Strategies to Include Underserved Communities
(2024) Barros, Octavio Augusto Darcie de
The Strategic Management literature has long been interested in how organizational action impacts stakeholders and how firms contribute to dealing with social issues through their corporate social responsibility strategies. While early studies primarily focused on the benefits that firms themselves may gain from engaging in these activities, a more recent body of literature has delved into how different types of organizations contribute to value creation beyond profits, and to tackling societal grand challenges. In particular, a fluorescent research stream examines how organizations adapt their strategies when aiming to include stakeholders from underserved communities –i.e., low-income and vulnerable groups from remote locations facing constraints in terms of access to essential public and private goods and services. In this dissertation, I intend to advance current understanding of how organizations engage with underserved groups, how these interactions reshape organizational strategies, and the consequences of such relationships to the creation and allocation of value. The research is structured into three studies, each employing a different level of analysis, as well as various methodological approaches to contribute uniquely to distinct strands of literature. The first study adopts an entrepreneur-level perspective, focusing on the effects of business training on stakeholders from underserved communities, and the importance of individuals’ digital literacy levels in mediating the effectiveness of such programs. Overall, this study questions the efficacy of digital technologies in bolstering business activities, proposing that, in contexts of vulnerability, those tools should be approached with caution and via the implementation of designs that are specifically adapted to the needs of the target populations. The second study takes a firm- and market-level approach, engaging with the comparative governance literature, to examine how stakeholder participation in organizational decision-making processes affects firms’ entry-and-exit decisions under uncertainty. Specifically, we compare the physical presence in vulnerable markets from credit cooperatives –organizations in which clients (borrowers) are also owners— with that of for-profit and state-owned banks in the context of accelerated digitalization of the banking sector. The third study undertakes an institutional perspective while also examining firm-level heterogeneities, aiming to dialogue with the literature on corporate philanthropy. In this solo-authored project, I analyze the outcomes of the introduction of a public policy aimed at reducing search costs and increasing the scale and equitable distribution of philanthropic investments and the importance of firm-level attributes in influencing organizational response to this institutional transition. Through these diverse methodological and theoretical lenses, this dissertation aims to deepen the overall understanding of the multiple dimensions related to the social impact generated by organizations.
