This article follows a humanistic management approach to analyze how indigenous social enterprises contribute to building sustainable rural communities. To this end, I first explore the process of how these entities were formed and developed the necessary capabilities to generate such outcomes. Then, I examine the strategies indigenous social enterprises create to engage in value creation activities with the community and their main outcomes. Such outcomes are finally classified by the problems they addressed according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), since one of the gaps in the literature indicates a lack of studies that relate specific SDGs with the outcomes of social enterprises in developing countries. This article follows a qualitative approach, a case study research strategy, and uses semi-structured interviews as the main data collection instrument. Evidence from four cases of indigenous social enterprises in Latin America suggests that these entities originate as a result of a major crisis that affects the dignity of the individuals and compromises the socio-economic dynamics of the communities. Second, local leadership urges a response that takes the form of a social enterprise that follows local principles and governance and pursues dignity protection, sustainability, and cultural reaffirmation. As a result, the communities have increased their levels of well-being and sustainability, linked to SDGs such as good health, decent work, reduced inequalities, public infrastructure, sustainable communities, and partnerships for the goals. This article also sheds light on how a humanistic management approach can contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of social enterprises, as these humanistic principles and practices seem to be naturally promoted by social entrepreneurs.

Indigenous groups continue to experience injustices in relation to tourism development, management, and marketing despite calls for equity, justice, and fairness in sustainable tourism. Economic interests continue to dominate and, consequently, the social, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of minority and Indigenous groups tend to take a secondary position in tourism development plans. Progress has been made in developing frameworks to examine justice for Indigenous groups, but they do not take into account the concepts of dignity, which we argue is a core principle in a humanistic approach that seeks fairer outcomes for Indigenous and minorities groups. Drawing upon humanism and humanistic management theory, we examine the Mayan Train megaproject in southern Mexico, propose guiding principles and identify responsibilities for key actors that prioritize the restoration, protection, and promotion of the dignity of groups and prevent potential injustices resulting from tourism projects. We also suggest transformative actions that revalue the cultural identity and status of Indigenous groups, increase their capabilities and self-esteem, and promote their autonomy and wellbeing.

In this paper we advance inquiry into human dignity in relation to the theory and practice of social entrepreneurship and innovation in a two-fold manner. First, we explore how concepts from the literatures of human dignity and humanistic management can inform and enrich social entrepreneurship and innovation. Second, we examine case studies of social entrepreneurship and innovation to refine how we think about and operationalize notions of human dignity. In this way, we connect human dignity research more closely to alternative life-conducive forms of organizing. Our goals are to advance an understanding of human dignity and to make this concept more accessible and relevant in business and management, as well as to explore how the practice of social entrepreneurship and innovation can both enrich and be enriched by the notion of human dignity. Third, we draw on the emerging literature of humanistic management to generate a classification system in the context of social innovation that specifies how organizing can contribute to dignity restoration, dignity protection, and dignity promotion. We elaborate and showcase paradigmatic cases, probe the limits of these cases for future research, and consider how to extend this dignity organizing model to other modes of business practice, such as the notion of value creation. Fourth, we outline an emerging research agenda for those interested in connecting innovation and organizing practices writ large with the notion of human dignity.

This chapter analyzes the practices of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in Chilean small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This work follows an explorative and descriptive methodology that uses analysis of secondary information as data collection instrument. Results suggest that SMEs in Chile seem to have a higher degree of adoption of CSR practices when compared to those of other countries in Latin America. Chilean SMEs tend to concentrate their efforts in the area of human resources; therefore, these organizations are more willing to invest in labor-related issues than in the negative impacts they may generate in the environment and society. This can be evaluated as a natural first stage, since worker-focused CSR programs generally have a faster return on investment than those focused on other areas. Also, the relations that SMEs develop with local communities to create value are still an area of opportunity that can be addressed through the SMEs and CSR technical groups of the Pacific Alliance. This alliance is an ideal platform to share best CSR practices among SMEs, which probably will increase their competitiveness.

Objetivo: explorar y describir el rol de las empresas sociales para impulsar el desarrollo sostenible de comunidades indígenas. Metodología: a través de un método cualitativo basado en una estrategia de investigación de estudio de caso, se analizaron dos empresas sociales indígenas ubicadas en Perú y México. El método principal de recolección de información fue la entrevista, y de forma secundaria la observación y el análisis de documentos. Resultados: el liderazgo local de ambas organizaciones busca involucrar y empoderar a la comunidad a través de distintas estrategias como empleo digno, creación de nuevas empresas, sensibilización ambiental, construcción de infraestructura, y nuevos mercados para productos locales. Además, la cosmovisión de cada grupo indígena permitió crear organizaciones alineadas a los valores y cultura de cada comunidad, potenciando las sinergias con los principales grupos de interés. El desarrollo de un ecosistema de emprendimiento ha permitido la creación de nuevas empresas que generan empleo digno, y han convertido a ambas comunidades en polos de desarrollo regional. Finalmente, la innovación social dirigida a la reducción del impacto ambiental negativo ha permitido legitimar las operaciones de las empresas, diversificar, y obtener certificaciones relacionadas con desarrollo sostenible. Limitaciones: la cosmovisión de cada comunidad indígena limita la utilidad de los resultados derivados de esta investigación en otros contextos culturales. La fase exploratoria del fenómeno invita a ser cautos al formular relaciones causales. Conclusiones: las lecciones derivadas de estas empresas sociales indígenas contribuyen a replantear lógicas largamente establecidas en el ámbito del desarrollo regional y la administración de empresas. Este trabajo contribuye a la literatura al analizar el papel de las empresas sociales en el desarrollo regional de comunidades indígenas, en cuya conversación existe poca evidencia empírica de América Latina, y más aún en un contexto con altos niveles de marginación y exclusión.

