2013. This movement has influenced the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo and lead to their producing official mascots in 2013. Furthermore, other embassies and government agencies in Japan follow suite and create original mascots to promote exchange between Japan and their own countries. The case introduced here is the communication strategy between nations using mascots as the medium by naturally encouraging participation or collaboration that is the current trend in the world of marketing. It is important to keep in mind how far the current grass-roots level activity will expand. Figure#4 Peccary and Friends 194
Business and Social Initiatives in Latin America: Context, Concepts, and Operational Guidelines Scott, Gregory CENTRUM Graduate Business School Gregory J Scott, CENTRUM, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Jirón Daniel Alomía Robles 125, Santiago de Surco, Lima, 33, Peru, +51-1-626-7100, Ext 7128 ABSTRACT This paper analyzes business and social initiatives in Latin America by delineating their conceptual foundations and reviewing the factors influencing their trajectory. In so doing, the paper examines the longstanding linkages between social concerns and business endeavors in the region and how they were influenced by political, social, and economic changes both within and outside Latin America. As the vast majority of new social business initiatives are most likely to be undertaken by management professionals or social activists new to this field, the paper proposes some key operational guidelines gleaned from recent research as well as years of practical experience in this emerging domain of business administration. INTRODUCTION The last quarter century witnessed a series of profound changes in the business environment in Latin America. In an impressive number of countries, policy initiatives in the form of privatization of public enterprises, liberalization of domestic markets, and the aggressive pursuit of free trade agreements together reduced direct government participation in the economy [1][2][3]. In the process, governments ceded a far more prominent role in the economic affairs of the nation to private enterprise both foreign and national. These policy shifts ushered in a period of foreign investment that facilitated the aggressive spread of telecommunications capabilities: the internet, cable television and the use of cell phones with progressively more sophisticated capacity. Favorable terms of trade for primary commodities in turn contributed to strong economic growth and rising real incomes. As a by-product of these various developments, there emerged what some observers have come to characterize as a new relation between business and society in the region [4]. Said relation is said to reflect the expanding involvement of private enterprise in an array of social initiatives that go well beyond simply maximizing profits to include, among other things, helping attain environmental sustainability [5], fostering more inclusive business activities among low-income segments of society [6][7][8], promoting entrepreneurship among poor urban teenagers [9], offering improved educational opportunities [10] — and for some even suggesting a new management paradigm for business itself [11]. CONTINUUM OF BUSINESS MODELS In wake of these developments, an expanding continuum of business models with a varying scope and intensity of social engagement have either spouted up from nothing or emerged from their past structures so as to be become various degrees removed from their previous constitutions and operating procedures [12]. In the process, what might be referred to broadly as the “social initiatives of business” also has diversified in terms of primary objectives. Some studies refer to “social enterprise” [13] when setting out to learn from business experience in carrying out social initiatives in different countries or sectors across the region-- that in themselves differ markedly in terms of the social objectives and the nature of the involvement of business from others similarly characterized [10][14][15]. Other observers refer to “social business” when describing what at least to some have undertaken a rather different type of commercial endeavor that places far less priority on private profits and much more on social progress [5]. It should also be noted that these more recent (i.e., since 2000) manifestations of social initiatives on the part of business enterprises in Latin America or the pursuit of social benefits through businessbased initiatives are by no means without their own regional antecedents in either the corporate [16][17] or socio-economic development domain [18] [19], nor are they by any means entirely the result of initiatives of strictly regional origin [20][21]. KEY QUESTIONS FOR MANAGERS From a more managerial perspective, and despite the differences previously alluded to, over the two decades a growing body of literature on social undertakings of business raises the following questions. While all social initiatives engaged in by businesses succeed or fail in a particular context— commercial, social, legal, or cultural, are there a series of management guidelines that bear taking note of going forward grounded in the experience in Latin America? In particular, are there some basic operational guidelines for business practitioners engaged in social initiatives that emphasize the initial phase of such undertakings, but also of more long-term applicability that merit mention taking note of in themselves given their managerial implications? Such guidelines might also serve as something of a benchmark in the journey towards a better appreciation of how to improve the execution 195
