“…Generating local employment is probably the most practical solution to address the issue of migration and human trafficking. However, not much progress has been made over the years to generate entrepreneurial opportunities and economic investments (Bain, 2017). Investors are often unwilling to invest in the region due to difficult connectivity (Nandy, 2014) and poor governance (Upadhyay, 2017).…”

Purpose Social enterprises (SEs) have experienced unprecedented uncertainty due to COVID-19, and it has challenged the fundamental assumptions underlying the SEs. Little is known about the strategic response of SEs when their fundamental characteristics are being challenged. The purpose of this paper is to explore – how do SEs respond to a crisis caused by the pandemic? Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a case study approach and reports the response strategy of impulse social enterprises (ISE) from India. Data were collected through interviews, Webinars and organizational reports. To analyze the data, the authors examined the fundamental assumption on SE that was challenged by the pandemic. Findings The response strategy of ISE is driven by social and substantive rationality focusing on the relationship with the community and doing what is good for them. The role of communication was vital in gathering support and resources to continue with their function. ISE adapted a mindset of mission agility and created an alternative market for its product. Originality/value This study highlights the response strategy of SE in an emerging economy like India, which experienced one of the stringent lockdowns. It is probably one of the few studies that examined the responses of SE under a crisis that challenged their fundamental attributes by adopting the framework of Bacq and Lumpkin (2021).

“…Los estudios sobre emprendimiento de los últimos diez años son mayoritariamente teórico-descriptivos y se contextualizan en Educación Secundaria, lo que confirma que la investigación en este campo se desarrolla principalmente en etapas educativas superiores, a pesar de su importancia en todas las etapas educativas (Bain, 2017;Carvalho et al, 2015;Güven, 2009;Huber et al, 2012;Johansen y Schanke, 2013). En concreto, los artículos de autores españoles revisados en este estudio destacan por referirse a prácticas emprendedoras concretas en Educación Primaria.…”

La competencia en sentido de iniciativa y espíritu emprendedor está adquiriendo gran relevancia en el sistema educativo actual, ya que, recientemente, la Unión Europea ha promovido su inclusión en el currículo educativo. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los artículos referidos a Educación Primaria y Secundaria, con el fin de profundizar en el concepto de emprendimiento, las prácticas concretas realizadas para fomentarlo y en las recomendaciones para la práctica educativa. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de 43 artículos encontrados en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus, Dialnet y ERIC utilizando como palabras clave Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria, educación obligatoria y emprendimiento. Las principales conclusiones son que las prácticas educativas realizadas para fomentar el emprendimiento se encuentran todavía en una fase piloto a través de experiencias puntuales desarrolladas a través de asignaturas o programas, en las cuáles se abordan las habilidades, actitudes y fases necesarias para la creación de una empresa, de manera innovadora y creativa. Como aspecto novedoso, en ambas etapas se tiende a prácticas educativas orientadas hacia el emprendimiento social para la mejora de la comunidad. Las principales diferencias por etapas son que en Educación Secundaria se desarrolla más la creación de una empresa mientras que en la Educación Primaria se incide en el desarrollo de la creatividad. La mayoría de los estudios son teóricos-descriptivos y se centran en la etapa de Educación Secundaria, a pesar de su inclusión como competencia clave en la educación obligatoria, incluida la Educación Primaria. Finalmente, se destacan como principales limitaciones de la inclusión del emprendimiento en los centros educativos la falta de formación del profesorado y de recursos humanos y económicos, y la utilización de métodos ineficaces para fomentar dicha competencia.

“…While it is challenging to obtain concrete data on the magnitude of human trafficking (Datta & Bales, 2014), the ILO estimates that 21 million of the 25 million people trapped in forced labor are victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is not only an “industry,” but it is also widespread in supply chains across a variety of industries such as agriculture, food processing, and fashion (Bain, 2017; Foot, 2016; Phillips, 2013; Sylwester, 2014). Limoncelli (2017) refers to human trafficking as a “plague” in corporate global supply chains (p. 119).…”

Business and Human Trafficking: A Social Connection and Political Responsibility Model

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Human trafficking is one of the most lucrative international criminal activities and is widespread across a variety of industries. The response to human trafficking in corporate supply chains has been dominated by analyses of due diligence obligations. Existing scholarship, however, has cast doubt on the effectiveness of corporate due diligence in addressing human trafficking, because human trafficking is the outcome of macro-level social structures that are created by and consist of multiple actors, including business. The outsourcing and sub-contracting model provides incentives throughout the global supply chain to sub-contract further to reduce the cost of labor, which has led to human trafficking remaining a pervasive problem. Business responsibility for human trafficking derives from the fact that business decisions and strategies enable the conditions that allow for human trafficking to occur within their supply chains. To address human trafficking, we propose a social connection and political responsibility model, based on Iris Marion Young’s analysis of social connection and structural injustice, that is holistic, forward-looking, and outcomes-oriented. We differentiate between businesses with a strong connection to human trafficking and businesses with a weak connection, and within this distinction delineate different pathways that firms can take to meet their political responsibilities to address human trafficking. We conclude with implications for future research.
