La responsabilidad social de la empresa: ¿un medio o un fin?

Author

  • Rodríguez Fernández, José Miguel

Abstract

El presente artículo pretende alcanzar un doble objetivo. De una parte, resaltar los nuevos rasgos del entorno socio-económico en el que se mueven las empresas en la actualidad, un contexto que impulsa la aplicación de un enfoque de responsabilidad social en las organizaciones mercantiles. A partir de ahí, por otro lado, presentar y analizar los elementos característicos de dos conceptos distintos de tal responsabilidad. Uno, en un sentido estratégico-instrumental, donde la responsabilidad social corporativa se desarrolla como medio para alcanzar los objetivos más generales de favorecer la competitividad de las compañias y aportar mayor valor para sus accionistas. Otro, con un contenido normativo o prescriptivo, basado en argumentos éticos, político-sociales e incluso económicos.
