Empresas ligadas à economia de comunhão: uma proposta de atuação conjunta

Abstract

The Economy of Communion - EdC is an alternative proposal to the economic logic of production through production and comprises a worldwide network of people and entrepreneurial initiatives based on the 'culture of sharing', that is, the communion of natural, material and spiritual resources, which Will be put into circulation in the social fabric, in view of universal fraternity. It is a line of business management, inspired by the spirituality of the Focolare Movement, which requires the appreciation of employees, a participative management, respect for nature and ethics in relationships with stakeholders and public administration and competitors, demanding, thus, legality. The thesis proposes that it is possible to develop a network structure and a form of joint action for the EdC that allows its development to face the challenges posed by the turbulent environment (EMERY and TRIST, 1965), that is, complex, uncertain and marked by the interdependence between The parts, which characterizes the world today, based on the theory of Organizational Ecology proposed by Trist (1976). The theory of organizational ecology proposes a kind of flexible reticular structure, where the focus is not on a single organization, but on a larger field that extrapolates transactional relationships. This approach is based on the parties' self-regulation and constant negotiation. We suggest the use of the research-action methodology, whose dynamics are closely correlated with the EdC experience previously experienced. The dynamic nature of the EdC requires a continuous review of the results achieved, as recommended by Adaptive Planning, which unites theory and practice, fosters learning and knowledge management.
