Sustentabilidade

Abstract

The concept of enterprise, according to Rubens Requião (2011), is defined by the unit that produces goods or services, in view of the development of economic activities aiming at profit. It also brings together three factors of production of the utmost importance to the economic system, the land factor - represented by natural resources - the capital factor - represented by money, machinery, equipment and technology - and the labor factor - represented by the human factor. Its economic system is generated by the social function, and ultimately the income generation that contributes to family income. It is also a factor organization that combines various elements such as primary or extractive, secondary or transformation systems and ultimately tertiary or service provider. It is a particular creation, having its own characteristics, features, and goals.
