Social embeddedness has been identified as a critical success factor for operations of MNCs in low-income markets. Based on survey data gathered from two subsidiaries of a European MNC, Dina Badry examines relational and structural network aspects with regard to their influence on the success of companies’ Base of the Pyramid (BOP) strategies. In order to reveal detailed results and tangible implications for corporate leaders, the author distinguishes not only stakeholder and cross-sector partnerships but also different strategic intentions. The establishment of trust, especially in cross-sector partnerships, turns out to be essential in order to succeed in the approach to serve low-income consumer markets.

La centralité du travail dans nos existences n’est plus à démontrer mais comment en cerner la portée ? Cet ouvrage propose de l’éclairer à partir des rapports entre le temps et le travail. Notre approche vise à saisir simultanément les transformations du temps du travail et ses incidences sur les autres temps sociaux. Les contributions rassemblées ici permettent de faire le lien entre des réalités trop souvent saisies séparément : celles du travail d’un côté, celles de l’éducation formation, de la famille et de l’organisation domestique de l’autre. Or, il importe de les relier dans la mesure où les transformations du travail et des modes de vie s’inscrivent dans une dynamique salariale qui rythme les existences de plus en plus tôt, de plus en plus tard et de plus en plus profondément. Simultanément, les temps sociaux s’enchevêtrent en cours d’existence dans le cadre de tensions toujours plus vives qu’il importe de saisir non seulement à travers les quantités de temps qu’ils nous disputent mais également à travers les évolutions qualitatives qu’elles rendent possibles. La question est alors de savoir comment s’extraire de l’emprise de l’urgence et de l’accélération dans les faits comme dans l’analyse afin de saisir le présent dans son épaisseur temporelle.

This volume unites the perspective of business ethics with approaches from strategic management, economics, law, political science, and with philosophical reflections on the theory of Corporate Citizenship and New Governance. In view of the internationalization of the economy and the free movement of capital, new instruments of political coordination are needed. These societal changes trigger the two closely intertwined challenges examined in this book. The first challenge relates to the role and the self-conceptualization of business firms as corporate citizens within society. Companies are increasingly expected to assume the social responsibility of helping to shape the rule-framework of globalization. The second challenge refers to the form of the engagement in local, national and international processes of governance. To more credibly and effectively tackle these challenges, corporate actors are ever more participating in rule-setting processes together with civil society organizations and the government.

Three paradoxes surround the division of the costs of social reproduction:* Women have entered the paid labour force in growing numbers, but they continue to perform most of the unpaid labour of housework and childcare.* Birth rates have fallen but more and more mothers are supporting children on their own, with little or no assistance from fathers.* The growth of state spending is often blamed on malfunctioning markets, or runaway bureaucracies. But a large percentage of social spending provides substitutes for income transfers that once took place within families.Who Pays
