La literatura en management ha revelado que hay una brecha conceptual, que deriva a la práctica empresarial, entre los conceptos de sostenibilidad organizacional (micro-dimensión) y la sostenibilidad ecológica o desarrollo sostenible (macro-dimensión). Este artículo de reflexión llama la atención sobre la brecha identificada, mostrando algunos de los desafíos que esta separación demanda a las organizaciones. Se argumenta que las alianzas intersectoriales, la innovación social, y los negocios híbridos son formas organizacionales emergentes, basadas en la colaboración, que aportan al cierre de la brecha. La discusión sobre la distancia entre los enfoques de la sostenibilidad tipo valor compartido (inside-out) y los enfoques de sostenibilidad con foco en el bien común (outside-in), se ejemplifica con formas organizacionales emergentes en el contexto colombiano, con un énfasis en organizaciones con incidencia en la construcción de paz.
Management literature has revealed the existing gap between the concepts of organizational sustainability (micro-dimension) and ecological sustainability or sustainable development (macro-dimension) in the business world. Hence, this article draws attention to the identified breach, showing some of the challenges that this separation establishes for organizations. It is argued that intersectoral alliances, social innovation, and hybrid businesses are emerging organizational forms based on collaboration that could contribute to bridging the gap. The debate around the distance between shared-value sustainability approaches (inside-out) and sustainability perspectives focused on the common good (outside-in) is represented through emerging organizational forms in the Colombian context, with a particular emphasis on organizations with a direct impact on peacebuilding.
A literatura em management vem revelando que há uma brecha conceitual que deriva da prática empresarial entre os conceitos de sustentabilidade organizacional (microdimensão) e sustentabilidade ecológica ou desenvolvimento sustentável (macrodimensão). Neste artigo de reflexão, é enfatizada a brecha identificada e são apresentados alguns dos desafios que essa separação implica para as organizações. É argumentado que as parcerias intersetoriais, a inovação social e os negócios híbridos são formas organizacionais emergentes, baseadas na colaboração, que contribuem para o fechamento do gaop. A discussão sobre a distância entre as abordagens da sustentabilidade tipo valor compartilhado (inside-out) e as abordagens de sustentabilidade com foco no bem comum (outside-in) é exemplificada com formas organizacionais emergentes no contexto colombiano, com ênfase em organizações com incidência na construção da paz.
