ARTICLE 1 - Hybridization of diverging institutional logics through common-note practices An analogy with music and the case of social enterprises - ABSTRACT - Hybrid organizations exhibit high degree of innovativeness, but also instability due to the conflicting institutional logics underpinning their activities. We enrich the discussion on how to reconcile conflicting logics in hybrid organizations using the analogy with music theory. In particular, we get inspiration from a technique used to modulate conflicting harmonies by means of the notes they have in common (common-notes) to derive ideas on how to compose conflicting logics by means of the practices they have in common. We illustrate these ideas in the specific case of social enterprises, showing that practices able to “unblock” a marginalized individual’s value creation capabilities can be considered common-note practices allowing the social enterprise to fruitfully and sustainably combine commercial and social welfare logics. ARTICLE 2 - Made in Carcere: Freedom through empowerment for convicted women! - ABSTRACT - In this paper we analyze the case of Made in Carcere, an innovative social enterprise that creates and shares social and economic value with one of the most disadvantaged stakeholder groups in society: convicted women. Relying on an extensive database that covers eight years of activity, we propose a micro-level analysis of the processes adopted by Made in Carcere to empower its target stakeholders. We show that this complex effort is successfully unfolded through two macro-processes: the creation and management of a safe space, and allowing convicted women to reach and experience the external environment. Our work provides evidence of an exceptional organization that successfully confronts the restrictive and disempowering setting of prisons by empowering women through an innovative approach of human integral development. ARTICLE 3 - Mechanisms and boundaries of collective action in social entrepreneurship. - ABSTRACT - New frontiers in social entrepreneurship research are moving from the idea of the social entrepreneur as a single individual in favour of a larger model based on a multiplicity of subjects. In this paper we aim at moving this perspective onward and claim we should adopt a higher level of analysis considering the collective of subjects mobilized by the entrepreneur(s) to be really able to capture the social impact of the undertaken economic activity. Moreover, using a case study, we identify two mechanisms useful to draw the boundaries of such collective, the unit of analysis at the basis of this new perspective.

Les emprenedories socials, organitzacions que persegueixen tant una missió social com comercial, han experimentat un augment tant en la investigació com en la pràctica durant les últimes dues dècades. Diversos grups de actors i beneficiaris estan recorrent a aquest tipus d'organització per respondre a reptes urgents a la societat. Combinar la recerca d'un impacte social positiu amb una emprenedoria comercial pot crear tensions en reunir dues forces oposades que porten els seus propis valors, metes, i estratègies. Tot i que la investigació de les tensions que es deriven de la combinació de les lògiques socials i comercials ha rebut gran atenció a la literatura, no queda clar quins altres tipus de tensions poden sorgir en les empreses socials i com es poden gestionar aquestes tensions. Aquesta tesi doctoral, basada en les teories de les organitzacions híbrides, la coopetició i els models de negoci, pretén posar de manifest els tipus de tensions que les emprenedories socials poden experimentar en diferents nivells d'anàlisi. A través d'estudis de casos i mètodes qualitatius, examina les formes en què les empreses socials poden interactuar entre si a nivell inter-organitzacional, com les organitzacions combinen diferents estils en crear noves emprenedories socials a nivell d'empresa, i com els gerents gestionen les tensions que sorgeixen de la combinació de les lògiques socials i comercials a nivell individual. Aquesta tesi pretén aportar implicacions tant per la teoria com per a la pràctica.

Esta tesis doctoral, basada en las teorías de las organizaciones híbridas, la coopetición y los modelos de negocio, pretende poner de manifiesto los tipos de tensiones que los emprendimientos sociales pueden experimentar en diferentes niveles de análisis. A través de estudios de casos y métodos cualitativos, examina las formas en que las empresas sociales pueden interactuar entre sí a nivel interorganizacional, cómo las organizaciones combinan diferentes estilos al crear nuevos emprendimientos sociales a nivel de empresa, y cómo los gerentes gestionan las tensiones que surgen de la combinación de las lógicas sociales y comerciales a nivel individual. Esta tesis pretende aportar implicaciones tanto para la teoría como para la práctica.
Social enterprises, organizations that pursue both a social and commercial mission, have seen a rise both in research and practice over the past couple of decades. Diverse groups of stakeholders are turning toward this type of organization to respond to pressing challenges in society. Combining the pursuit of positive social impact with a business venture can create tensions from bringing together two opposing forces that bring their own values, goals, and strategies. Although the study of tensions that arise from combining social and business logics has received extensive attention in the literature, it remains unclear what other types of tensions can arise in social enterprises and how those tensions can be managed. Drawing on the theoretical lenses of hybrid organizations, coopetition, and business models, this doctoral thesis aims to bring to light types of tensions that social enterprises can experience at different levels of analysis. Through case studies and qualitative methods, it examines the ways social enterprises can interact with each other at the inter-organizational level, how organizations combine different styles when creating new social enterprises at the firm level, and how leaders manage tensions that arise from combining social and commercial logics at the individual level. This thesis aspires to provide implications both for theory and practice.

As empresas, centrais no modelo de desenvolvimento capitalista, estão sendo questionadas sobre suas ações na resolução de problemas da sociedade e sobre a tradicional orientação ao desempenho financeiro. Como resposta, novos modelos organizacionais buscam articulações capazes de criar um elo entre o lucro e o interesse socioambiental. Citado como exemplo do conceito de organizações híbridas, o Movimento B Corp torna-se um rico objeto de estudo para a compreensão das alternativas de revisão da atuação das organizações. Com o mote principal de \"redefinir o conceito de sucesso nos negócios\", envolve as frentes de certificação, legislação e investimento de impacto. O presente estudo descritivo-exploratório, de caráter qualitativo e base interpretativa-construtivista, buscou compreender melhor a identidade deste movimento à luz do conceito emergente de organizações híbridas, na esteira de tendências e conceitos que visam tratar o papel socioambiental das organizações. Para responder a pergunta de pesquisa se e como as Empresas B (B Corp) constituem um modelo de hibridismo organizacional, esta pesquisa envolveu uma abordagem multimétodos de coleta, codificação e análise dos dados na combinação de duas etapas de investigação. A primeira etapa - Retrato do Movimento B Corp - buscou entender seus significados a partir da percepção dos atores envolvidos, no Brasil e Estados Unidos, incluindo um conjunto de 12 entrevistas com representantes do movimento, líderes de empresas B certificadas ou com potencial de certificação e acadêmico. A segunda etapa - Retrato das Empresas B no Brasil - possibilitou traçar o perfil das empresas certificadas no País por meio da análise de dados secundários das comunicações institucionais nos seus websites próprios e do movimento. Por meio dos resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa, percebe-se que a certificação pode ser considerada uma evolução dos mecanismos de prestação de contas ao incluir as etapas de comprovação das informações, auditoria, compromisso legal e identificação pelo selo concedido. A inclusão de cláusulas específicas que incluem os interesses dos stakeholders nos documentos legais torna-se um dos principais diferenciais e aspecto simbólico do movimento. No entanto, não é possível afirmar que representa um novo modelo de organização ou tipo ideal de hibridismo organizacional, mas de um caminho nessa intenção. O grupo de empresas estudadas engloba uma abrangência maior de níveis de hibridismo organizacional, valorizando a forma como os negócios são conduzidos, mas não, necessariamente, sua atividade-fim e sua missão socioambiental como orientadora do modelo de negócios. A heterogeneidade de empresas certificadas é uma das principais características do movimento e, ao mesmo tempo, um dos grandes desafios para sua distinção. O posicionamento ideológico e a atração de investidores de impacto são os principais motivadores para a certificação, que é percebida como uma forma de conferir legitimidade ao diferencial socioambiental das empresas. A percepção de ser uma marca pouco conhecida e de falta de benefícios práticos figura entre as principais fragilidades compensadas pelo fato de pertencer a uma comunidade que partilha dos mesmos valores e o potencial de networking e parcerias. Ao fornecer uma visão panorâmica e analítica sobre o movimento, estaa pesquisa serve como ponto de partida para estudos futuros e para o desenvolvimento do conceito de organizações híbridas.
Businesses and enterprises as key elements in the capitalist development model are actually being questioned about their actions in the resolution of society\'s problems and regarding their traditional focus on financial performance. New organizational models seek to produce articulations capable of creating a bond between profit and socio-environmental interest. Many authors cite the B Corp Movement as one of the main examples of the concept of hybrid organizations. It then becomes a rich object of study to understand the alternatives for reviewing organizational practices. One of its main mottos is \"to redefine the success in business\". The Movement operates in three main areas: certification, law and impact investment. This descriptive-exploratory and qualitative study, based on an interpretative-constructivist paradigm, aims to better understand the identity of the B Corp Movement according to the emerging concept of hybrid organizations, following other trends and definitions that seek to treat the socioenvironmental role of business. To answer the research questions - If and how B Corps are a model of organizational hybridity -, this research involved a multi-method approach of information collection, codification and analysis in a combination of two investigation phases. The first phase - A Portrait of the B Corp Movement - looked to comprehend the meanings from their actors\' perspective. The fieldwork consisted of 12 interviews with main stakeholders in Brazil and the United States, such as the movement representatives, leaders of certified B Corps and prospect enterprises. The second phase - A Portrait of Certified Companies - enabled to profile the Brazilian certified business through secondary data analysis. The sources for the analyzed material were the websites, made available on the internet by them, and their profiles on the global and regional website of the B Corp Community. From the results of this research, the certification can be perceived as an evolution of social and environmental accountability mechanisms, by including steps of information evidences, auditing, legal commitment and seal/certification identification. The inclusion of the interests of stakeholders in legal documents is one of the key differentiators and symbolic aspect of the movement. However, it is still not possible to say that they represent a new organizational model or an ideal type of hybrid organization, but rather a path on this intention. The studied group of enterprises comprises a larger scope on organizational hybridity levels, placing more emphasis the way businesses are conducted, but not necessarily their core business, main-activities or social mission as a guide for business model. It can be noticed the heterogeneity of certified companies as one of the main characteristics of the movement and, at the same time, one of their biggest challenges to be distinguished. The ideological positioning and impact investment attraction are the main motivating factors for a company to certify. Earning the seal is perceived as a way to ensure legitimacy for a socioenvironmental differential. The low awareness of B Corp as a brand and the lack practical benefits are among the main weaknesses, compensated by being part of a shared values community and the potential for network and partnerships. By providing a panoramic and analytical overview of the movement, this study serves as a starting point for future researches related to the subject and for the development of the concept of hybrid organizations.

