The research program, which has been in progress for two years, interprets social marketing as being a form of stakeholder management shaping behaviours acting along value communities. An empirical representative questionnaire inquiry is introduced that assesses sensitivity, undertaking activities and feeling of responsibility of Hungarian citizens towards social problems. This study also analyses the connections between the importance of values, problem-relatedness, individual responsibility, information gathering Classification-JEL: M30, M38 Keywords: Social problem identification, value community, stakeholder management, integrated social marketing, theory of reasoned-action, theory of planned-behaviour Pages: 59-67 Number: 01 Volume: 8 Year: 2012 File-URL: http://tmp.gtk.uni-miskolc.hu/volumes/2012/01/TMP_2012_01_09_Piskoti_Istvan.pdf File-Format: application/pdf Handle: RePEc:mic:tmpjrn:v:8:y:2012:i:01:p:59-67
