O problema a investigar baseia-‐se na compreensão da tensão entre o acesso a medicamentos essencias em países em desenvolvimento e os direitos de propriedade intellectual, e a sua influência na estratégia de Responsabilidade Social de empresas multinacionais da indústria farmacêutica nos últimos anos. Com este objectivo, foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso, baseado na GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), uma empresa farmacêutica multinacional britânica, considerada a segunda maior do mundo e líder mundial no fornecimento de medicamentos para tratar as três doenças mais críticas nos países em desenvolvimento: HIV/SIDA, malária e tuberculose. A GSK foi a primeira empresa da indústria a considerar o acesso a medicamentos essenciais um assunto estratégico, tendo-‐o incorporado não só na estratégia de Responsabilidade Social da empresa mas também na estratégia global. O desafio enfrentado exemplifica como as práticas de responsabilidade social, quando encaradas de uma forma estratégica, podem simultaneamente criar valor económico e social.Pinheiro, Susana FrazãoVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaTorres, Rita Fonseca Santos Monteiro2013-11-08T11:31:21Z2013-09-1020132013-09-10T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/13195TID:201091305enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-10-03T01:38:14Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/13195Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:10:28.305650Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
