Abstract: El presente articulo da cuenta de los principales argumentos de la vision que poseen representantes de la sociedad civil sobre el accionar de las empresas y el Estado chileno. Por medio de una metodologia cualitativa, se realizaron 24 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a representantes de tres tipos de organizaciones pertenecientes a la sociedad civil: sindicatos, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y movimientos sociales. Los temas a indagar fueron el accionar de las empresas chilenas y su vinculacion con la sociedad y comunidad en las cuales operan, asi como el como el rol que posee el Estado en asegurar derechos e implementar politicas publicas y programas sociales. Los resultados preliminares de nuestra investigacion nos muestran un descontento con el funcionamiento de la institucionalidad economica y politica chilena. Los argumentos de nuestros entrevistados critican el rol que juegan las empresas chilenas en el desarrollo de su responsabilidad social y el disminuido rol que posee el Estado para regular el actuar de las empresas y garantizar la proteccion de derechos universales.

TL;DR: Infrentar esta coyuntura, se necesitan nuevos contratos sociales, aprovechando las aportaciones de las disciplinas de la economia social, solidaria and ecologica that estan integrando una comprension sensible de las experiencias de los muchos pueblos que ofrecen otras formas de plantear el problema fundamental de la relacion sociedad-naturaleza as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Las crisis que hoy padecemos son fruto de la forma centralizada de la acumulacion de capital con importantes impactos sociales y ambientales negativos, resultado del paradigma dominante basado en la racionalidad del mercado. Para enfrentar esta coyuntura, se necesitan nuevos contratos sociales, aprovechando las aportaciones de las disciplinas de la economia social, solidaria y ecologica que estan integrando una comprension sensible de las experiencias de los muchos pueblos que ofrecen otras formas de plantear el problema fundamental de la relacion sociedad-naturaleza. La construccion de nuevos paradigmas implica la apertura hacia la diversidad cultural y biologica que rompe con la hegemonia de una logica unitaria que define nuestras instituciones. Estos paradigmas requieren ir mas alla de una estrategia de inclusion y participacion para incorporar visiones alternativas y racionalidades diversas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the conditions in which social movements have more capacity for political and social impact, and analyze what were the characteristics of the transitions in Chile and Spain and of the unions that had more impact during them.
Abstract: espanolLa relevancia de los sindicatos como movimientos sociales en el estudio de la transicion a la democracia no se ha tenido tan en cuenta como el liderazgo de partidos y politicos. A traves de la teoria que estudia las condiciones en las que los movimientos sociales tienen mas capacidad de impacto politico y social, analizamos cuales fueron las caracteristicas de las transiciones de Chile y Espana y de los sindicatos que tuvieron mas impacto durante las mismas. Esas caracteristicas incluyen la estructura de oportunidad politica, el marco discursivo e identitario de los sindicatos, y sus repertorios de accion. A traves de ese analisis, se observa que la estructura de oportunidad condiciona en gran medida la capacidad de accion de los sindicatos EnglishThe relevance of trade unions as social movements in the study of the transition to democracy has not been taken into account as much as the leadership of parties and politicians. Through the theory that studies the conditions in which social movements have more capacity for political and social impact, we analyze what were the characteristics of the transitions in Chile and Spain and of the unions that had more impact during them. These characteristics include the structure of political opportunity, the discursive and identity framework of the unions, and their repertoires of action. Through this analysis, it can be seen that the structure of opportunity largely conditions the unions' capacity for action.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the process of inducting theory using case studies from specifying the research questions to reaching closure, which is a process similar to hypothesis-testing research.
Abstract: Building Theories From Case Study Research - This paper describes the process of inducting theory using case studies from specifying the research questions to reaching closure. Some features of the process, such as problem definition and construct validation, are similar to hypothesis-testing research. Others, such as within-case analysis and replication logic, are unique to the inductive, case-oriented process. Overall, the process described here is highly iterative and tightly linked to data. This research approach is especially appropriate in new topic areas. The resultant theory is often novel, testable, and empirically valid. Finally, framebreaking insights, the tests of good theory (e.g., parsimony, logical coherence), and convincing grounding in the evidence are the key criteria for evaluating this type of research.

TL;DR: When I hear businessmen speak eloquently about the social responsibilities of business in a free-enterprise system, I am reminded of the wonderful line about the Frenchman who discovered at the age of 70 that he had been speaking prose all his life as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: When I hear businessmen speak eloquently about the “social responsibilities of business in a free-enterprise system”, I am reminded of the wonderful line about the Frenchman who discovered at the age of 70 that he had been speaking prose all his life. The businessmen believe that they are defending free enterprise when they declaim that business is not concerned “merely” with profit but also with promoting desirable “social” ends; that business has a “social conscience” and takes seriously its responsibilities for providing employment, eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of the contemporary crop of reformers. In fact they are — or would be if they or anyone else took them seriously -preaching pure and unadulterated socialism. Businessmen who talk this way are unwitting puppets of the intellectual forces that have been undermining the basis of a free society these past decades.

TL;DR: The Value Creation Spectrum as discussed by the authors provides new reference terms for defining and analyzing value creation, and Collaboration Stages reveals how value creation varies across different types of collaborative relationships, and partnering processes reveal the value creation dynamics in the formation and implementation stages, and collaboration outcomes examine impact at the micro, meso, and macro levels.
Abstract: This focused review of the nonprofitbusiness collaboration and related corporate social responsibility literature identifies problematic aspects of the treatment of value creation and, therefore, develops a conceptual and analytical framework to address them and the following research question: How can collaboration between nonprofits and businesses most effectively co-create significant economic, social, and environmental value for society, organizations, and individuals? The first two components of the Collaborative Value Creation framework are presented in this first of two articles The Value Creation Spectrum provides new reference terms for defining and analyzing value creation, and Collaboration Stages reveals how value creation varies across different types of collaborative relationships. The framework's next two components, which are elaborated in the sequential article, are Partnering Processes, which reveals the value creation dynamics in the formation and implementation stages, and Collaboration Outcomes, which examines impact at the micro, meso, and macro levels.
