Research Group
Social Innovation and Sustainability

The Strategically-Focused Research Group in Social Innovation and Sustainability seeks to bring business and society into alignment by developing business models to solve social and environmental problems in Latin America.

First, we test known business models for solving social problems in order to understand the context and institutions of Latin America and validate these business models in order to determine whether they solve social problems in Latin America (ex., microfinance, base of the pyramid models, corporate social responsibility, human resources management and stakeholder management). Second, we seek to understand the mechanisms of business models that affect social problems. We ask what factors limit effectiveness of current business models? What factors improve effectiveness of current business models? Third, we seek to develop new business models for Latin America by establishing their validity and ability to solve environmental and social problems in the region.

  • Circular economy
  • Corporate social responsibility
  • Human resources management in a changing social and environmental context