This paper proposes a contingency theory of institutional entrepreneurship. Institutional entrepreneurship has emerged to explain how agency can be incorporated within institutional theory. Following existing literature on the “paradox of embedded agency”, we build on the definition of the conditions that enable actors to pursue their best interests by creating, modifying or disrupting existing institutions, namely the position in the organizational field, in the organizational hierarchy and in the intraorganizational network. We discuss the existence of different kinds of institutions, each requiring for individuals a specific amount of resources (ability) and interest (willingness) for change. We build on the categorization of institutions related to the actors who make the rule (being that the state or some other entity) and to the way in which such rule is enacted and throught which is enforced (centralized or decentralized), thus identifying public-centralized, private-centralized and private-decentralized institutions. We propose for each kind of institution the enabling conditions that, by providing for both the ability and willingness, make an individual more likely to promote divergent change. The process of emergence of social enterprises has been relatively overlooked by organizational and management literature. Nonetheless, to address many of the contemporary societal challenges and promote social change, these organizational forms have recently been flourishing. We theoretically explore how such process of creation unfolds, identifying the external challenges these organizations face and the strategies they need to pursue to enable their emergence. Through anecdotal evidence, we suggest that this process may call first for the deinstitutionalization of existing institutional logics and then for a legitimacy building at three levels (pragmatic, moral and cognitive). We discuss contributions for research related to institutional logics, social and institutional entrepreneurship and liability of newness for a new organizational form. Building on extant literature on institutional logics, we investigate the effect of logic multiplicity on organizational mission performance. In particular, we theorize that - irrespectively of the nature of the logics at play - an increase in their sheer number triggers negative effects for organizational mission performance, in view of the challenges caused by logics’ jurisdictional overlap and degree of centrality. However, we also argue that this negative effect applies up to a certain point, after which positive effects on organizational mission performance may spur from the possibility to recombine the many more organizational elements brought by the higher number of logics at hand, increasing innovation. Also, we see whether the efficiencyenhancing elements of being a for-profit affect the concave relationship between logic multiplicity and performance discussed above. We examine these three points in the context of the US healthcare industry by looking at over 300 long-term care California hospitals between 2008-2013. Our results show for hybrid organizations a concave relationship between the number of logics they incorporate and their mission performance, pointing first at the negative and then at the positive effects of logic multiplicity. These findings contribute to literature on institutional logics, paradox theory and hybrid organizations.

Today the world faces a lot of societal challenges in the economical, social and environmental spheres that needs to be overcome. Global warming, poverty and increasing economic inequality are only some of these challenges. The public debate has been focused on finding solutions to them and one of these has been addressed as social entrepreneurship. This phenomenon is about the era of the new type of entrepreneurs – social entrepreneurs – that recognize these challenges as opportunities that can be exploited in a both profitable and sustainable manner. Social entrepreneurship has in this way emerged as an interesting phenomenon and a new area in the entrepreneurship research.

 

This study examines the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship by scrutinizing the concept SIFE - Students In Free Enterprise. SIFE is a non-profit organization that claims to be actively engaged in working with social entrepreneurship. The general purpose of this study is to bring a deeper understanding of the social entrepreneurship phenomenon, by describing the particular purpose, the case of SIFE Umeå University as a social entrepreneurship model. Our study is a qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews. Six respondents have been interviewed from different levels of the organization - SIFE Umeå University - in order to reflect the entire organization. We have used a deductive approach by establishing a theoretical framework that guided the interviews and has been used in the analysis of the empirical data.

 

The main conclusions in this study show that SIFE Umeå University’s work with social entrepreneurship is mainly about socioeconomic and personal development. Another conclusion is that cooperation with partners from different sectors of the society is an important fundament in their work with social entrepreneurship. Furthermore, SIFE Umeå University can be considered as hybrid of a voluntary organization and social enterprise since it includes similarities of both organizational forms. Moreover, the study shows that entrepreneurial skills play an important role in SIFE Umeå University’s work with social entrepreneurship. Finally, we can from this study draw the conclusion that SIFE Umeå University’s work with social entrepreneurship can be divided in six steps: Target group, Job/life training, Commercial enterprises, Personal development, Socioeconomic development, Partnership Network.

Hybrid organizations combine the structure and culture of for-profit companies with the commitment to social good of non-profit organizations. This structure enables them to address social problems in an economically sustainable manner and to capitalize on consumer demand for responsibly-made products. While hybrids must strike a delicate balance to achieve their profit, social, and environment targets, some degree of quantitative growth is necessary in order for them to have the impact they seek and return value to all their stakeholders. Recent literature on hybrid organizations does not focus on the different stages of a company's life-cycle nor does it address the challenges of successfully maintaining a hybrid structure over the course of a company's development. Combining this idea of specific strategic phases with the Hybrid Organization's Sustainability- Driven Business Model presented by Hoffman et a/ (in press, 2011), we can explore economic growth strategies for hybrids while identifying the tensions inherent to or amplified by the hybrid growth process. I built four case studies which identify thirteen tensions experienced as hybrid organizations grow. Based on how these companies addressed the challenge of maintaining economic growth while minimizing mission drift, I concluded that it is possible to maintain triple bottom line values and practices during growth, although there is considerable risk that a company will adopt a more conventional business model. The decision to grow a hybrid organization depends on the goals of the founders, but a strategic partnership with an existent traditional business group was found to be particularly useful as a financial growth strategy. With my thesis, I offer a contribution to practice based on uncovering the root causes of growth tensions for hybrid organizations and a contribution to the literature which builds upon Hoffman's model.

Social Entrepreneurship (SE) has attracted growing interest from a wide variety of actors over the last 30 years, especially due to a general agreement that it could be an important tool for tackling many of the world’s social ills. In the academic sphere, this growing interest did not translate into a matured field of study. Quite the opposite, a quick look at this literature makes it evident that: SE has been consistently subjected to numerous theoretical discussions and disagreements, especially over the definition of the concept of SE which is often based on a taken-for-granted notion of social change; it has been more systematically investigated in restricted contexts, often leaving aside so called developing/emerging countries like Brazil and especially lacking in-depth qualitative studies; SE literature lags behind SE practices and few studies focus on how SE actually occurs in a daily and bottom-up manner. In order to address such gaps, this thesis examines how social entrepreneurship practices accomplish social change in the context of Brazil. In this investigation I conducted an inductive practicebased, qualitative/ethnographic study in three Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) located in different cities in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. Data collection lasted from February 2014 until March 2015 and was mainly done through participant observations and through in-depth unstructured conversations with research participants. Secondary data and documents were also collected whenever available. The participants of this study included a variety of the studied organizations’ stakeholders: two founders, volunteers, employees, donors and beneficiaries. Observation data was kept in fieldnotes, conversations were recorded whenever possible and were later transcribed. Data was analyzed through an iterative thematic analysis. Through this I identified eight recurrent themes in the data: (1) structure; (2) relationship with other organizational actors (sub-themes: relationship with state, relationship with businesses and relationship with other NGOs); (3) beliefs, spirituality and moral authority; (4) social position of participants, (5) stakeholders’ mobilization and participation; (6) feelings; (7) social purpose; and (8) social change. These findings were later discussed under the lens of practice theory, and in this discussion I argue and show that, in the context studied: (a) even though SE embraces a wide variety of different social purposes, they are intertwined with a common notion of social change based on a general understanding and aspiration for social equality; (b) this social change is accomplished in a processual and ongoing manner as stakeholders from antagonistic social groups felt compelled to and participated in SE practices. In answering the proposed research question the contributions of this thesis are: (i) the elaboration a working definition for SE based on its relationship with social change; (ii) providing in-depth empirical evidence which accounts for and explains this relationship; (iii) characterizing SE in the Brazilian context and reflecting upon its transferability to other contexts. This thesis also makes a methodological contribution, for it demonstrates how thematic analysis can be used in practice-based studies.
O Empreendedorismo Social (SE) tem atraído um interesse crescente de uma ampla variedade de atores ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, especialmente devido a um entendimento de que o mesmo seria uma ferramenta importante para lidar com os problemas sociais do mundo. No âmbito acadêmico, este interesse não se traduziu em um campo de estudos maduro. Muito pelo contrário, um rápido olhar para esta literatura torna evidente que: a mesma tem sido constantemente submetida a inúmeras divergências, especialmente sobre a definição do conceito de SE, que é muitas vezes baseada em uma noção não explicada de mudança social; ele foi mais sistematicamente investigado em contextos restritos, muitas vezes deixando de lado os chamados países em desenvolvimento ou emergentes como o Brasil, em especial, nota-se uma falta de estudos qualitativos aprofundados nos mesmos; a literatura sobre SE se encontra defasada em relação às suas práticas, e poucos estudos se concentram em como o SE ocorre de forma diária e bottom-up. A fim de mitigar essas lacunas, esta tese examina como práticas de SE realizam mudança social no contexto do Brasil. Nesta investigação realizei um estudo indutivo/qualitativo baseado em práticas em três Organizações Não-Governamentais (ONGs) localizadas em diferentes cidades do estado de São Paulo. A coleta de dados durou de fevereiro 2014 até março de 2015 e foi feita principalmente por meio de observações participantes e de conversas não-estruturadas. Dados e documentos secundários também foram coletadas sempre que disponíveis. Os participantes deste estudo incluíram uma variedade de partes interessadas das organizações estudadas: dois fundadores, voluntários, funcionários, doadores e beneficiários. Dados de observações foram mantidos em diários de campo, conversas foram gravadas sempre que possível e foram posteriormente transcritas. Os dados foram analisados por meio de uma análise temática iterativa. Por meio desta, identifiquei oito temas recorrentes nos dados: (1) estrutura; (2) a relação com outros atores organizacionais; (3) crenças, espiritualidade e autoridade moral; (4) a posição social dos participantes, (5) a mobilização e participação das partes interessadas; (6) sentimentos; (7) finalidade social; e (8) a mudança social. Estes resultados foram posteriormente discutidos sob a ótica da teoria de práticas, e nesta discussão argumento e mostro que, no contexto estudado: (a) embora o SE abrace uma ampla variedade de diferentes fins sociais, eles estão interligados com uma noção comum de mudança social baseada em uma compreensão geral e aspiração pela igualdade social; (b) esta mudança social é realizada de forma processual e contínua, enquanto partes interessadas de grupos sociais antagônicos sentiam-se compelidos e participavam das práticas de SE. Ao responder à pergunta de pesquisa proposta, as contribuições desta tese são: (i) a elaboração de uma definição de SE com base em sua relação com a mudança social; (ii) o fornecimento de evidências empíricas que explicam esta relação; (iii) a caracterização do SE no contexto brasileiro e uma reflexão sobre a sua transferência para outros contextos. Esta tese também faz uma contribuição metodológica, pois demonstra como análise temática pode ser usada em estudos baseados em práticas.

