its importance changes in time.

The paper adresses the question of how the complexity of practical occupational knowledge is linked to and reflected in the vertical grading of educational achievements. The ‘Sociology of Professional Groups’ theory clearly differentiates between practical tacit knowledge and explicit formal knowledge, which is systemised in educational programmes. It presumes that those occupations whose practical work is more demanding and complex, such as doctors or lawyers, call for university programmes, while the educational programmes of other occupations appropriately remain at lower levels.

This paper explores work flexibility and its relevance to internal marketing. Friendly forms of work flexibility are critical to an improved understanding of the role internal marketing should have to achieve better service quality performance. This exploratory study is based on a sample of private-sector organisations provided by the CRANET survey. The results show the divergence in industry business patterns in the use of friendly and unfriendly flexible work arrangements.

The article deals with labour market segmentation processes in Slovenia. It discusses interdisciplinary controversies on the subject matter and introduces a few comparative insights. In a stylised manner, the links between economic performance, the labour market and ecological problems of a country are defined and empirically validated with the help of rough indicators for the EU-27 countries. Finally, a version of dual labour market segmentation of the Slovenian labour market is presented with an explanation of its recent re-emergence, character and (low) developmental options.
