The Enterprise as Community of Persons: The Case of Bimbo Group

Patricia Debeljuh

Chapter Chapter Seven in Finding Meaning in Business, 2012, pp 97-119 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In a business world in which the dominant organizational model is oriented toward the pursuit of shareholders’ wealth, it is unusual to find an organization that deviates from this paradigm. Yet there are economically successful organizations that are grounded on a broader, principle-based foundation. One example is the Bimbo Group, a large and successful business enterprise that is grounded on Catholic social thought principles. This chapter addresses the response to the “calling” of a company that, understanding in-depth the reaches of the business’s social responsibility, applied from its very beginnings the principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church. The objective of this present work is to present the Bimbo case in the light of a set of pre-positions that contribute to demonstrate the principles of the catholic doctrine over the social responsibilities of the enterprise.