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the way in which three indigenous social enterprises from Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, solve the paradox of simultaneously producing social and economic value, which creates organizational tensions.Design/methodology/approach: This research follows a qualitative method based on a case study research strategy. Three different data collection techniques are applied: Analysis of internal reports, direct observation, and semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholder, mainly employees and managers.Findings: Indigenous social enterprises deal with organizational tensions by adopting different organizational structures and privileging one dimension over the other (social or economic) in decision making Social implications. Indigenous social enterprises generate quality of life and reduce historical exclusion patterns by strengthening local economy dynamics through social innovation.Originality/value: Social innovations, appreciated in different organizational structures, contribute to alleviate the tension that arises from managing entities with double purpose. Also, this research provides evidence of how marginalized groups can overcome exclusion and poverty conditions by creating indigenous social enterprises.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un diagnóstico de las prácticas de sostenibilidad de la micro, pequeña y mediana empresa (MiPyME) en el estado mexicano de Nuevo León, utilizando la metodología del modelo pentadimensional de sostenibilidad. Este modelo, construido a partir del contexto que rodea a la MiPyME en México, se compone de las dimensiones de gestión global, competitividad, relaciones, impactos, y transparencia y comunicación. Los resultados, derivados de un cuestionario aplicado a 221 empresas, indican que algunas de estas tienen ya claro qué medidas tomar para incluir estrategias de sostenibilidad en la mayoría de las áreas del negocio, sin llegar aún a una gestión integral global. De igual forma, hay empresas que manifiestan tomar medidas incipientes y actitudes positivas en materia de sostenibilidad, pero carecen de conocimiento y del interés suficiente para concretar un modelo de gestión sostenible en el largo plazo.

The aim of this chapter is to explore the mechanisms by which an indigenous social enterprise in southern Mexico is building a sustainable ecosystem that improves the quality of life of the community. The research suggests that indigenous social enterprises have developed novel mechanisms based on its culture and cosmovision, which ultimately generate an ecosystem that promotes community welfare. These mechanisms are accountability and transparency, legitimacy, equality policies, a participatory organizational structure, social innovation, and entrepreneurial orientation. This case shows how the communitarian perspective of the entity increases the quality of life of employees and their households, fosters the local economy, and consolidates an ecosystem that promotes development in the community. From a public policy perspective, the case also suggests actions that might promote the generation of business models that integrate vulnerable communities to the global economy from a sustainable, collaborative perspective.

The aim of this article is to explore the mechanisms by which indigenous social enterprises contribute to a rural community’s sustainable development and improves the quality of life of its inhabitants. The work follows a qualitative methodology and uses the case study as a research technique. The research suggests that social enterprise uses four main mechanisms to promote rural sustainable development in the community where it operates: labor as a source of quality of life, gender equality, sustainable exploitation of the resources, and the equitable distribution of benefits between the economic, social and environmental dimensions.

Purpose: To explore innovative enabler mechanisms for women's empowerment in a social enterprise and how they promote local development in a Zapotec indigenous community, the third largest ethnic group in Mexico. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: This paper contributes to the extension of social entrepreneurship literature from a gender perspective, exploring the mechanisms that allow women to succeed in highly marginalized indigenous communities. Key methodological aspects: This paper follows a case study methodology, inductive approach and qualitative methods mainly through 70 in-depth interviews. Summary of key results: Although the male-dominated culture slows down the democratic and political empowerment of women in the community, mechanisms such as job stability, low-interest microcredits and gender-equality policies in the organization have triggered economic empowerment. Key considerations/conclusions: The creation of empowering mechanisms within the social enterprise has allowed the Zapotec community to prosper and increase its general wellbeing. Women have been particularly benefited since the organization has given them the opportunity to work, empowering them to create micro-enterprises and changing the prevailing culture towards a more equalitarian society. Increasing control of their source of income has improved women's willingness to participate in political and managerial decision-making, inspiring more women in the community to work at the organization.

This paper describes and analyzes the nonmarket strategies of the Mexican television duopoly in order to reach an understanding of how firms gain and maintain first-mover advantages by influencing policymakers. Clear evidence shows that the incumbent duopoly has used its nonmarket strategies to accrue wealth and prevent new competitors from entering the Mexican television industry. Furthermore, a model of self-reinforcement of first-mover advantages exists and leads to the influence of the duopoly's nonmarket strategies on public welfare and other ethical issues.