Social entrepreneurship and social venturing are important for the survival of many transforming non-profit organizations (NPOs). Unfortunately, knowledge is limited about appropriate social venture business models for these transforming NPOs. In this thesis the aim is to address this research gap by establishing a typology of social venture business model configurations based on the characteristics and effective types of business model configurations that transforming NPOs in developing countries can adopt; by establishing the construct validity of the characteristics in the typology; and by further empirically testing the typology using a taxonomic analysis. In doing so, the social entrepreneurship and business model literature is extended.

The increasing demands of efficiency and effectiveness in the public sector encourage political leaders and policy makers to adopt and apply advanced techniques and solutions to overcome flaws in public organizational performance. Entrepreneurship was introduced in several Western countries as a way to improve their processes and management through adopting private sector management principles and market-oriented techniques. In 2015, Saudi Arabia announced its 2030 vision, which introduced hundreds of innovative and creative initiatives aiming to overcome issues of the turbulent environment, future oil depletion, budgetary pressures, and public demands for efficiency and effectiveness. Building on interdisciplinary perspectives, this study investigates entrepreneurial orientation among Saudi public employees from all administrative regions across the country. Building on McClelland's theory of motivation, this study hypothesizes that the motives of need for achievement, need for affiliation, and need for power are positively associated with entrepreneurial behavior. It also hypothesizes that excessive organizational hierarchy, formalization, and lack of autonomy constrain employees' entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, this study adopts a sociological perspective in proposing solutions for facilitating entrepreneurial orientation among public employees by hypothesizing that human and social capital promote an entrepreneurial orientation. Multiple regression analysis reveals that Saudi public employees with a higher level of need for achievement and need for power tend to be more entrepreneurial, while need for affiliation fails to predict entrepreneurial orientation. Furthermore, the findings suggest that a high level of hierarchy and formalization in public organizations is negatively associated to entrepreneurial orientation, while a high level of autonomy is positively associated with entrepreneurial orientation. Finally, the study finds that employees with a high level of breadth and depth of experience (human capital) are more likely to be entrepreneurial, while a high level of bonding social capital and bridging social capital promote a negative and a positive entrepreneurial orientation, respectively.

The social problems that exist within South Africa cannot be ignored. The magnitude of poverty, unemployment and crime that exist are ever increasing while HIV/Aids has left 10 percent of the children within this country orphaned. Discrepancies in the access to proper healthcare and education between the private sector and the public sector is evident, mainly due to the failure of the public sector (government) to effectively implement and manage the healthcare and education systems in South Africa. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of registered non-profit organisations which can be attributed to a greater awareness of the social problems that exist, as well as the inability of the government and the public sector to address the social problems on their own. Social entrepreneurs are attempting to find innovative solutions to these problems by starting non-profit organisations and then implementing projects and programmes that will help alleviate these social problems. Social entrepreneurship is a fairly new concept, particularly within the realm of academic research. Previous studies on social entrepreneurship have highlighted the need for social entrepreneurs and have also emphasised the many challenges these social entrepreneurs face, one of which is the lack of education and business skills training. Research indicates that a non-profit organisation should be run like a small business in order to be successful, which highlights the importance for social entrepreneurs to be equipped with the appropriate business skills. The impact that a social entrepreneur’s education and business skills training has on the success of a non-profit organisation is however still largely unknown. The purpose of this study was three-fold: firstly, to study the relationship between the education and business skills training of a social entrepreneur and the successful functioning of their non-profit organisations; secondly, to develop recommendations for social entrepreneurs on how to more effectively manage their non-profit organisations and guide them in what business training will benefit them as a social entrepreneur; and lastly, to add to the already existing knowledge on social entrepreneurs, particularly within a South African context. The main research methodology used to conduct the empirical investigation in this study was qualitative in nature. Elements of quantitative data collection were adopted in the instruments in order to ensure standardisation when measuring a social entrepreneur’s education and business skills training, as well as the success of their respective non-profit organisation. In-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen social entrepreneurs who work in a variety of social developmental sectors within South Africa. An interview guide was developed to record the formal levels of education and business skills training received by the respondents and to discuss the impact of other types of education and business skills training on their capabilities as managers of non-profit organisations. A tool was developed to measure the success of the respective non-profit organisations and the results were compared to the social entrepreneur’s levels of education and business skills training. Global analysis was the data analysis technique adopted in this study and was used to identify common themes among the transcripts as well as possible relationships between different variables. There were two main findings with regard to the impact a social entrepreneur’s education and business skills training has on the successful functioning of his/her respective non-profit organisation. Firstly, the formal types of education and business skills training of a social entrepreneur have a direct impact on the success of a nonprofit organisation. Secondly, once a social entrepreneur has completed school level education, informal types of education and business skills training play a bigger role than formal types in the effective management and success of his/her respective non-profit organisation. The findings of the empirical investigation showed that the most valuable three types of informal education and business skills training include workshops and conferences, business experience and networks. The most important recommendation for social entrepreneurs is that their school level education should be completed, in order to access further education and business skills training opportunities. The social entrepreneurs must equip themselves with certain skills and knowledge, namely: financial management, legal knowledge, human resource management, strategic management, monitoring and evaluation skills, technical skills and research skills, in order to ensure the successful functioning of their respective non-profit organization.

Dada a necessidade de se aprimorar a compreensão do empreendedorismo social no âmbito das teorias organizacionais, fundamentando-se na fronteira do conhecimento nesse campo e no de premiações socioambientais, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi descrever, historiar e analisar o surgimento, a implementação e o desenvolvimento do Prêmio Empreendedor Social, realizado pela Folha de S.Paulo e a Fundação Schwab, e como as mudanças por ele sofridas ao longo de mais de uma década de existência (2005-2015) espelham o próprio movimento do empreendedorismo social brasileiro. Para isso, a partir da perspectiva ontológica relativista-construtivista, foi realizada uma pesquisa processual com um estudo de caso intrínseco, inspirado no método Gioia e na abordagem contextualista, tendo como base a análise histórica e longitudinal de 6.688 registros (dados secundários) da iniciativa. A análise do caso evidencia que o objeto de estudo apresenta uma relação de mutualidade com o movimento do empreendedorismo social, ora fomentando-o, ao revelar novas referências no campo, ao promover redes e alianças intersetoriais e ao propagar seus conceitos a um público mais amplo; ora espelhando-o, sofrendo transformações para adaptar-se ao dinâmico contexto em que se insere. Nesse sentido, nota-se que o próprio conceito de empreendedor social evolui do arquétipo do líder herói para uma reflexão ainda em aberto de sua real capacidade de causar uma transformação social sistêmica, mais de uma década após o lançamento do Prêmio, vis-à-vis as novas gerações empreendedoras, que reforçam princípios como horizontalidade e hibridismo. Os próprios laureados refletem as origens e desenvolvimento desse campo, de movimentos sociais de base que se institucionalizaram como ONGs na década de 1980 a startups de tecnologia em educação e inclusão alavancadas por investimento de impacto. A análise dessa evolução denota intrínseca e inevitável relação com as referências contextuais do campo do empreendedorismo social no Brasil e no mundo - o zeitgeist -, entre as quais o forte direcionamento pela busca da inovação, da sustentabilidade - demonstrada pelo profissionalismo da gestão e geração de renda dos empreendimentos sociais - e do impacto social gerado, de forma comprovada por mensurações de desempenho. Externamente, duas crises marcam de forma determinante a trajetória do Prêmio no Brasil: a instabilidade econômica ao longo desse período, com reflexo ulterior no setor do jornalismo no país, e as crises de imagem pública e reputação das organizações que incidem no campo socioambiental, espelhadas no espectro político-institucional. Já no âmbito da parceria entre as realizadoras, os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para uma aliança que se fortaleceu nos três primeiros anos e que, aos poucos, foi sendo fragmentada por incidentes críticos os quais evidenciam uma aliança que jamais chegou a ser de fato estratégica. À guisa de conclusão, nota-se que, ainda que o Prêmio influencie o movimento do empreendedorismo social brasileiro, tendo se consolidado como uma referência na seleção e promoção de líderes socioambientais no país, em maior parte ele espelha e busca se adaptar - e sobreviver - ao seu mutante contexto, de forma inerentemente atrelada às iniciativas empreendidas pela equipe que o realiza, sem um claro direcionamento estratégico e de longo prazo por parte das realizadoras.
Given the need to improve the understanding of social entrepreneurship within the scope of organizational theories, based on the frontier of knowledge in this field and on awards, the objective of this study was to describe, historize and analyze the emergence, implementation and development of Social Entrepreneur Award and how the changes it has undergone over more than a decade of existence (2005-2015) mirror the very movement of Brazilian social entrepreneurship. For this, from a relativist-constructivist ontological perspective, a process research was conducted with an intrinsic case study, inspired by the Gioia method and the contextualist approach, based on the historical and longitudinal analysis of 6,688 records (secondary data) of the initiative, carried out in the country by Folha de S.Paulo and the Schwab Foundation. The analysis of the case shows that the object of study presents a relationship of mutuality with the movement of Brazilian social entrepreneurship, sometimes fomenting it, revealing new references in the field, promoting intersectoral networks and alliances and propagating its concepts to a wider public broad; sometimes mirroring it, undergoing transformations to adapt to the dynamic context in which it is inserted. In this sense, it is noted that the very concept of social entrepreneur evolves from the archetype of the hero leader to a still open reflection of his real capacity to cause a systemic social transformation, more than a decade after the launch of the Prize, vis-à-vis the new entrepreneurial generations, who reinforce principles such as horizontality and hybridity. The laureates themselves reflect the origins and development of this field, from grassroots social movements that were institutionalized as NGOs in the 1980s to technology startups in education and inclusion leveraged by impact investment. The analysis of this evolution denotes an intrinsic relation with the contextual references of the field of social entrepreneurship in Brazil and in the world - the zeitgeist -, among them the strong orientation towards the search for innovation, of sustainability - demonstrated by the professionalism of the management and income generation of social ventures - and of the social impact generated, in a way proven by performance measurements. Externally, two crises are a decisive factor in the trajectory of the Prize in Brazil: the economic instability during this period, with a further reflection on the journalism sector in the country, and the crises of public image and reputation of organizations that affect the socio-environmental field, mirrored in the political-institutional spectrum. Lastly, in the framework of the partnership between the promoters, the results of this research point to an alliance that strengthened in the first three years and that, little by little, was fragmented by critical incidents that evidence an alliance that has never really become strategic. By way of conclusion, it is noticeable that, even though the award has an affect on the social entrepreneurship movement, having consolidating itself as a reference in the selection and promotion of social-environmental leaders in the country, it mostly mirrors and seeks for adaptation - and survival - to its mutant context, deeply attached to the initiatives undertaken by the team that organizes it, without a clear strategic and long-term direction from the perspective of its two promoters.

