Prof. Dr. Katharina Bluhm has been working for many years on the transformation in post-socialist space from a sociological and institutional perspective. The transfer of practices and standards played a key role in her habilitation on the labor policy of German companies in Poland and the Czech Republic. Since 2007, she has been working intensively on the change in the role definition of companies and the perception of corporate responsibility. Since that time she is also researching CSR. As part of the SFB 580, she led a project on business elites in Germany, Poland and Hungary that focused on the concept of responsibility of top managers, who were associated with work relationships, ownership structures and corporate CSR practices. She also works about the new Russian conservatives, for whom corporate citizenship is a central issue.
