          Abstract

          El presente artículo de investigación analiza la fundación y la expansión del Instituto Ethos, una organización sin ánimo de lucro que ha contribuido a crear y desarrollar la infraestructura necesaria para fomentar la responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE) en Brasil. Entre 1998 y 2008, el Instituto Ethos reunió a más de 1200 pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas con el fin de ayudarles a administrar sus negocios de una manera socialmente responsable en Brasil. Estas empresas en la actualidad representan aproximadamente un 35% del PIB en Brasil y emplean alrededor de 2 millones de personas. Los resultados de esta investigación sugieren que Ethos ha logrado difundir la RSE aplicando una perspectiva basada en el uso de la desviación positiva en el mundo de los negocios en Brasil. El artículo contribuye a los debates sobre RSE a partir de la identificación de un mecanismo de difusión de la RSE utilizando un modelo de desviación positiva.

          This research article analyzes the founding and expansion of the Instituto Ethos, a nonprofit organization that has helped to create and develop the necessary infrastructure to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Brazil. From 1998 to 2008, the Instituto Ethos has brought together more than 1200 small, medium and large companies in Brazil to help them manage their businesses in a more socially responsible way. These companies currently represent approximately 35% of Brazil's GDP and employ around 2 million people. The results of this research suggest that Ethos has been able to disseminate CSR by applying a perspective based on the use of positive deviation in the Brazilian business world. The article contributes to debates on CSR based on the identification of a mechanism for disseminating CSR using a positive deviation model.

            Strategy and society: the link between competitive advantage and corporate social responsibility.

            Governments, activists, and the media have become adept at holding companies to account for the social consequences of their actions. In response, corporate social responsibility has emerged as an inescapable priority for business leaders in every country. Frequently, though, CSR efforts are counterproductive, for two reasons. First, they pit business against society, when in reality the two are interdependent. Second, they pressure companies to think of corporate social responsibility in generic ways instead of in the way most appropriate to their individual strategies. The fact is, the prevailing approaches to CSR are so disconnected from strategy as to obscure many great opportunities for companies to benefit society. What a terrible waste. If corporations were to analyze their opportunities for social responsibility using the same frameworks that guide their core business choices, they would discover, as Whole Foods Market, Toyota, and Volvo have done, that CSR can be much more than a cost, a constraint, or a charitable deed--it can be a potent source of innovation and competitive advantage. In this article, Michael Porter and Mark Kramer propose a fundamentally new way to look at the relationship between business and society that does not treat corporate growth and social welfare as a zero-sum game. They introduce a framework that individual companies can use to identify the social consequences of their actions; to discover opportunities to benefit society and themselves by strengthening the competitive context in which they operate; to determine which CSR initiatives they should address; and to find the most effective ways of doing so. Perceiving social responsibility as an opportunity rather than as damage control or a PR campaign requires dramatically different thinking--a mind-set, the authors warn, that will become increasingly important to competitive success.
