Ser sustentable en la pyme es una obra dirigida a empresarios, académicos, estudiantes y público en general interesados en conocer y promover la sustentabilidad como parte de una nueva cultura en el mundo. A través de ella se busca sensibilizar a dueños, directivos, Cámaras, sector gubernamental y sociedad en general, sobre la importancia de considerar la sustentabilidad en la operacionalidad de sus organizaciones, con especial atención en la pyme, como parte de un nuevo enfoque que ya no puede postergarse por la crisis ambiental actual y ante un marco legal cada vez más alineado a las dimensiones del desarrollo sustentable –social, económica, ambiental e institucional. Destacando que, en la actualidad, la sociedad contemporánea demanda a la pyme no sólo preocuparse por producir y vender, sino el transitar hacia una empresa sustentable, donde su quehacer empresarial no afecte a sus diferentes grupos de interés. Enfatizando que, el ser sustentable en la pyme impactará en mejorar su imagen corporativa, su competitividad y su desarrollo. Finalmente, los autores, a partir de su propia área de estudio y experiencia, con esta obra muestran cómo se ha analizado a través del tiempo a la sustentabilidad, y describen diferentes acciones que han implementado, o que se pueden implementar en los procesos internos de la pyme, con la finalidad de promover el desarrollo sustentable como un eje prioritario en su filosofía organizacional, y así, ayudar a que los responsables de la toma de decisiones no lo vean como un enfoque de gestión complejo, sino como parte de una nueva cultura empresarial.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) expresses a fundamental morality in the way a company behaves toward society. It follows ethical behavior toward stakeholders and recognizes the spirit of the legal and regulatory environment. The idea of CSR gained momentum in the late 1950s and 1960s with the expansion of large conglomerate corporations and became a popular subject in the 1980s with R. Edward Freeman's Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach and the many key works of Archie B. Carroll, Peter F. Drucker, and others. In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008–2010, CSR has again become a focus for evaluating corporate behavior. First published in 1953, Howard R. Bowen’s Social Responsibilities of the Businessman was the first comprehensive discussion of business ethics and social responsibility. It created a foundation by which business executives and academics could consider the subjects as part of strategic planning and managerial decision-making. Though written in another era, it is regularly and increasingly cited because of its relevance to the current ethical issues of business operations in the United States. Many experts believe it to be the seminal book on corporate social responsibility. This new edition of the book includes an introduction by Jean-Pascal Gond, Professor of Corporate Social Responsibility at Cass Business School, City University of London, and a foreword by Peter Geoffrey Bowen, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver, who is Howard R. Bowen's eldest son.

The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.