Background: While entrepreneurship is now seen as an important focus in Egypt to elevatepoverty and improve the economic status, a strong and coherent entrepreneurialecosystem is necessary to achieve this. The Egyptian ecosystem is lacking a lotof principal elements such as access to finance, proper entrepreneurialeducation, and a culture that supports entrepreneurship. Developmentorganizations, whose aim is to sustainably develop the society, have recentlyjoined the Egyptian entrepreneurial ecosystem, equipped with funding,knowledge, and capacity. They aim to contribute to the Egyptian entrepreneurialecosystem and support entrepreneurship as a mean for sustainable development. Purpose: Despite their promising role, development organizations have not beenemphasized in the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems. This could bereturned to the fact that most of the research on ecosystems is done in the contextof developed countries. Our aim is to shed light on the new role of developmentorganizations in the Egyptian ecosystem, explore what they offer toentrepreneurs, understand their impact, and analyze how they can improve theecosystem further. Method: The study is conducted through a multiple case study approach. Data is collectedthrough in-depth interviews with 21 employees and entrepreneurs from 3different development organizations in Egypt Conclusion: The results show that development organizations have a massive impact on theentrepreneurial ecosystem in Egypt. On the Isenberg model, developmentorganizations have the highest impact on market, support, and finance. Whilethey already impact culture and human capital, more emphasis needs to be puton these two domains to improve the mindset of entrepreneurs and the differentplayers in the ecosystem. Development organizations do not contribute to thepolicy domain since its mostly dominated by the government.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to gain insights into the implementation of circular economy from the perspectives of local entrepreneurs and organizations within the Växjö region. Design/methods/approach - This paper follows the case study design with local entrepreneurs and organizations as the unit of analysis. The authors adopted both iterative and abductive thinking in order to alternate between analysis of theories and empirical material. Systematic literature review with themes was used as a specific purpose and research question was specified from the beginning. When collecting empirical material, guided and semi-structured interviews were used. For the data analysis, “initial coding” was utilized, which allowed the authors to differentiate themes and thus perform a thorough analysis. Findings - Växjö Kommun has a long-term goal of fostering sustainability and circularity within the Växjö region through numerous communication channels and continuous collaboration and cooperation with various groups of stakeholders. Their efforts have facilitated the emergence of initiatives and projects from small entrepreneurs. However, the relationship between Växjö Kommun and other stakeholders (local entrepreneurs and organizations) face difficulties due to a lack of communication and differences in perception of how the strategies should be implemented. Practical implications - Through collecting, analyzing and combining theoretical and empirical material, insights were gained into the implementation of circular economy. Based on these, recommendations to the local entrepreneurs and organizations were outlined, which can be utilized when rethinking their strategies related to sustainable and circular projects in the region of Växjö. Originality/value - The originality of this paper lies in the absence of previous research conducted on similar topics within this local context. The authors believe that their paper will be valuable to both local entrepreneurs and organizations who wish to better understand the implementation of circular economy. At the same time, the findings could be useful for other scholars who wish to continue this research.

Social enterprises (SEs) are playing an increasingly important role in fostering a more sustainable and equitable society around the world. Previous studies have suggested that developing capabilities to manage knowledge is a key driver of an SE's success (Domenico et al., 2010; Guclu et al., 2002; Tracey et al., 2011). An SE operates much like a business, but manages operations and directs its surpluses towards the pursuit of social goals (Austin et al., 2006; Dart, 2004; Dees, 2001; Granados et al., 2011; Mair & Marti, 2006; Nicholls, 2006) in an unstable or unpredictable market (Jaworski & Kohli, 1993; Mair & Marti, 2009; Nicholls, 2010; Sharir & Lerner, 2006). When the market is highly turbulent, customers' product expectations and preferences change over time. In such a situation, an SE has to pay more attention to the development of high-quality new innovative products and solutions that satisfy the social needs of specific customer segments, including underprivileged groups and socially responsible consumers, thereby more effectively addressing societal problems in a sustainable way. Indeed, the question of how absorptive capacity contributes to an SE's financial and social return is largely under-researched (Dacin et al., 2011; Granados et al., 2011; Haugh, 2005). Drawing on the dynamic capabilities perspective, this study proposes a research model in which absorptive capacity affects an SE's firm performance in both financial and social terms via marketing capabilities. It advances the existing SE-related literature by investigating the mediating role of marketing capabilities in the relationship between absorptive capacity and firm performance in the context of SEs. Also, market turbulence is theorized to moderate the relationship between marketing capabilities and performance. To perform this study, I collected data using questionnaires based on a list generated randomly from the database of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service SE Directory, and the contacts obtained from other sources such as Fullness Social Enterprises Society and the Workforce Development Agency, Ministry of Labour Taiwan. The data collection was performed over an eight-month period, with 109 valid responses being collected for this study. Multiple regression and a bootstrapping approach were used to test the hypotheses. The results provide support for most of the proposed hypotheses. Specifically, an SE's absorptive capacity is positively related to its marketing capabilities. Likewise, an SE's marketing capabilities are positively linked to its financial performance. In addition, an SE's marketing capabilities mediate the relationship between its absorptive capacity and its financial performance. Furthermore, the results show a positive moderating role of market turbulence in an SE's marketing capabilities-financial performance relationship. In summary, this study lends support to previous studies that show dynamic capabilities do not necessarily result in better financial performance directly in the context of SEs. It contributes to unpacking the black box of the absorptive capacity-financial performance relationship, and it shows that an SE's marketing capabilities play an important role as an underlying mediation mechanism. It also extends and contributes to the social enterprises literature by revealing the mediating role of marketing capabilities between absorptive capacity and financial performance, and the moderating effect of market turbulence on the relationship between marketing capabilities and financial performance in the context of SEs.

There are inequalities in terms of gender and ethnicity within the labor market in Sweden. In the past years there have been great developments to equalize and diversify workplaces with qualified employees. The case study organization Equalisters is a purely Web-based non- profit organization working to break norms associated with gender and ethnicity within the Swedish media and various business sectors. However, there is still work to be done to regain Sweden’s place as the number 1 equal country in Europe. Therefore, it is crucial to get a thorough understanding and deeper knowledge regarding a non-profit organizations possibilities to grow. Hence, the purpose of this research is to answer the following research question: How can a purely Web-based Non-profit organization in the start-up phase continue its growth? The authors of this thesis have conducted a qualitative research in collaboration with the chosen case study organization, Equalisters, and their clientele. As a conclusion the authors argue that a purely Web based non-profit organization can grow both financially and operationally through differentiating procedures. The organizational growth will continue with the aid of immediate connections to the fact that the employees, accommodators, clients and volunteers do make a difference in society, which results in intrinsic rewards. In addition a financial profit is accomplishable without harming the core of the business by developing side services or side products such as quality checks for the lists, consultancy work with the aim of observing inequalities within the companies or firms, financially supporting the organization by “adopting lists” and create an identification of the organization as an investment to corporate social responsibility work for companies and firms. Moreover, utilizing social venture capitalist is another approach to increasing finances. However, the authors have observed a risk with involving more people to the organization since the core mission might have to change as a result of the financial support. Therefore, the aforementioned side services and products are more in line with keeping the organizations core objective uninfluenced.

The Intshona Group of Companies operates in South Africa as a hybrid agribusiness combining entrepreneurial principles with a philosophy of social upliftment in Africa. This research views Intshona through the lens of social entrepreneurship theory, a hybrid research field with a dominant theme being the need for growth and scaling of impact, but which is seen as fragmented, containing ambiguities and lagging practice. In this research, a case study of Intshona is developed based on questionnaires and interviews with the organisation’s management, a concerned NGO, social beneficiaries as well as employees. The result is a two-way flow of knowledge integrating elements of existing social enterprise theory with Intshona’s business practices, building on a generic model of entrepreneurship and culminating in a business model for growth in a social enterprise. The research delivers strategic directives for Intshona for its future growth, presents a case study for addition to the body of knowledge on social entrepreneurship and concludes with suggestions for further research to continue developing theory.

The informal economy represents a large segment of the economic activities in emerging economies but still remains a puzzling phenomenon. In particular, research emphasising the organising processes of firms within the informal economy is scant. Weak formal institutions, conflicting institutional centres and large levels of economic inequality contribute to the development of informal entrepreneurship in emerging economies. Yet, an understanding of the links between institutional incongruence and economic exclusion as facilitating mechanisms of informal entrepreneurship remains limited. Furthermore, it is unknown how hybrid organisations, combining institutional logics, emerge and function within the informal economy. Despite a large number of empirical and theoretical studies, there is a lack of understanding about the interplay between the institutional dynamics and the creation of informal institutions developed by informal entrepreneurs. To enhance the understanding of informal entrepreneurship, this PhD thesis explores how institutional entrepreneurs embedded in the informal economy respond to economic inequality. This grounded theory study, based on interviews and participant observations conducted at La Salada, South America's largest black market, conceptualises how institutional entrepreneurs exploit the illegitimacy of formal labour institutions to generate institutional change. This qualitative study has followed a constructivist grounded theory design based on simultaneous data collection and analysis and making systematic comparisons throughout inquiry. In line with grounded theory guidelines, the researcher identified emerging first-order categories and looked-for relations between them, in order to move to a higher level of theoretical abstraction with the aim of generating new theory. The researcher conducted 75 in-depth interviews and semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and made use of archival documents. The thesis is organised as three empirical studies which can be read independently, but together constitute an in-depth study of institutional entrepreneurship in the informal economy. The thesis's theoretical contributions to the field are as follows. The first study reveals the conditions that generated institutional change in the apparel value chain in response to prevailing conditions that were leading to increasing economic inequality. It presents a model that focuses on three social mechanisms which allow institutional entrepreneurs to build new institutions that were inclusive for large segments of society excluded by the formal sector. The second study explores the emergence of new forms of hybrid organisation in the informal economy. Particularly, it focuses on how informal entrepreneurs organisationally respond to institutional complexity by identifying two types of logic - community and market - and a meta-mechanism that facilitates the interaction between the two logics, named normalisation of deviant organisational practices. The study highlights the two key generative mechanisms of the logics at play and suggests that actors embedded in the informal economy are able to dynamically adapt to two types of logic. It also emphasises how informal entrepreneurs exploit institutional arbitrage, which refers to the circumstances where entrepreneurs are provided with opportunities to exploit differences between two dimensions of the institutional environment, formality and informality. The third study explores how various types of actors and organisations such as social movements or hybrid organisations are able to develop alternative institutional arrangements to overcome the liabilities of emerging economies' institutions in an informal context. The study reveals that informal entrepreneurs entering a polycentric system are able to establish norms and rules of interaction, to exploit brokerage opportunities and multivocality between contradictory networks, and through robust action, generate proto-institutional outcomes. Collectively, these three essays reveal novel knowledge about the organisational mechanisms behind informal economic activities, constituting a theoretical bridge between the fields of institutional theory, inequality and governance and providing fundamental insights for the development of new management theories.

