Sen’s capability approach emphasises the importance of freedom and choice in leading the life that one values. This paper
seeks to argue that, nonetheless, the capability approach is fully cognisant of the constraints that restrict individuals
from achieving capabilities. Since the achievement of capabilities is set within a social context, and also because the constraints
to capability-achievement are often of a social nature, it is useful to keep in mind the social context. An account of the
capability approach that places adequate stress on the constraints that confront individuals and the institutional context
will describe their situation more accurately; it will also be of more use for policy purposes. 相似文献

The globally generated concepts of environment and sustainability are fast gaining currency in international business discourse. Sustainability concerns are concurrently becoming significant to business planning around corporate social responsibility and integral to organizational strategies toward enhancing shareholder value. The mindset of corporate managers is a key factor in determining company approaches to sustainability. But what do corporate managers understand by sustainability? Our study explores discursive meaning negotiation surrounding the concepts of environment and sustainability within business discourse. The study is based on qualitative interpretive research drawing from symbolic interactionism (Blumer, Symbolic interactionism: perspective and method. Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, 1969) which postulates that meaning in discourse is an essentially contested domain dependent upon negotiation in the Habermasian tradition of mutually respectful dialogue (Habermas, The theory of communicative action: lifeworld and system: a critique of functionalist reason. Beacon Press, Boston 1987). Data from semi-structured intensive interviews of a small sample of senior corporate managers was analyzed to examine how corporate elites in India frame their approach to sustainability issues and respond to external pressures for deeper corporate responsibility. The findings point to the existence of a distinctively local narrative with strong potential for the discursive negotiation of personal and collective understanding of ethical and socio-cultural values that may help internalize broader sustainability considerations into corporate decision-making processes. 相似文献
