Este artículo describe una herramienta para evaluar la sustentabilidad de la construcción en micro empresas o empresas pequeñas de la construcción. Durante los últimos años han ocurrido grandes transformaciones en micro empresas o pequeñas empresas de la construcción. La sustentabilidad es relevante, debido al impacto ambiental producido por el sector de la construcción. La introducción de medidas innovadoras, generalmente ocurre en empresas constructoras de mediano o gran tamaño, a pesar que la cantidad de micro empresas y pequeñas empresas representan el mayor número de esta actividad. Se propone una herramienta ajustable a un contexto menor. Al emplear una muestra de edificaciones, la herramienta demuestra ser adecuada, porque logra ser comprendida y ser útil para los usuarios, con diferente nivel de educación y conocimiento sobre sustentabilidad. This paper describes a tool to assess building sustainability on micro and small building firms. In recent years occurred great transformations in design and management phases of buildings. Sustainability is very important because the environmental impact of building sector. The application of innovations generally occurs only in mid or large building companies, however the micro and small building companies represent the majority of the companies.

Los Arreglos Productivos Locales (APLs) han sido considerados importantes mecanismos de agregación de esfuerzos, especialmente en el ámbito de las micro y pequeñas empresas (MPEs), que han tratado de aprovecharse de esa herramienta para buscar inserción en cadenas productivas de grandes empresas en diversos sectores de actividad. En ese contexto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar y analizar las principales ventajas y dificultades de inserción encontradas por las MPEs participantes y no participantes del APL de petróleo, gas y energía en el municipio de Duque de Caxias. La investigación, cuya metodología asumió carácter descriptivo y exploratorio, se valió de una revisión de la literatura y de un levantamiento de datos que entrevistó 58 pequeños empresarios de un universo de 800 MPEs. Las conclusiones apuntan para una discordancia entre la política empleada por el APL y la realidad del escenario actual de las MPEs locales, lo que queda evidenciado por las exigencias a las que son sometidas, las que han aumentado las dificultades de inserción en la cadena productiva de Petróleo, Gas y Energía. Se constató además la necesidad de mayor coordinación entre los órganos fomentadores y los responsables por las directrices políticas en el sentido de mejorar las condiciones para que un número mayor de empresas pueda capacitarse para formar parte del APL.

Muito se tem dito e escrito sobre as peculiaridades da administração estratégica nas micro e pequenas empresas (MPE). Pouco, entretanto, tem sido feito em termos de trabalho empírico, de cunho quantitativo, quando comparado com o volume de pesquisa que trata de grandes empresas. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo buscou explorar o processo de formação de estratégias nessas empresas, descrevendo seus principais aspectos e, principalmente, verificando se há características desse processo que podem ser associadas a níveis de desempenho acima (e/ou abaixo) da média. Para tanto, utilizou-se a análise de regressão linear múltipla para entender as relações existentes entre as variáveis do processo de formação da estratégia consideradas no estudo e o desempenho; e, ainda, a análise discriminante para determinar os indicadores que diferenciam os grupos de empresas com desempenho acima e abaixo da média. Os resultados apontaram uma tendência à utilização de processos de formação de estratégia deliberados e formais. Por outro lado, reconhecemos também, uma tendência de inovação e mudança. O desempenho acima da média das micro e pequenas empresas, ao que parece, é resultado de uma receita balanceada desses dois ingredientes. Much has been said on the peculiarities of strategic management in micro and small companies, however, little has been done regarding empirical, quantitative work, when compared with the amount of research that addresses large companies. The present work explores the process of strategy formation in these companies and describes their main aspects. A verification is carried out to ascertain if there are characteristics of this process that can be associated to performance levels. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to better understand the existing relationships between variables of the same process of strategy formation considered in the study and the performance; the discriminating analysis was used to determine the indicators that distinguish the groups of companies with performance above and below the average. The results pointed a trend to the utilization of deliberate and formal processes of strategy formation. On the other hand, we also recognize a tendency of innovation and change. The performance above average of the micro and small companies, what it seems, is resulted of a balanced prescription of these two ingredients.

The aim of this assessment was to analyze the social responsibility concept applied to both micro and small companies because of limits and managerial practices and thus determine the linkage with sustainable development. The bibliography referred to the analysis and settlement of the socially responsible behaviorism of enterprises, and companies and Universities was reviewed. However the reaffirmation arises in which Social Responsibility Management is still incipient regardless the size or nature of companies. Labor legislation is one of the most injurious when to international agreements is concerned; labor rights are no longer guarantied on the entrepreneur practice. When to environmental legislation is concerned, it is applied only to the medium and large enterprises having information asymmetry. On the other hand population has no collective conscious for consumption so there’s is a social pressure on manage social responsibility in this context In this country micro and small enterprises become a main motor for companies by by creating labor and income conditions for the poorest and thus become social agents on participative processes. There is a conclusion that Management social responsibility on micro and small companies has no implication when to environmental, social standards, are concerned., El propósito del estudio fue abordar el concepto de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), aplicado en la práctica de la Micro y Pequeña Empresa (MYPE), a la luz de los avances y limitaciones de las prácticas empresariales responsables y determinar su particular vinculación con el desarrollo sostenible. De la revisión bibliográfica referida al análisis y evaluación de RSE que diversas instituciones, empresas y universidades han venido realizando sobre el comportamiento socialmente responsable de las empresas en el Perú, se ha llegado a la constatación que la RSE es aún una práctica incipiente en el accionar de las empresas, cualquiera sea su tamaño y naturaleza. La legislación laboral es una de las más lesivas en relación a los convenios y acuerdos internacionales; los derechos laborales no están garantizados en la práctica empresarial. En relación a la legislación sobre el medio ambiente, ésta se aplica especialmente en la mediana y gran empresa como autorregulación, con códigos de conducta empresarial específicos y cuyos sistemas de monitoreo no siempre se encuentran disponibles o actualizados. Por parte de la población, tampoco hay una conciencia colectiva de consumo que ejerce presión social o con poder de negociación por el cumplimiento de compromisos de RSE. Considerando que en nuestro país las MYPE son el principal motor de la economía al crear las condiciones de empleo e ingresos para amplios sectores de la población, especialmente los más pobres, y se constituyen como agentes del cambio social en los procesos participativos, se ha constatado que los aspectos fundamentales de la RSE como desempeño medioambiental, cumplimiento de estándares sociales, imagen frente a la comunidad, vinculación empresa comunidad, no tienen ninguna incidencia en las estructuras de gestión de las MYPE.