The role of continuous innovation is imperative to creating and maintaining sustainablecommunities. The role of collaboration is also imperative to creating and maintainingsustainable communities. Researchers mean that the educational system should be an activeplayer in supporting government policies to promote local entrepreneurship and find it crucialto create collaborations among and within universities to achieve this. But what if the practiceof the solution is the complex phenomenon? The word “collaboration” is a multifaceted termthat has created a lot of ambiguities amongst organizations. This study therefore aimed tounravel the characteristics of inter-organizational collaboration between university-linkedinnovation organizations by studying the collaboration between two innovation organizationslinked to Malmö University. The outcome was depicted in a model as a suggestion to aframework of the collaborative efforts between university-linked innovation organizations.Whereas there are a number of pre-identified elements for successful collaboration, it wasfound that five distinct elements played a bigger role than others. These are committedmembers, access to resources, relationships & mutuality, diverse skillset and time& patience.These, alongside with a conflict-resolution strategy and a defined process map out thecornerstones of the suggested model.

Municipal housing companies (MHCs) can be seen as hybrid organizations, operating under multiple institutional logics that are likely in tension with each other. Measuring the performance of hybrid organizations is a much harder exercise than measuring the performance of pure public or pure private entities. There is a lack of research in this area. To fill this gab van Helden and Reichard’s (2016a) proposed a framework that assigns typical characteristics to PMS in hybrids. The authors call for empirics to test the framework. Accordingly, the first purpose of the thesis is to test the hypotheses of this framework in practice, using a case study approach of two MHCs, MKB AB and LKF AB. The second purpose is to shed light on challenges, conflicts and even propose solutions for MCS/PMS. The thesis ended up by proposing a conceptual model for MCS/PMS that aims to reconcile conflicting goals and logics. The model integrates strategic management control tools (BSC and ERP) to support strategy implementation and formulation as well as to reconcile the different interests of the various stakeholders.

Diante disto, esse trabalho tem como finalidade identificar como as ONGs cearenses tem desenvolvido sua sustentabilidade econÃmica por meio do empreendedorismo social, como forma de dar prosseguimento a sua missÃo, nÃo se limitando ao contexto de escassez de recursos. Foram realizados estudos de caso em quatro ONGs cearenses, sendo observadas as aÃÃes habituais e inovadoras no Ãmbito dos trÃs critÃrios de sustentanbilidade econÃmica em ONGs (nÃo-mercantil, nÃo-monetÃrio e mercantil). Por meio da utilizaÃÃo da anÃlise do conteÃdo como tÃcnica investigativa chegou-se a conclusÃo de que a ONGs cearenses tem desenvolvido sua sustentabilidade econÃmica por meio do empreendorismo social atravÃs, principalmente, do intenso desenvolvimento de atividades comerciais, ligadas ao critÃrio mercantil, tanto relacionadas a prÃticas habituais, como a aÃÃes inovadoras e que isto tem ocorrido de forma totalmente diversificada e diretamente relacionada à missÃo organizacional. Quanto ao critÃrio nÃo-mercantil de sustentabilidade econÃmica verificou-se que pouco se tem empreendido neste Ãmbito, tendo sido percebido que o desgaste que a imagem destas organizaÃÃes tiveram apÃs a exposiÃÃo de ONGs que se utilizaram irregularmente de doaÃÃes gerou desgaste e desconforto em sua relaÃÃo com empresas e indivÃduos. Quanto aos recursos pÃblicos, apenas uma das ONGs tem estratÃgia estabelecida voltada a constante participaÃÃo de editais e a busca de benefÃcios fiscais, sendo considerado pelas ONGs, um recurso envolto em processo, excessivamente, burocrÃtico e desgastante. Quanto ao critÃrio nÃo-monetÃrio, a maioria das ONGs tem se utilizado, como meio mais recente de captar futuros colaboradores, as redes sociais e tem obtido grandes resultados.

The social empreendedororismo is an approach that deals with overcoming limits imposed by the scarcity of resources, by recognizing and exploiting new opportunities and the context in which third sector organizations such as NGOs, are is characterized by difficulty in obtaining the resources necessary to develop their actions and social projects. In view of this, this paper aims to identify how Cearà NGOs have developed their economic sustainability through social entrepreneurship as a way of following through on their mission, not limited to the context of resource scarcity. Case studies were conducted in four Cearà NGOs, being subject to the usual and innovative actions under the three criteria of economic sustentanbilidade in NGOs (non-commercial, non-monetary and commercial). Through the use of content analysis as an investigative technique we came to the conclusion that the Cearà NGOs have developed their economic sustainability through social entrepreneurship primarily through the intensive development of commercial activities related to commercial criteria, both related to customary practices, such as innovative actions and this has been fully diversified and directly related to the organizational mission. As for the non-market criteria of economic sustainability was found that little has been undertaken in this area, having been seen to wear the image of these organizations had after exposure of NGOs that were used irregularly donations generated wear and discomfort in their relationship with businesses and individuals. As for public resources, only one NGO has established strategy geared to constant participation notices and seeking tax benefits, being considered by the NGOs a resource wrapped in process, excessively bureaucratic and exhausting. As for the non-monetary criteria, most NGOs have been used, as the latest means of capturing future employees, social networks and has achieved great results. Even those who do not use this communication tool to that end, can indirectly attract volunteers as a network of contacts which is shared actions and developed social activities is created, arousing the interest of society to cooperate

Este trabalho teve o principal objetivo de contribuir para o entendimento do contexto social que circunda empreendedores inovadores brasileiros e espanhóis que emergem em seus próprios países de origem, procurando mapear e entender relações sociais relevantes estabelecidas durante o delicado período de emergência de seus empreendimentos no final do século XX e começo do XXI. Autores alinhados com o pensamento da sociologia econômica foram utilizados como referência para a determinação das perguntas de pesquisa, que provocaram a realização de um estudo comparativo entre empreendedores finalistas de um mesmo prêmio atribuído a empreendedores inovadores brasileiros e espanhóis. No total, 19 empreendedores oriundos de setores emparelhados em ambos os países foram entrevistados e documentos sobre eles e seus empreendimentos foram levantados, possibilitando verificar, entre outras coisas, a influência relativamente homogênea do contexto social de ambos os países no período de emergência de empreendimentos fundados por empreendedores advindos de classes sociais mais elevadas destas sociedades, com especial ênfase nas complicadas características do padrão de financiamento dos empreendimentos, no aumento consistente do apoio social e público ao empreendedorismo, no elevado envolvimento emocional que os empreendedores estabelecem com seus empreendimentos e no peculiar papel das relações de confiança construídos entre os empreendedores, seus sócios e funcionários.
This study had the main objective to contribute to the understanding of the social context that surrounded the innovative Brazilian and Spanish entrepreneurs that emerged in their own countries of origin, seeking to map and understand relevant social relations established during the delicate period of emergence of their ventures in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, focusing specifically on the role that organizations and social norms had over this period. Authors aligned with the thinking of economic sociology were used as reference for the determination of research questions, which led to the execution of a comparative study between entrepreneur finalists of the same award given to innovative Brazilian and Spanish entrepreneurs. A total of 19 entrepreneurs coming from sectors paired in the countries were interviewed and documents about them and their ventures were studied, making it possible to verify, among other things, the relatively homogeneous influence of the social context of both countries during the emergence of ventures founded by entrepreneurs coming from higher social classes, with particular emphasis on the complicated standards of financing options, on the consistent increase in social and public support to entrepreneurship, in the high emotional involvement that entrepreneurs establish with their ventures and in the peculiar role that trust play among entrepreneurs, their partners and employees.

No final do século passado, o fenómeno designado empreendedorismo social começou a ganhar importância no mundo académico e no mundo empresarial. Apesar de ser um tema que está na ?moda?, a literatura existente contempla algumas lacunas. Com este estudo pretende-se compreender quais os fatores mais importantes para a sustentabilidade financeira e social das empresas sociais, ou seja, como é que conseguem gerir a dualidade de criar impacto social e financeiro. Após uma comparação entre a literatura e os resultados obtidos no estudo de quatro casos reais portugueses, foi possível elaborar cinco proposições: (1) as empresas sociais têm dificuldade em obter investimento na fase de arranque, o que implica que o investimento será na sua maioria feito pelo empreendedor social ou pela sua base pessoal de relações; (2) as empresas sociais devem procurar equilíbrio entre o objetivo social e o financeiro. Sendo que o objetivo social só é possível ser atingido quando a empresa tem objetivos financeiros; (3) tal como acontece em empresas tradicionais, a inovação é um fator de diferenciação e de sucesso nas empresas sociais; (4) o empreendedor social com algum tipo de experiência passada em empreendedorismo, é mais recetivo à necessidade financeira da empresa; (5) os fatores mais importantes para o sucesso das empresas sociais são: aceitação do conceito por parte do público, clientes conscientes da atividade da organização, perfil empreendedor do fundador, práticas de planeamento, investimento em inovação, membros da organização motivados, troca de conhecimentos entre os membros da organização e socialização entre os membros da organização.
Social entrepreneurship has become one of the mainstream discussions of this century. In fact, it grew a lot amongst academics, nowadays one can find plenty of documents scrutinizing this phenomenon as well as specialized courses on academic institutions. Due to be a recent theme its literature still presents some gaps, one of which is the social and financial balance. Hence the goal of this thesis is to explore and understand what?s important to reach social and financial sustainability within an institution. After analysing the research results of four well established portuguese social enterprises and compare them against the literature it was possible to formulate five prepositions: (1) social enterprises struggle to obtain investment at an early age, which means that the majority of it comes from the entrepreneur itself or from his personal relationships; (2) social enterprises must find balance between the social goal and the financial one, thus the social goal can only be achieved when the organization has financial goals; (3) innovation is a key factor on both traditional enterprises and social enterprises; (4) when the social entrepreneur has a background on entrepreneurship it tends to be keened to the financial necessity of the organisation; (5) the key factors for a successful social enterprise are: openness from the targeted consumers, consumers being well aware of the activity of the organization, the founder having an entrepreneur profile, planning practices, investment on innovation, motivated workers inside the institution, knowledge sharing between co-workers and a good coworking environment in the institution.

