Abstract

Social responsibility has been incorporated as a fundamental aspect in the structuring of large organizations. It is inevitable from a communicative and social interpretation perspective of organizations, not to observe them as socially incorporated entities and active agents in society. In the last two decades there has been not only an advance in the theoretical conceptualization of social responsibility, but also a normative and strategic design of the implementation of SR in companies. In the present investigation, a comparative study is presented that analyzes the development and execution of Social Responsibility in Spanish and Mexican companies. For this, the index based on Corporate Reputation Corporate Monitoring (MERCO Ranking) will be taken as a basis, selecting those considered as the ten best companies positioned in Spain and Mexico. The objective of the study is to determine the coherence of the MERCO Reputation Index with the theoretical concept of social responsibility. As well as determining the real role of the SR in the organizational philosophy and the materialization of it.

La responsabilidad social se ha incorporado como un aspecto fundamental en la estructuración de las grandes organizaciones. Es inevitable desde una perspectiva comunicativa y de interpretación social de las organizaciones, no observarlas como entidades socialmente incorporadas y agentes activos en la sociedad. En las dos últimas décadas se ha producido no sólo un avance en la conceptualización teórica de la responsabilidad social, sino también un diseño normativo y estratégico de la implantación de la RS en las empresas. En la presente investigación se presenta un estudio comparativo que analiza el desarrollo y ejecución de la Responsabilidad Social en empresas españolas y mexicanas. Para ello, se tomará como base el índice basado en el Seguimiento de la Reputación Corporativa de las Empresas (Ranking MERCO), seleccionando las consideradas como las diez mejores empresas posicionadas en España y México. El objetivo del estudio es determinar la coherencia del Índice de Reputación MERCO con el concepto teórico de responsabilidad social. Así como determinar el papel real de la RS en la filosofía organizacional y la materialización de la misma.
