Abstract in Portuguese
A atividade de negócios possui uma dimensão ética, complementar às suas dimensões econômica e legal. Acadêmicos de distintas correntes de pensamento compartilham esta percepção. Entretanto, o consenso desfaz-se quando se aprofunda o enfoque sobre a natureza dessa dimensão ética. Alguns compartilham a "visão dos stockholders"; os gestores têm a atribuição formal de incrementar o retorno dos acionistas ou cotistas da empresa. Para atingir tais objetivos, os gestores deveriam atuar somente de acordo com as forças impessoais do mercado, que demandam eficiência e lucro. Outra corrente de pensamento argumenta com base na "visão dos stakeholders": os gestores têm a atribuição ética de respeitar os direitos e promover o bem entre todos os agentes pela firma, incluindo neste conjunto de agentes os clientes, fornecedores, funcionários, os próprios acionistas ou cotistas (majoritários e minoritários), a comunidade local, bem como os próprios gestores, que devem ser agentes a serviço deste grupo ampliado. Evan & Freeman (1988) argumentam que a visão neoclássica de que a responsabilidade social das organizações é a maximização da riqueza dos stockholders deve abranger uma abordagem teórica mais ampla, incorporando os demais stakeholders. É neste contexto que são debatidas atualmente as atividades de responsabilidade social corporativa. O enfoque deste trabalho dá destaque ao papel do ambiente institucional em induzir as ações de responsabilidade social das empresas. Asinstituições importam como fator motivacional indutor do tipo de conduta dos agentes, em aspectos econômicos, legais e éticos. Assim, alterações no ambiente institucional, como consequência do processo de integração dos mercados, têm sido um dos importantes vetores de mudanças comportamentais das empresas. O trabalho explora a interface entre ambiente institucional, reputação, ética nos negócios e , como decorrência, as ações de responsabilidade social das empresas

Abstract in English
The issue of Corporate Social Responsibility is subject of growing debate in the academic environment. It is widely accepted that business has an ethical dimension, besides the economic and legal dimensions. But there is no consensus about the nature of the ethical dimension and to whom they are owed. A group of scholars support the stockholder vie\A/'\ the idea is that the only social responsibility of business managers is to increase profits of the company's owners, respecting the rules, without fraud or deception. Other group support the stakeholder vieW'\ business managers have duties to several groups, all of those affected by the firrrTs decisions, including clients, suppliers, employees, community and so on. The present thesis will evaluate these competing views under the framework of institutions where the business activity is played. The point is that the institutional set is the main motivational factor inducting the firirTs behavior regarding ethical and social responsibility issues. The changes in the global institutional environment, both formal and informal, as a consequence of the growing market integration are the driving forces in the behavior changes of firms worldwide and specifically within the brazilian context. This study focus on the links between institutional environment, business ethics, reputation and corporate social responsibility of five brazilian companies from the food, pulp and paper agribusiness fields (Nestlé, Sadia, Perdigão, Jari Celulose and Orsa group). All of them have recently launched social responsibility programs. The study discuss the main incentives for the companies to engage in such programs. Although with different motivations, the owners and executives of companies have the perception of positive retums of social responsibility actions11 to the corporate image. They report a growing concern with such issue, which is becoming part of their corporate strategic planning models. As a conclusion, the main evidence of the cases supports the statement that institutions matter to the economic and social performance of business agents. The new institutional framework, derived from technological changes specifically in Communications, new social and environmental regulations and consumer behavior changes are raising the ethical concerns of companies, inducing them to develop social responsibility actions as a strategy to gain or at least mantain their reputational capital.
