Humanistic management has been part of a growing conversation about a different approach to management that contributes to dignity in the workplace and better organisations overall. The theoretical concepts have mostly derived from developed countries. This book seeks to redress the balance and looks at the development and application of the concepts, approaches and models of inequality, corruption, poverty, and uncertainty in the context of Latin America. The book provides a comprehensive overview of what is happening in Latin America in terms of Humanistic Management and the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals. The first section describes the development of Humanistic Management by reviewing two different schools that have strongly influenced the discipline: the Montreal School and the Saint Gallen School. Humanistic Management is then presented as a model that can be used by scholars and practitioners in Latin America. The third part aims to explore how Humanistic Management has been, and could be, implemented across different organizations and business sectors in Latin America. Part four examines the implications of Humanistic Management for external stakeholders such as customers and consumers, suppliers, community, government, and universities. Finally, the conclusion provides new approaches to Humanistic Management for Latin America. Humanistic Management in Latin America will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts and policy makers, who want to acquire a broad understanding of social responsibility and business across the world.

La economía no es el fin último de la persona, pero juega un papel decisivo ensu desarrollo, en particular en las economías avanzadas. Por lo que la economía no es solo una parte de la acción humana, sino que es constitutivamente unaparte de la sociedad, así como de su desarrollo tanto económico, como socialy político. De la forma en que se conciba la economía en la sociedad depende no solo la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos disponibles para satisfacer lasnecesidades de la persona para su crecimiento y desarrollo, sino que afecta al desarrollo y sostenibilidad de la propia sociedad y de sus instituciones.Esta dimensión económico-societaria configura una parte sustantiva del entornode la empresa, así como de todas las instituciones privadas y publicas que determinan los espacios de libertad y de responsabilidad de cada una de ellas, lo cual condiciona su dinámica, su contribución económica y social para satisfacer las necesidades de la persona en la sociedad.La búsqueda de ese marco que configura el complejo entramado de los múltiplessistemas que dan forma al entorno empresarial e institucional constituye el eje diferenciador tanto del pensamiento económico como de la configuración política del mismo. Y de ello depende tanto la estabilidad como la sostenibilidad de la sociedad, así como el desarrollo y crecimiento de la persona y de sus instituciones.Y, precisamente, en lo que afecta a las instituciones empresariales en un orden económico-social abierto y asentado en el desarrollo de la libertad de la persona en la acción económico-social, constituye el empresario la clave. Sin empresarios innovadores, schumpeterianos, enmarcados en su relevante papel en laconfiguración responsable de la sociedad, no es posible ni el desarrollo de la misma ni el de las instituciones empresariales.Por lo que esta obra se centra, por un lado, en cómo se debe configurar la dimensión económico-social de la sociedad y, por el otro, se centra en la figurade la dimensión societaria del empresario, de las claves para su desarrollo, así como de la configuración corporativa de la empresa, sus exigencias y sus responsabilidades. Esta contribución se centra principalmente en la búsqueda deuna nueva orientación de la economía y del empresario en la sociedad.
