Mankind and the earth cope several severe socio-natural crises which threaten life sustainability. Within this reality, both the framework modernity / capitalism / development as a whole and transnational companies are implied. Due to the relevance of the subject, it is precisely in that direction the guiding inquiry of this work is proposed, namely: is the transnational business organization a triggering of development, or; conversely it is responsible for civilizatory crisis in general and social crisis in different social-natural contexts? In this regard, the argued thesis is the following: insofar as transnational corporations get constitute as institutions framed in and inheritor of the fundamentals of the capitalistic-developmentalist modernity they contribute to promote civilizatory crisis in general and social crisis in particular Finally it is spotlighted that the study privileged a constructivist / interpretative paradigm, consequently, a qualitative methodology was implemented. The processes for argumentative texts construction, documentary research-analysis methods and interviews to experts were used. Data analysis was addressed by grounded theory.
