Can Business Do Good and Win? Hybrid Organizational Forms Explained

Dr. Martina Pasquini, Associate Professor of Strategy at IE Business School, discusses her research titled “For-Purpose Enterprises and Hybrid Organizational Forms: Implications for Governance and Strategy.” In this conversation, we explore how organizations balance their social purpose with strategic and economic objectives. The conversation examines how organizations combine commercial engines with social missions, embedding purpose into their core value proposition rather than treating it as a philanthropic add-on. Through examples such as Patagonia, Warby Parker, and Tony’s Chocolonely, Dr. Pasquini explains how firms navigate the tensions between social and commercial logics while scaling, protecting their mission, and maintaining credibility with stakeholders.
