Resumen
In a society where economic growth is isolated from social growth, a marginal
quality life is likely to be observed, largely marked by social exclusion
and lack of social belonging, where unemployment, poverty, displacement,
etc., are phenomena that threat the competitive and productive processes of
Colombia in the long term. In a way, the government, through its institutions,
has worked on reducing these anomalies, obtaining few significant results,
and in some way is understandable when speaking of 48.3% of people living
in poverty and 12% of unemployment rate [DANE, 2009].
In this context, private businesses have an important role; a group of organizations
that set a new trend on thought in three parts: social in its vision,
public in its image, and private in its operation [Restrepo, 2009]. This new
alternative of adaptation creates spaces for the application of a model that
measures the social cohesion exerted by the company, and therefore, a network
that would generate more impact on social growth, impact that is comparable
with its economic growth.
