La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC), como resultado de un proceso que lleva ya varias décadas, hoy y cada vez más, es asumida e incorporada por las organizaciones como un valioso instrumento estratégico, en el cual la RSC engloba todas las decisiones organizacionales que son adoptadas y que tienen en cuenta tanto la dimensión económica como la dimensión social y la ambiental, de manera que sea posible generar valor económico y contribuir simultáneamente al bienestar de las generaciones presentes y futuras. De alguna manera, los principios y prácticas de RSC no serán desarrollados ni adoptados espontáneamente por las organizaciones sino en la medida de que las organizaciones dominantes (una élite, en el sentido del modelo del nuevo institucionalismo) encuentren interesante imponer su concepción particular sobre la calidad de la RSC (en el sentido de análisis de calidad de economía industrial). Existen estudios que demuestran que el respeto a mayores exigencias en materia de desarrollo sostenible por parte de una organización tiene un efecto positivo sobre su productividad, ya que existe una correlación positiva entre la Performance Social (PS) de las organizaciones y su Performance Financiera (PF) (Hitchens et al., 2001; Orlitzky et al., 2003; Allouche and Laroche, 2005; Margolis and Elfenbein, 2008). Y aunque los estudios empíricos no han encontrado un vínculo simple entre PS y PF, la hipótesis del “círculo virtuoso” prevalece: una mejor PS (prácticas de RSC) conduce a una mejor PF (Waddock and Graves, 1997). Por lo tanto la RSC se consolida como fuente de ventaja competitiva y herramienta de protección en momentos de crisis (Gomez Carrasco, 2012). Es así como, gracias a la mayor rentabilidad resultante de la implementación a nivel institucional de la RSC en el seno de su organización, las organizaciones dominantes del mercado impondrán sus principios y prácticas al resto de los actores del mercado...

Almost thirty years have passed since the City Council of Madrid approved the first Municipal Plan against Drugs, thus laying the foundations of the current commitment to offer assistance to drug addicts. A Service that has been continuously growing (in funding), maturing (in organizations) and diversifying (in actions) during these decades, in the same manner as the scenario in which these actions are deployed has been evolving. But, what can be said today about the status of drugaddiction intervention? This study adopts a sociological approach that starts with and is focused on what has been defined as the hegemonic vision on drug addiction, with the aim of studying (precisely and progressively) the different and most widely accepted theoretical-practical developments and to understand how certain conceptions or positions determine the form of this social fact. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to understand and evaluate the performative effects of certain practices, techniques and professionals on defining and addressing a reality that is in question and/or in conflict, as a social problem. In addition, this study is focused on identifying a series of fundamental elements to address what is understood as the state of the issue of drug addiction in depth (discourse of drugs Vs. discourse on drugs) in order to offer a series of sociological questions and insights to focus attention onto this reality. For this purpose, once its intentions have been defined and due to the social nature of the object under study, the present research deploys qualitative methodology as a tool for approximation, delimiting the scope that professional technicians assume regarding the issue in question as well as their own professional practices within their organizations. Thus, we have contacted certain public as well as non-governmental organizations with long-term experience in drug addiction, so as to find out first hand, in addition to their writings, the different meanings they find in the performance of their specific practice (micro) as well as the framework within which their practice is defined and materialised (macro) on a population defined or characterised by (drug) addiction...