Le but de notre thèse est d'étudier l'émergence d'une vision partagée au sein des équipes entrepreneuriales associatives. Nous considérons tout d'abord l'approche traditionnelle militante qui met en avant des actions collectives des bénévoles et des salariés prenant part au développement de l'association. Nous intégrons ensuite la littérature sur l'entrepreneuriat social davantage orientée vers la réalisation efficace d'une finalité sociale. Nous considérons ces deux approches comme deux formes possibles de l'entrepreneuriat en association. Nous désignons en tant qu’équipe entrepreneuriale le groupe d'individus de taille variable, portant le projet et impulsant l'organisation vers sa réalisation. Nous étudions comment les membres de cette équipe se positionnent entre ces deux visions afin d'analyser les risques de divisions, mais aussi les possibilités d'émergence d'une vision partagée. Suivant une approche psychosociologique, nous conceptualisons la notion de vision en termes de représentation sociale. Nous analysons la confrontation entre ces deux représentations comme une étape d'un cycle à travers lequel les acteurs ajustent leur vision à la réalité. Nous expliquons ainsi comment des pratiques en provenance de l'entrepreneuriat social sont développées au sein des équipes entrepreneuriales associatives. Sur la base de 48 entretiens semi-directifs et d'une étude de cas complète, nos données permettent de comprendre les mécanismes suivant lesquels la vision émerge et évolue. Notre modèle de recherche part de l'écart existant entre l'idéal de la vision et la réalité des pratiques. Entre les deux, des mécanismes, à la fois opératoires et psychosociologiques, favorisent l'adaptation, autrement dit permettent « d'affronter » le réel à partir de l'idée. A partir des travaux de Weick (1979), nous montrons que face à des situations conflictuelles entre les membres porteurs des deux visions de l'association, la « rétention » de l'une ou de l'autre passe, au-delà des discussions, par leur « mise en acte » gestionnaire
The purpose of this thesis is to study how a shared vision can emerge among the members of the entrepreneurial teams managing nonprofit organizations. We first examine the grassroots approach that emphasizes the collective action of volunteers and employees working together in the development of the association. We then consider social entrepreneurship literature focusing on the effective achievement of social goals. We integrate these two visions as two possible forms of entrepreneurship in nonprofit organizations. We identify the entrepreneurial team as a group of individuals working together toward the development of the objectives of the nonprofit organization and their achievement. We analyze how the different members of the team position themselves with regard to these two visions to analyze the risk of divisions, but also the possibility of the emergence of a shared vision. Adopting a socio-psychological approach, we conceptualize the notion of a shared vision in terms of social representations. We integrate the confrontation between these two representations as part of a cycle through which actors adjust their vision to fit reality. We then go on to study and explain how social entrepreneurship practices are introduced and develop within the entrepreneurial team of nonprofit organizations.Based on 48 semi-structured interviews and a full case study, the data collected contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which the shared vision emerges and evolves. Our research model highlights the distance between the ideal of the vision and the reality in practice. Between this ideal and the reality, operational and psychological processes are at work. Drawing on Weick (1979), when members of the entrepreneurial team are divided between two visions of their non-profit organization, the “retention” of one or the other is the consequence of managerial “enactment” rather than discussion

Sesc/RS - Serviço Social do Comércio do Rio Grande do Sul
Esta dissertação versa sobre a inovação sob a ótica das organizações híbridas, tendo como objeto de estudo o Serviço Social do Comércio do Rio Grande do Sul (SESC-RS). A temática torna-se relevante pela necessidade de se avançar o conhecimento no campo de inovação social em organizações híbridas, gerando elementos, principalmente, às organizações do terceiro setor, com objetivo de apoiar na geração e na concretização de inovações sociais. Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo geral desta dissertação foi identificar as possibilidades de inovação no SESC-RS, considerando suas barreiras e facilitadores, bem como as particularidades das organizações híbridas. Como objetivos específicos, este trabalho buscou (1) analisar o SESC-RS sob a luz da teoria das organizações híbridas; (2) medir o grau de inovação na organização SESC-RS, abarcando a inovação social; (3) reconhecer os aspectos facilitadores e barreiras quanto às dimensões da inovação; e (4) fornecer subsídios para a formulação de estratégias para o fortalecimento da inovação no SESC-RS. Com o intuito de atender os objetivos propostos, realizou-se inicialmente uma pesquisa nos principais periódicos quanto às particularidades de empresas híbridas e sobre inovação social para, assim, analisar o SESC-RS sob a luz das organizações híbridas. Como método, optou-se pela utilização da pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa. A pesquisa quantitativa buscou medir o grau de inovação no SESC-RS por meio do mapa da inovação, direcionada aos atuais 42 gestores das Unidades Operacionais (UO) do SESC-RS. Para reconhecer os aspectos facilitadores e barreiras quanto às dimensões de inovação, aplicou-se uma entrevista estruturada com 6 gerentes executivos do SESC-RS, ligados diretamente à atividade fim, bem como à coordenação de produtos/serviços ofertados pela organização. Com base no método eleito, foi possível principalmente caracterizar as dimensões de hibridismo do SESC, bem como relacionar as dimensões da inovação com as do hibridismo. Como principais resultados oriundos da análise do SESC-RS sob a luz do hibridismo, confirma-se o que fora levantado na literatura: uma organização com aparentes contradições em suas lógicas de negócio e uma mescla de nuances entre o público e o privado, encontrando dificuldades com a rigidez e a morosidade em seus processos. Também foi possível medir o grau de inovação, constatando-se que o SESC-RS pode ser considerado “pouco inovador”, com um escore total de 2,69. Também foi possível identificar algumas barreiras à inovação: normas e procedimentos, falta de cooperação entre áreas/equipes, falta de clareza quanto ao desenvolvimento estratégico de pessoas, entre outros. Já quanto aos facilitadores para a inovação, foram identificados: a autonomia tanto para a tomada de decisão quanto para a proposição de novas ideias ou projetos, apoio da alta direção, entre outros. Por fim, com base nas informações identificadas, foi possível fornecer subsídios para a formulação de estratégias para o fortalecimento da inovação social do SESC-RS.

The subject is relevant because the necessity of knowledge increasement in the field of social innovation, creating elements, manly to the Third Sector organizations, aiming the support in the production and realization of social innovations. On this perspective, the general objective of this dissertation is to identify the possibilities of innovations at SESC­RS, considering its obstacles and facilitators as well hybrid organizations’ particularities. As specific objective, this research seeks to: (1) analyze the SESC­RS under the hybrid organizations’ theory; (2) measure the level of innovation at the SESC­RS as organization, embracing the social innovation; (3) recognize the facilitators and obstacles in the innovation dimensions; and (4) provide subsidies for the formulation of strategies to the strengthening of innovation at SESC­RS. To accomplish the proposed objectives, a research about the particularities of hybrid organization and social innovations was developed using as base main journals, thus analyzing the SESC­RS under the hybrid organizations optics. The methodology chosen was the quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative research seeked to measure the level of innovation at SESC­RS by the innovation map, directed to the 42 current managers of the Operational Units (“Unidades Operacionais” or “UO”). To recognize the facilitators and obstacles in the innovation aspects, a structured interview was applied to 6 executive managers of SESC­RS, directly related to core business as well as coordination of products/services oferred by the organization. Based on the chosen methodology, it was possible to characterize the dimensions of hybridism of SESC and correlate the dimensions of innovation and of hybridism. The main results derived from the analyses of SESC­RS under the optics of hybridism. It confirmed the literary proposal: an organization with apparent contradictions in its business logic and a mixture of nuances between the public and private, finding difficulties with the rigidity and morosity in its process. It was also possible to measure the level of innovation, establishing that SESC­RS might be considered “little innovative” with a total score of 2,69. Some innovations barriers were also possible to identify: standards and proceedings, lack of cooperation between areas/teams, lack of public strategic development, among others. As for the innovation facilitators, they were identified: the autonomy, both for decision­making and proposition of new ideas and projects; the support of senior management, among others. In conclusion, based on the identified informations, it was possible to provide subsidies for the formulation of strategies to the strengthening of innovation at SESC­RS.

Mestrado em Marketing
O presente Trabalho Final de Mestrado propõe-se a desenvolver um Plano de Marketing com vista a aumentar a notoriedade da Ashoka em Portugal e a potenciar as suas hipóteses de angariação de parceiros estratégicos e fundos. De forma a alcançar este objetivo, procedeu-se à análise situacional da organização, com especial enfoque para a análise interna, à definição dos objetivos e estratégias de marketing a adotar, e à elaboração das táticas de marketing-mix mais adequadas aos objetivos delineados. Uma vez que este estudo implicou um trabalho conjunto entre o investigador e a organização, adotou-se uma estratégia de investigação "action research" com uma abordagem mista, já que, para além dos dados secundários recolhidos, se efetuou a recolha de dados primários através da realização de duas entrevistas e de um inquérito por questionário. Com esta investigação foi possível chegar a conclusões com potencial utilidade para a organização, tais como o facto de existir uma elevada predisposição por parte do Público em Geral para ajudar e apoiar uma organização como a Ashoka Portugal, bem como o interesse demonstrado por saber mais acerca da atividade da organização e dos principais temas por si abordados: educação transformadora e empreendedorismo social.
This final Master's Work proposes to develop a Marketing Plan in order to increase the awareness of Ashoka in Portugal and to enhance its chances of fundraising and get new strategic partners. In order to achieve this goal, a situational analysis of the organization was carried on, with a special focus on internal analysis given the size and complexity of Ashoka, as well as the definition of the marketing objectives and strategies to be adopted, and the elaboration of the most appropriate marketing- mix tactics according to the objectives outlined. Since this study involved a joint effort between the researcher and the organization, an action research strategy with a mixed approach was adopted. In addition to the collection of secondary data, the primary data was collected through the conduct of two interviews and a questionnaire survey. With this research it was possible to reach conclusions of great utility for the organization,such as the fact that there is a high predisposition on the part of the General Public to help and support an organization like Ashoka Portugal, as well as the interest shown in knowing more about Ashoka's activity and the main themes addressed by it: changemaking education and social entrepreneurship.

