Teoría organizacional y sostenibilidad empresarial: Un análisis teórico

Abstract

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los desarrollos actuales en el campo de la teoría organizacional para determinar su potencial como marcos teóricos que coloquen la sostenibilidad en el centro de la gestión empresarial. La metodología utilizada fue una revisión narrativa de la literatura para seleccionar artículos y libros relevantes para el análisis, con base en el juicio de expertos. Los resultados indican que, aunque han surgido teorías como la basada en recursos naturales, la de los stakeholders y los microfundamentos de la estrategia, que facilitan incorporar valores éticos y sostenibles en la gestión empresarial, aun enfrentan desafíos para superar la orientación instrumental centrada en la eficiencia y productividad económica propia de la teoría administrativa tradicional. Se concluye, que es imperativo revisar y adaptar las estrategias empresariales para incorporar genuinamente la sostenibilidad en su gestión y poder ir más allá del desarrollo de acciones orientadas a la mera búsqueda de rentabilidad a corto plazo. Las implicaciones de este trabajo teórico son significativas para guiar tanto a académicos como a profesionales en la revisión y adaptación de estrategias empresariales para alinear las prácticas organizacionales con principios sostenibles, promoviendo un equilibrio entre la eficiencia económica, la responsabilidad social y la protección ambiental.
