By way of introduction I have to say that I know little about the Focolari movement or the Economy of Communion group. This paper is offered on the assumption that the movement is dedicated to the radical transformation of society and not just tinkering at the edges in order to keep the economy as we know it going.

The purpose of this paper is to show the methodological power and potentiality of the concept paradigm of unity introduced originally in the ceremony on the occasion of honoring Chiara Lubich with the doctor honoris causa title by the Catholic University of Lublin in 1996. Originally this conception was used to suggest the societal activity of Chiara Lubich in building, via the Focolari movement, psychosocial infrastructures for unity in various social domains, (for example in the economy of communion, in politics (politicians for unity project), in public media (journalists for unity), in ecumenism and inter-religious contacts (ecumenical and inter-religion Focolari Centers) This conception is a kind of a great inspiration (a kind of Copernican revolution in the social sciences) which would motivate the social sciences to build their own research paradigm of a type of mental and methodological power and potentiality which could give a new vision of social world (as Copernicus did in natural sciences (Biela, 1996, 2006)). Thomas Kuhn (1962) regarded the Copernician revolution as the one which, in the history of science, best illustrates the nature of scientific revolution. The essence of paradigm in a Kuhnian sense is a mentality change in its nature. Copernicus had to change the well-established geocentric system which functioned not only in the science of his day but also in culture, tradition, social perception, and even in the mentality of religious and political authorities. And he did it in a well prepared empirical, methodological and psychological way. In a similar way Chiara Lubich created by her social acting a revolutionary inspiration for building paradigm in social science She decided in an extremely difficult and risky situation in 1944 in Trento not only to escape from her own life emergency but she with her friends made a decision to help other people who were in a much more difficult situation to survive. She decided to take a war bombing risk to be with lost children and older people who were in need. It was a practical building of the unity with the real people who were in need. This kind of experience rediscovered the community as a model for the real life and made a concretization and clarification of the charisma of the unity. However, the development of this charisma shows that it is simply a concrete and practical actualization of the new vision of social, economic, political and religious relationships which advises, recommends, suggests, and promotes the unity with others persons (Lubich, 2007).

Communion is a new form of business management that organizes help for people living in poverty, with the aim to reduce poverty and social inequality. The idea proposed in 1991 by Chiara Lubich among members of the worldwide Focolare Movement gained many supporters, and is implemented in 800 companies in several countries. Key questions are whether and how to help; identifying common causes of poverty – especially lack of appropriate interpersonal relationships – are ways out of poverty and social exclusion. Communion requires the involvement of not only entrepreneurs, but also business stakeholders, and creates new elements of organizational culture. Via a comparative analysis of the economy of communion with the social economy and corporate social responsibility, I examine the convergence of economy of communion with the Church’s social teaching.

The phenomenon of the social, economic, political, cultural, and spiritual activities of the Focolare Movement, implemented in the economy of communion businesses on the global scale for more than 20 years, inspired Biela to formulate the paradigm of unity concept to show its importance in the social sciences field (Biela 1996, 2005). The author of this research paper has expanded Biela’s concept on the basis of the new paradigm theoretical analysis in the social sciences field, particularly in management sciences, and has conducted an empirical investigation in 110 businesses of the economy of communion in 22 countries (Grochmal 2013). The need of essential mental and cultural changes by the entrepreneurs (managers), as well by the employees, in the management processes is presented in this paper according to the paradigm of unity. The necessity of these changes results from the fundamental assumptions of this same paradigm: from the new holistic look on the management process and interpersonal relationships between shareholders and stakeholders; from the personalistic treatment of each participant in the economic process; and from the role human, relational, and spiritual capitals play in the modern management

Dwie idee działań ekonomicznych: ekonomia komunii i ekonomia społeczna, starające się wypełnić lukę pomiędzy biznesem (ekonomia rynku) a państwem (dystrybucja dóbr), dążące do ograniczenia ubóstwa i wykluczenia społecznego, mają wiele cech wspólnych, a w niektórych aspektach istotnie się różnią. Artykuł umożliwia zrozumienie idei ekonomii komunii w odniesieniu do ekonomii społecznej i jej realizacji oraz wobec zadań biznesowych i społecznych, jakich podejmują się przedsiębiorcy ekonomii komunii. W artykule wykazano dużą zbieżność obydwu idei ekonomicznych oraz szanse na wzajemne uzupełnianie się i współdziałanie dla konkretnych celów społecznych.

Two ideas of economic activities, the economy of communion and the social economy, seeking to bridge the gap between business (market economy) and the State (distribution of goods), aiming to reduce poverty and social exclusion, have much in common, but in some aspects remain considerably different. This paper allows to understand the idea of the economy of communion in reference to the social economy, its implementation and in reference to social and business tasks which are undertaken by the entrepreneurs of economy of communion. A high similarity of both ideas and opportunities for economic complementarity and cooperation for specific social purposes are demonstrated in the paper.

Lubich was the initiator of Focolare Movement recognized by the Catholic Church. In addition, she was the initiator of the Economy of Communion which is based on a number of rules. Through the project Economy of Communion Lubich wanted to give aid people. Finance management of firms Economy of Communion is different from the ethical finance management of firms. However, there are similarities between them. In literature, finance management of firms Economy of Communion does not relate to ethical finance management of firms. There is a gap in this area. Hence the autor's pro-posal fill this gap.
