Impacto da responsabilidade social da Mozal no desenvolvimento de pequenos negócios

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze corporate social responsibility as a strategy for the development of small businesses, more specifically AMDC's support to the surrounding communities of Fundição Moçambique Alumínios, Lda. (MOZAL). In order to pursue the proposed objectives, a case study was carried out with the aforementioned institution and community, obviously resorting to bibliographic consultation for data collection and theoretical support. The development of small businesses in the Beluluane region, Boane district in Maputo province, with the support of Fundição MOZAL, through the empowerment of people organized in associations, has played a very important role in the emergence and development of entrepreneurship in the region. However, this support could be increased and extended also to the initiatives of individuals or small and medium entrepreneurs. However, the support of Fundição Mozal for the development of small businesses in the community should not be taken in isolation, and there should be incentives for entrepreneurship in the region, in addition to the involvement of other stakeholders for the sustainability of microenterprises with the generation of chains of product and value.
