This book was released on 2005 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los textos que han sido recogidos en esta obra constituyen una valiosa aportación al debate sobre la Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas (RSE). En ellos se refleja la rica pluralidad de voces y posiciones que suscitan los nuevos valores de responsabilidad, tanto en el ámbito del pensamiento y la investigación académica, como en el de las políticas públicas, las organizaciones empresariales y sindicales y de los propios dirigentes de las empresas. Sin embargo esta pluralidad de lecturas y de posiciones es compatible con dos tipos de acuerdos esenciales. El primero es la aceptación de la necesidad de un enfoque más responsable de la gestión, firmemente comprometido con el cuidado del impacto económico, social y ambiental de las decisiones y actividades empresariales. El segundo se refiere al desarrollo de una nueva visión de la empresa, como una institución mucho más abierta a otras necesidades, intereses y expectativas diferentes a las de los propios gestores y accionistas, lo que exige la búsqueda de un equilibrio más equitativo entre los distintos grupos participantes en la actividad económica (stakeholders) Tomás G. Perdiguero es profesor titular de Comunicación Audiovisual y Publicidad en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. Ha participado activamente en el debate europeo sobre la Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas. Entre sus principales contribuciones al desarrollo de la investigación en España sobre la RSE debe destacarse el libro La responsabilidad social de las empresas en un mundo global, finalista del Premio Anagrama de Ensayo en 2003. Es miembro del Grup d'Investigació sobre la RSE de la Universitat de València.

Download or read book Responsabilidad Social Empresarial written by Erico Wulf Betancourt and published by Editorial Universidad de La Serena. This book was released on 2018 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) ha sido una preocupación importante desde mediados del siglo pasado, con una constante ampliación y extensión de su alcance desde el ámbito interno de la empresa, hacia su entorno externo. En su origen, en la década del 20, enfatizaba un principio que no ha perdido vigencia en la actualidad y que indudablemente se ha hecho más relevante, sino tal vez -desde la perspectiva ética- más urgente, a saber: si la empresa utiliza recursos privados y públicos, éstos deben utilizarse de manera que los beneficios que generen no afecten negativamente, sino que favorezcan el bienestar de la sociedad. Este libro delimita el ámbito de aplicación de la RSE, asumiendo las restricciones legales, sociales, económicas, institucionales y de gestión estratégica, aunque con un rol central de los principios y valores de corporativos, que deben ser definidos por los máximos niveles directivos de una organización. Toma en cuenta, además, el amplio consenso que existe respecto de que una de las competencias fundamentales de las organizaciones modernas, es su capacidad de construir relaciones estables y de mutua confianza con su entorno interno y externo, como condición previa para el logro de objetivos sostenibles.
Download or read book Social Enterprise in Latin America written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge Studies in Social Enterprise & Social Innovation. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the absence of a widely accepted and common definition of social enterprise (SE), a large research project, the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project, was carried out over a five-year period; it involved more than 200 researchers from 55 countries and relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the SE phenomenon. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, thus resulting in an analysis encompassing a wide diversity of social enterprises, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major SE models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. These SE models reveal or confirm an overall trend towards new ways of sharing the responsibility for the common good in today's economies and societies. We tend to consider as good news the fact that social enterprises actually stem from all parts of the economy. Indeed, societies are facing many complex challenges at all levels, from the local to the global level. The diversity and internal variety of SE models are a sign of a broadly shared willingness to develop appropriate although sometimes embryonic--responses to these challenges, on the basis of innovative economic/business models driven by a social mission. In spite of their weaknesses, social enterprises may be seen as advocates for and vehicles of the general interest across the whole economy. Of course, the debate about privatisation, deregulation and globalised market competition--all factors that may hinder efforts in the search for the common good-has to be addressed as well. The second of a series of four ICSEM books, Social Enterprise in Latin America will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and other categories of people who want to acquire a broad understanding of the phenomena of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship as they emerge and develop across the world.

Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

Download or read book Resonant Violence written by Kerry Whigham and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Holocaust in Europe to the military dictatorships of Latin America to the enduring violence of settler colonialism around the world, genocide has been a defining experience of far too many societies. In many cases, the damaging legacies of genocide lead to continued violence and social divisions for decades. In others, however, creative responses to this identity-based violence emerge from the grassroots, contributing to widespread social and political transformation. Resonant Violence explores both the enduring impacts of genocidal violence and the varied ways in which states and grassroots collectives respond to and transform this violence through memory practices and grassroots activism. By calling upon lessons from Germany, Poland, Argentina, and the Indigenous United States, Resonant Violence demonstrates how ordinary individuals come together to engage with a violent past to pave the way for a less violent future.

Download or read book Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship written by Jörg Andriof and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of disparate but interconnected forces such as deregulation and globalization, rapid advances in communications technology and the rise in the power of the consumer and civil society have now combined to bring corporate responsibility to prominence in many corporate boardrooms. In this information age, the ramifications of not addressing best practice in environment, workplace, marketplace and community could range from bad press coverage to complete market exclusion. These are perilous times for the social construct of modern capitalism.In today's society successful companies will increasingly be those that recognize that they have responsibilities to a range of stakeholders that go beyond compliance with the law. If in the past the focus was on enhancing shareholder value, now it is on engaging stakeholders for long-term value creation. This does not mean that shareholders are not important, or that profitability is not vital to business success, but that in order to survive and be profitable a company must engage with a range of stakeholders whose views may vary greatly. If in the past corporate social responsibility was simply seen as profitability plus compliance plus philanthropy, now responsible corporate citizenship means companies being more aware of and understanding the societies in which they operate. This means senior executives and managers being able to deal with a wide range of issues including greater accountability, human rights abuses, sustainability strategies, corporate governance codes, workplace ethics, stakeholder consultation and management.The aim and scope of Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is to help capture and distil these and other emerging trends in terms of content, context and processes, in one concise volume. With contributions from the *crème de la crème* of leading thinkers from around the world, Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is essential reading for students, scholars and all serious thinkers on one of the most critical issues of our time.
