          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Purpose: This theoretical essay aims to explore sustainable consumption, emphasizing the sharing of representations with business proposals and government policies. Originality/value: Through consumption, gains in quality of life and forms of social insertion are created by social businesses. Studies on social representations can indicate the sharing of views between different social actors, such as companies, governments and consumers. The text continues with a discussion on the theory of social representations and the dynamics of sustainable consumption. Social representations guide the views, actions, and attitudes of individuals, including when it comes to insertion in the dynamics of consumption. Subsequently, business proposals for the base of the pyramid are highlighted, discussing different possible scenarios for their relationships with consumers and government policies. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical essay is characterized by the development of theory as a conceptual production, in which logic takes the place of data for evaluation and elaboration of propositions. Findings: A greater or lesser sharing of representations allows for the design of different possible scenarios for the relationships between consumers with a moralistic or hedonistic vision, social or traditional business proposals, and governments with policies for sustainable or spurious development. Finally, propositions about the existence of gaps between the representations of the needs of consumers oriented towards sustainable development, value propositions of social businesses, and government instruments in emerging markets are mentioned.

          RESUMO Objetivo: O presente ensaio teórico tem o objetivo de explorar o consumo sustentável, enfatizando o compartilhamento de representações com as propostas de negócios e políticas governamentais. Originalidade/valor: Por meio do consumo, ganhos em qualidade de vida e formas de inserção social são criados pelos negócios sociais. Os estudos sobre representações sociais podem indicar o compartilhamento de visões entre diferentes atores sociais, tais como empresas, governos e consumidores. O texto segue com uma discussão sobre a teoria das representações sociais e as dinâmicas de consumo sustentável. As representações sociais orientam as visões, ações e posturas dos indivíduos, inclusive quando se trata da inserção nas dinâmicas de consumo. Posteriormente, destacam-se as propostas de negócios para a base da pirâmide e discutem-se os diferentes cenários possíveis para as suas relações com os consumidores e as políticas governamentais. Design/metodologia/abordagem: O ensaio teórico se caracteriza pelo desenvolvimento de teoria como uma produção conceitual, na qual a lógica assume o lugar dos dados para avaliação e elaboração de proposições. Resultados: O maior ou o menor compartilhamento de representações permite o desenho de diferentes cenários possíveis para as relações entre consumidores com uma visão moralista ou hedonista, propostas de negócios sociais ou tradicionais e governos com políticas para desenvolvimento sustentável ou espúrio. Por fim, são lançadas proposições de que existem lacunas entre as representações das necessidades dos consumidores orientados ao desenvolvimento sustentável, das propostas de valor dos negócios sociais e dos instrumentos governamentais nos mercados emergentes.
