Business goals and social commitment. Shaping organisational capabilities. — Colombia’s Fundación Social, 1984-2011
Corporations, business groups and other business organizations are increasingly concerned about social challenges that directly impact the future of capitalism. Colombia s Fundación Social (FS) a century-old Latin American business group has from its start operated under two different but closely intertwined rationales: as a market, profit-seeking player; and as a civil society organization practicing solidarity. Social aims are at the core of FS mission, and business firms are instrumental. Remarkably, despite decades of growth as a ranking business group, FS underlying objective remained grounded in concern for the poor: To fight the structural causes of poverty.
Business Integrity in Practice
The quest for integrity in business is not only a reaction against malfeasance in business and associated calls for reform but also a search that stems from changes and new demands in the global business environment. Among the sources of these new demands are the expectations of stakeholders that corporations and their leaders will take more active roles as citizens within society and in the fight against some of the most pressing problems in the world, such as poverty, environmental degradation, defending human rights, corruption, and pandemic diseases. This book presents and critically discusses key case studies from all over the world, offering essential insights, practical advice, and guidance for any business leader wishing to lead an organization with reliable and proven integrity. The authors provide valuable research results as well as real teaching tools for faculty and students.
Lo social y lo económico: ¿dos caras de una misma moneda?
La Fundación Social –fs– cumple cien años de vida en 2011, un récord poco común en un país que apenas celebra dos siglos como nación independiente1 , pues Colombia es aún una sociedad en vías de desarrollo, una "economía emergente" en la cual son escasas las organizaciones relacionadas directamente con su desarrollo económico y social que han logrado una trayectoria centenaria. Esa fragilidad de las instituciones se ha ido reconociendo gradualmente como uno de los problemas fundamentales para la evolución favorable de la economía en estas sociedades. Por ello en el difícil proceso de construcción de organizaciones que apoyen el "juego limpio", es decir, promotoras y ejemplo de apoyo a las instituciones, resulta valioso estudiar aquellas que se han mantenido durante tanto tiempo. Y además, difundir los aprendizajes derivados del análisis de su recorrido, de sus ciclos, de sus altibajos, de la manera como superaron las crisis y las coyunturas difíciles que les han permitido consolidarse.
