O tema da responsabilidade social nos negócios vem sendo discutido no meio acadêmico, desde a década de 50 e sob diversos enfoques. No Brasil, mais especificamente, a discussão em torno desta questão tem seu início na década de60. No entanto, foi no final da década de 80 que o tema passou a ser discutido mais intensamente no meio empresarial e na mídia do País, assumindo importânciaestratégica para as empresas. Para a abordagem teórica desta pesquisa, foi feito um levantamento dos trabalhos pertencentes à área de estudos denominada -Business and Society-, apresentando a evolução do conceito ao longo do tempo e os conceitos delederivados. Paralelamente, o tema foi abordado contexto brasileiro, apresentando um estudo do processo de mobilização do empresariado em prol da responsabilidadesocial corporativa no Brasil. Para tal, foi feita uma pesquisa em dados secundários tais como relatórios, revistas, jornais e nos sites das associações que tratam do assunto no Brasil. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a questão da responsabilidade social corporativa no contexto brasileiro, a partir de um estudo de caso de uma organização privada. Foi investigada a gestão das relações da empresa estudada com seus diversos públicos de interesse e, de maneira mais aprofundada, analisada a gestão de suas relações com a comunidade. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidadecom funcionários, líderes da organização, coordenadores de programas e membros dos grupos afetados pela atuação da empresa. A pesquisa conclui que a responsabilidade social de uma empresa é reflexo dos valores e crenças passados por seus líderes para cultura da organização ao longo do tempo, além de ser impulsionada por fatores e pressões externas de diversas naturezas e por possíveis benefícios vislumbrados pela empresa como conseqüência de uma atuação social estratégica. A empresa pesquisada pratica sua responsabilidade social de forma multidimensional, tendo seus valores e princípios refletidos nas relações com os diversos públicos por ela afetados. No entanto, algumas limitações são apontadas, principalmente no que tange à perpetuação desta prática. A empresa em questão pode ser classificada como - empresa-cidadã -, segundo conceitos propostos por alguns dos autores estudados (Martinelli, 1997;Carroll 1998, 1999; Maignan, 1999 e Davenport, 2000).

This book examines the practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Latin America, with a particular focus on Brazil. Drawing on historical developments and theoretical reflections alike, it introduces readers to the state of the art in Brazilian CSR. The authors present a range of regulatory and entrepreneurial frameworks that form the basis for business and CSR activities in Brazil. In a number of detailed case studies from various Brazilian institutions and enterprises, the book provides revealing insights into the practice of sustainable and responsible business conduct in this country. Subsequent chapters show the effects of anti-corruption laws, which have since informed corporations’ compliance agendas, and discuss recent, massive corruption scandals. Generally speaking, the book provides a highly informative and practice-oriented resource that successfully reconciles an ostensible contradiction – corporate social responsibility and Brazil.

A responsabilidade social corporativa no Brasil tem se tornado um tema de estudo recorrente no campo da Administração. Entretanto, um aspecto crítico relacionado ao assunto deve ser analisado com maior profundidade: no que se baseia o modelo de gestão social das empresas no Brasil? Acreditamos que o aporte de concepções de outras disciplinas, como a Sociologia e a Antropologia, pode contribuir para o entendimento mais amplo da questão. Trouxemos para a pesquisa teórica os estudos do etnógrafo Marcel Mauss sobre o dom, ou paradigma da dádiva, e a sua releitura por modernos teóricos, bem como diferentes abordagens relacionadas à solidariedade. Este trabalho objetiva analisar até que ponto a gestão da responsabilidade social corporativa no Brasil pode ser associada aos princípios da dádiva e da solidariedade. Para cumprir tal objetivo, além da pesquisa teórica, foi realizado um estudo de caso de uma organização de economia mista que atua em projetos sociais em diversos estados do país, a Petrobras S.A. De acordo com o paradigma da dádiva, as relações sociais se compõem pelos pólos do interesse, da obrigação, do prazer e da espontaneidade. Na presente pesquisa, observamos que os quatro pólos do dom estão presentes na gestão da responsabilidade social corporativa da empresa estudada, em graus que variam de acordo com a especificidade de cada projeto social. Notamos também que a concepção de solidariedade, intrinsicamente relacionada à interdependência, está no cerne da gestão da responsabilidade social corporativa, ainda que os atores sociais envolvidos, em sua maioria, a associem a uma prática assistencialista.

If being socially responsible can result in short or long-term economic benefits, then why do not all companies adopt corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices? This thesis draws on general assumptions from illustrative examples of two paper companies in Brazil--Aracruz and Riocell-- to answer this question. The two examples suggest that stakeholder pressure, managers' perceptions of the economic benefits of CSR and managers' environmental and social values affect the decisions of companies to adopt corporate social responsibility. In addition, data from these two paper companies indicate that company size and economic and political context explain the variations of CSR practices between Aracruz and Riocell. This study argues that both companies have responded to pressures from stakeholders in different ways. As a result, their corporate social responsibility practices have been different. If the goals of companies are to demonstrate increased commitment to corporate social responsibility and to strengthen these practices, businesses need to focus on extending their actions beyond compliance, and incorporate corporate social responsibility as part of their policies.

"This is a book about who we are today, and how we have become who we are. It is about the engineers of the modern soul, the entrepreneurial self. It is essential reading for all those who care about the incessant demands placed on us to become more than we are, to become entrepreneurs of our selves, to maximise and optimise our capacities in ways that align personal identity and political responsibility." - Professor Peter Miller, London School of Economics & Political Science Ulrich Bröckling claims that the imperative to act like an entrepreneur has turned ubiquitous. In Western society there is a drive to orient your thinking and behaviour on the objective of market success which dictates the private and professional spheres. Life is now ruled by competition for power, money, fitness, and youth. The self is driven to constantly improve, change and adapt to a society only capable of producing winners and losers. The Entrepreneurial Self explores the series of juxtapositions within the self, created by this call for entrepreneurship. Whereas it can expose unknown potential, it also leads to over-challenging. It may strengthen self-confidence but it also exacerbates the feeling of powerlessness. It may set free creativity but it also generates unbounded anger. Competition is driven by the promise that only the capable will reap success, but no amount of effort can remove the risk of failure. The individual has no choice but to balance out the contradiction between the hope of rising and the fear of decline. Ulrich Bröckling is Professor of Cultural Sociology at the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany.
