Subsidiarity holds that issues should be managed at the level closest to them

Evidence

Third, the principle of subsidiarity explains how companies create the common good (Sison and Fontrodona 2012). Managers must align and enhance the three levels of subsidiarity (individual or micro-level, organizational or meso-level and societal or macro-level), integrating them organically to achieve the common good of the firm (Sison and Fontrodona 2012). Subsidiarity refers to the principle that all social and economic issues should be dealt with and managed at the level closest to the problem and its resolution. The firm as a community is the subsidiary player acting as an “intermediary organization” between the State or society and the individual. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