Social enterprises are hybrid organizations that tackle societal challenges by using conventional business models. Being hybrid organizations means that social enterprises pursue dual objectives: social (developmental) and financial. By taking performance, subsidization and internationalization perspectives, this thesis contributes to understanding the hybridity of social enterprises and how this hybridity drives their general operations and key decisions such as foreign market selection and targeting strategy.

Le imprese sociali sono organizzazioni ibride che combinano missioni e processi del mondo profit e non-profit, spesso operando in ambienti con risorse limitate come i Paesi africani. A causa della loro doppia missione e dei processi divergenti che da essa derivano, gli ibridi affrontano continue sfide nella gestione e nella crescita delle loro attività, con il rischio di compromettere l'impatto sociale o limitare la sostenibilità finanziaria. Questa tesi mira a far luce sull’opportunità che la natura ibrida può offrire a queste imprese sociali. In particolare, il primo paper mostra come, attraverso strategie di hybrid harvesting, le imprese sociali possano superare specifiche carenze di risorse.

Social enterprises are hybrid organisations that combine different missions and processes from the for-profit and non-profit domains, and they usually operate in a resource-scarce environment such as African countries. Due to their dual missions and logics, they face continuous challenges and tensions in the management and growth of their businesses, with the risk to jeopardize the social impact, or constrain the financial sustainability. This thesis aim to shed lights on the opportunity that the hybridity may bring to hybrid organizations, especially in the interesting research setting offered by social enterprises. In particular, the first paper shows how, through hybrid harvesting strategies, social enterprises can overcome specific resource constraints. The second paper offers a relevant contribution in understanding the hybrid-diversification process in social enterprises as hybrid organizations, which can be considered a dual mission achievement. The third paper focus on scaling strategies of differentiated hybrid organizations, highlighting the strategies to scale the social impact toward beneficiaries while also scaling the commercial revenues from customers. Finally, this thesis offer a research agenda in the field of hybrid organizations and social entrepreneurship, with the specific focus on dual mission management and exploiting the research setting of challenging environments as african economies.

Esta tese analisou o processo de difusão e de adoção de uma inovação social gerada em uma organização sem fins lucrativos, com atividades geradoras de renda: o programa A União Faz a Vida do Sistema Sicredi. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o estudo de caso único com múltiplas unidades de análise: sete municípios gaúchos (Agudo, Arroio do Tigre, Cerro Branco, Candelária, Sobradinho, Paraíso do Sol e Vale do Sol). Foram aplicadas quatro técnicas de coleta de dados: documentação; entrevistas em profundidade com 15 pessoas; observação direta e um grupo focal com 13 participantes. Para a análise do processo de difusão de inovações sociais, uniram-se os pressupostos básicos desenvolvidos por Katz, Levin e Hamilton (1963); por Katz (1999); e por Rogers (de 1962 a 2003) à luz da inovação social. Os principais resultados encontrados apontam algumas especificidades do processo de difusão da inovação social: a ausência da separação entre os processos de difusão e de adoção, visto que eles acontecem de forma interligada; a necessidade de colaboração entre os atores para que a inovação seja aceita; e a presença de uma forte questão política e cultural, elementos capazes de fomentar a adoção ou a rejeição da inovação social.
This thesis analyzed the process of diffusion and the adoption of social innovation generated in a non-profit organization that has income-generating activities. The name of the Sicredi System program is: A União Faz a Vida (Unity is Life). The research method used was a single case study with analysis units in seven cities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul: Agudo, Arroio do Tigre, Cerro Branco, Candelária, Sobradinho, Paraíso do Sol and Vale do Sol). Four data-collection techniques were employed: documentation, in-depth interviews with 15 people, direct observation and a focus group with 13 participants. The basic social innovation suppositions developed by Katz, Levin and Hamilton in1963, by Katz in1999 and by Rogers from 1962 to 2003 were jointly used for the analysis of the diffusion process of social innovations. The main findings identify some specific points in the diffusion process of social innovation: the lack of separation between the processes of diffusion and adoption since they take place simultaneously; the need for collaboration among the different players for innovation to be accepted; and the presence of strong political and cultural elements to promote the adoption or the rejection of social innovation.

Un grand nombre d'organisations poursuivent des objectifs de performance économique dans des contextes organisationnels divers. Or, parallèlement à la poursuite de leur performance économique, certaines d’entre elles poursuivent des objectifs de performance d’utilité sociale.Nous avons entamé cette recherche afin de comprendre comment des organisations hybrides de l’économie sociale, concilient des logiques qui peuvent paraître contradictoires, logique économique et logique d'utilité sociale, qu’elles doivent articuler et qui peuvent être sources de tensions.Notre recherche est organisée autour de trois essais qui analysent, indépendamment les uns des autres, plusieurs dispositifs de gestion, de gouvernance ou de management dont les déploiements respectifs ont des effets sur la performance économique et la performance d’utilité sociale que certaines organisations se fixent comme objectifs à atteindre simultanément et qui peuvent susciter des tensions nouvelles entre les logiques.Nos résultats apportent un éclairage sur la manière dont des outils de gestion spécifiques influencent l’articulation de différentes logiques et peuvent accompagner une structure militante dans sa poursuite d’objectifs d’utilité sociale et légitimer, en interne, son action. Ils montrent, également, l’impact relatif des nouvelles contraintes législatives et règlementaires sur la gouvernance des sociétés d’assurance mutuelles et, en conséquence, sur les tensions entre les logiques qu’elles poursuivent simultanément. Ils font, aussi, émerger les liens forts qui existent entre les populations différentes, porteuses de logiques différentes au sein d’une même organisation, lorsqu’on intervient sur le type de management de l’une.Nous montrons qu’une organisation de l’économie sociale n’est pas réduite à son statut, ni même, à son hybridité originelle, et qu’elle peut porter une logique intégrative de « mieux-être commun », qualifiée de politique dans cette recherche, car elle veut atteindre simultanément des objectifs de performance sociale, sociétale, économique et environnementale
A wide range of organizations are pursuing economic performance objectives in various organizational contexts. However, in parallel with their continued economic performance some of them pursue performance objectives of social utility.Our research is organized around three articles that analyze, independently from each other, several governance or management systems whose respective deployments have effects on economic performance and social utility performance that some organizations set as objectives to be achieved simultaneously, and which may generate new tensions between logics.Our results shed light on how specific management tools influence the articulation of different logics and can support a militant structure in its pursuit of social utility objectives and legitimize, internally, its action. They also show the relative impact of new legislative and regulatory constraints on the governance of mutual insurance companies and, consequently, on the tensions between the approaches they pursue simultaneously. They also bring out the strong links that exist between different populations, each with its own logic within the same organization, when it comes to the type of management of one.We show that an organization of the social economy is not reduced to its status, or even to its original hybridity, and that it can carry an integrative logic of "common well-being", qualified as a policy in this research, because it wants to simultaneously achieve social, societal, economic and environmental performance objectives.We also provide elements that allow a better understanding of the posture of researcher - observer - participant

The third sector organizations (TSO) play an important social role in Brazil. With regard to educational and participation sports, partnerships with governments have been an important way to enable the democratization of their practice and to contribute to the human development of children and young people, especially those who are socially vulnerable, as guaranteed by law. Within this framework, the present study aimed at identifying the factors that influence the survival of TSO that work with educational and participation sports. The specific objectives aimed at identifying the TSO that work with educational and participation sports in the Greater São Paulo; analyzing how the facilitating factors and the critical factors influence the survival of these organizations; and devising a scheme that summarizes the influence of the main facilitating factors in the survival of these organizations. In order to do that, an exploratory and descriptive research was done, using the qualitative method, based on the phenomenological perspective. The chosen instrument for data collection was the interview supported by a semi-structured script, previously reviewed by two experts. We interviewed four founders and seven managers and / or coordinators, adding up to eleven interviews. The seven participating organizations of the research are affiliated with REMS (Sports Network for Social Change, in Portuguese). The data were analyzed using response categories according to Flores (1994), with the support of the software Atlas TI in the categorization of the results. The results were organized into four categories and these were split. The research concluded that among the main critical factors for the survival of the TSO are the heavy reliance on incentive funds, the lack of institutional financing; limited availability of funds for the communications, marketing and fundraising departments, the financing model under construction in Brazil, the legislation that needs to be realigned to the surrounding reality and the difficulty of measuring social outcomes. In relation to facilitating factors, the prevailing ones were the ability of articulation, institutional and sector dialogue with the government and the various segments of society, being part of networks, credibility and legitimacy of the organization, development of projects that have relevance and social impact, human resources identified with a social cause, the influence of the sector on the creation of public policies, the validation of the methodology, and the importance of the social entrepreneur.
As organizações empreendedoras do terceiro setor (OETS) desempenham um importante papel social no Brasil. No que diz respeito ao esporte educacional e de participação, as parcerias com os governos têm se mostrado um importante caminho para possibilitar a democratização da sua prática e contribuir para o desenvolvimento humano de crianças e jovens, sobretudo, os que vivem em situação de vulnerabilidade social, conforme garantidos por lei. Frente a este cenário, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar quais são os fatores que influenciam na sobrevivência de OETS que atuam com o esporte educacional e de participação. Os objetivos específicos visaram identificar OETS que atuam com o esporte educacional e de participação na Grande São Paulo; analisar como os fatores facilitadores e os fatores críticos influenciam na sobrevivência dessas OETS; e elaborar um esquema que sintetize a influência dos principais fatores facilitadores na sobrevivência dessas OETS. Para tanto, foi feita uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória e descritiva, cujo método foi o qualitativo, embasada na perspectiva fenomenológica. O instrumento eleito para a coleta de dados foi a entrevista apoiada em um roteiro semiestruturado, previamente revisado por dois especialistas. Foram entrevistados quatro fundadores e sete gestores e/ou coordenadores, perfazendo um total de 11 entrevistas. As sete organizações participantes da pesquisa são filiadas à REMS (Rede Esporte pela Mudança Social). Os dados foram tratados utilizando categorias de respostas de acordo com Flores (1994), contando com o apoio na categorização dos resultados do software Atlas TI. Os resultados foram organizados em quatro categorias e estas foram desmembradas. A pesquisa concluiu que, entre os principais fatores críticos para a sobrevivência das OETS estão a grande dependência de recursos incentivados, a insuficiência de financiamentos institucionais; pouca disponibilidade de verbas para os departamentos de comunicação, marketing e de captação de recursos, o modelo de financiamento ainda em construção no Brasil, a legislação que necessita de ser realinhada à realidade circundante e a dificuldade de mensurar resultados sociais. Em relação aos fatores facilitadores, os preponderantes foram a capacidade de articulação e de interlocução institucional e setorial com o poder público e com os diversos segmentos da sociedade, fazer parte de redes, a credibilidade e legitimidade da organização, o desenvolvimento de projetos que tenham relevância e impacto social, recursos humanos identificados com a causa social, a influência do setor na constituição de políticas públicas, a validação da metodologia, além da importância do empreendedor social.

Social entrepreneurs seek to create social value in various ways in the community. Notably, they encounter not only enabling factors but also face and attempt to deal with a variety of challenges in their endeavor to start and run social ventures. This academic paper adopts a single case study approach with the aims to explore challenges and attempts to deal with them, as well as enablers, in how Dr Govender sought to create social value within the community of Gelvandale in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Famhealth Medipark was chosen because it is unique and has been considered as an example of successful social entrepreneurship in Port Elizabeth. In the light of this, there has not been any previous study particularly focusing on its challenges and enablers in adding social value in the community through a multi-disciplinary venture. This research is valuable as it builds our understanding of how social entrepreneurs create social value. This qualitative study uses a single case study to focus on incidents of challenges and enabling factors as experienced, recollected and expressed by Dr Govender as a social entrepreneur. A variety of data, such as interview data collected through sampling incidents in nine in-depth initial and follow-up interviews, documents, audio documentaries and emails, were used. Open coding and constant comparison was used to analyze data and induce themes. Findings depict that Dr Govender as a social entrepreneur was propelled by four enablers: (1) strong enthusiasm to create positive change in others within a community, (2) network to resources, (3) a nurturing world view, and (4) consistent self-sacrifice. Dr Govender also revealed that he faced four types of challenges in setting up and operating Famhealth Medipark (FHM) as a vehicle with the sole purpose of creating and adding social value to the community of Gelvandale. Predominantly, (1) limitation of finance, (2) overwhelming effect of multiple roles, (3) negative effects of the non-accredited status of the care-giver training programme, and (4) the predominance of a destructive mindset entrenched within the Gelvandale community were key challenges he faced and attempted to deal with in setting up and operating a social venture to ultimately create social value. Although other types of data have been used, the predominant reliance on primary data collected through in-depth interviews is one of the major limitations of this qualitative study. However, this qualitative and exploratory study provides insights into our understanding of not only challenges encountered by social entrepreneurs but also the various drivers that sustain their social mission. Recommendations were then made, based on the findings from the research conducted.

Purpose: This paper investigates how sustainability reporting differs between state-owned enterprises and if there is a difference given the quality in the information within state-owned ownership. Theory: Begins with the reporting legislation and Global Reporting Initiative. Thereafter previous research is presented with sustainability reporting to define the quality concept. The theory ends with institutional logic. Method: This paper uses a qualitative method as the research design. The paper has used an assessment sheet composed by previous researchers. Empirics: Firstly the formulation of the sustainability reports for the companies are presented. Thereafter the reports relevance and reliability are revealed. Conclusions: In this report there is no difference of quality in the sustainability report within stateowned enterprises and partial state-owned enterprises. However, this study finds one other factor that has an impact between the enterprises.
Syfte: Studien undersöker hur hållbarhetsredovisningen skiljer sig åt mellan statligt ägda företag och om det är skillnad i informationens kvalitet utifrån den statliga ägarandelen. Teori: Börjar med lagstiftningen och Global Reporting Initiative därefter presenteras tidigare forskning inom hållbarhetsredovisning för att sedan definiera kvalitetsbegreppet. Teoriavsnittet avslutas med institutionell logik. Metod: Denna studie använder sig av en kvalitativ metod där forskningsstrategin består av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Studien har vidare använt sig av ett bedömningsschema som är framtaget av tidigare forskare. Empiri: I empirin presenteras först utformningen av hållbarhetsredovisningarna för de undersökta företagen för att sedan presentera resultatet av rapporternas relevans och trovärdighet. Slutsatser: Kvaliteten på hållbarhetsredovisningen inom statligt ägda företag är lika varandra och det framkommer inte någon större skillnad mellan helt och delvis statligt ägda företag. Däremot finner studien att det finns en annan faktor som påverkar skillnader mellan statligt ägda företag.

With this work I intended to approach the following research problem: In which ways do the religious organizations promote the entrepreneurship among their members and how they support the enterprising follower in Brazil? The research has the economic sociology approach and the strategy I employ in my research is a qualitative and comparative case study of two religious organizations. The first one is of the Catholic Church, called Focolare Movement. And the other one is of an Evangelical Church, locally denominated “Renascer em Cristo” (Reborn in Christ). The data were collected through observation, interviews and documental research. In general, the religious structures of the investigated organizations form a special type of social capital, denominated of spiritual capital – through closure of social networks, appropriable social organization, obligations and norms, information channels and religious networks of mutual aid – capable to create and support organizational resources, which are cultural/symbolic resources, formation, information and spiritual support/motivational spaces, and that are mobilized in a way that facilitates the entrepreneurs’ actions. These resources give relative advantages to the entrepreneurs, such as: religious technologies; psychological support; reduction of the costs of the collection and access to the information, of negotiation and of the establishment of contracts; specific information and interpreted in agreement with the religious world vision; a system of meanings that creates that world vision and sustained by the plausibility structures, giving them larger subjective degree of certainty, hope and faith concerning their businesses; services rendered technicians by members of the organization; development of the human capital due to the continuous learning through courses, seminars, lectures, and congresses; changes of experience; and possibilities of businesses, including possible partners, suppliers and customers.
Com esse trabalho me propus a abordar o seguinte problema de pesquisa: como as organizações religiosas incentivam o empreendedorismo e apóiam o empreendedor-adepto. A estratégia de pesquisa adotada foi o estudo de caso qualitativo e comparativo de duas organizações religiosas: uma evangélica (Igreja Renascer em Cristo) e outra católica (Movimento dos Focolares). Os dados foram coletados por meio de observação, entrevistas e pesquisa documental. Viu-se que, de modo geral, as estruturas religiosas das organizações investigadas formam um tipo especial de capital social, denominado de capital espiritual – por meio de “fechamento” de redes sociais, organização social apropriável, obrigações e normas, canais de informações e redes religiosas de ajuda mútua – capaz de criar e sustentar recursos organizacionais – quais sejam, recursos culturais/simbólicos, espaços de formação, informação e apoio espiritual/motivacional – e que são mobilizados de modo a facilitar as ações de seus empreendedores. Tais recursos dão vantagens relativas a esses empreendedores por oferecerem benefícios tais como: tecnologias religiosas; apoio psicológico; redução dos custos da coleta e acesso à informação, de negociação e do estabelecimento de contratos; informações específicas e interpretadas de acordo com a visão de mundo religiosa; um sistema de significados que cria essa visão de mundo e sustentada pelas estruturas de plausibilidade, dando-lhes maior grau subjetivo de certeza, esperança e fé acerca de seus negócios; prestações de serviços técnicos por parte de membros da organização; desenvolvimento do capital humano devido à aprendizagem contínua por meio de cursos, seminários, palestras, congressos; trocas de experiência; e possibilidades de negócios, incluindo possíveis parceiros, fornecedores e clientes.

Abstrakt Syftet med studien är att undersöka herrelitföreningarnas beroende av yttre partners. Samtidigt lyfta fram elitföreningarnas användning av kommersiell verksamhet och hur det påverkar deras ekonomi. Studien kommer också att diskutera fördelar och nackdelar som de undersökta föreningarna ser med införandet av idrottsaktiebolag, eftersom idrottsföreningens går mot ett mer företagsliknande förhållningssätt. Studien är förankrad i den osäkra miljön som bildas när kommersialisering och det ideella idealet ställs mot varandra inom svensk idrott. Forskning instämmer i att idrotten måste skapa en balans mellan kommersialisering och ideell idealet. Å andra sidan råder en viss oenighet om kommersiella intäkter handlar om vinstmaximering eller nyttomaximering. Resource Dependence Theory används för att förklara hur partners minskar deras beroende och osäkerheter i miljön de arbetar i förhållande till yttre partners. Metoden som används är en blandning av kvantitativ och kvalitativ forskning, genom ett frågeformulär som innehåller frågor i en blandning av enkätfrågor och semistrukturerade intervjufrågor. Sexton respondenter deltog i studien. Studien visar att herrelitföreningar tycker att samarbete med externa partners är något att sträva efter, men att det också skapar ett beroende av dessa externa partners. Det verkar också som om beroendet är oförändrat oavsett sammansättningsform.
Abstract The purpose of the study is to investigate the dependence of associations on external organizations. At the same time highlight the sports associations' use of commercial activities and how it affects their finances. The study will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages that the surveyed associations see with the incorporation of sports associations, as the sports associations world is moving towards a more corporate-like approach. The study is rooted in the uncertain environment that is formed when commercialization and the non-profit ideal are set against each other within Swedish sports. Research agrees that sport needs to strike a balance between commercialization and the non-profit ideal. On the other hand, there is disagreement as to whether commercial revenue is about profit maximization or utility maximization. Resource Dependence Theory is used to explain how organizations reduce their dependence and uncertainties in the environment they operate in relation to external partners. The method applied is a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research, through a questionnaire containing questions in a mixture of survey and semi-structured interview questions. Sixteen respondents participated in the study. The study shows that elite sports associations find that collaboration with external organizations is something to strive for, but that it also creates a dependency on these external organizations. It also appears that the dependency is unchanged regardless of the form of association.

This study examines critical factors influencing the success of the future hybrid social enterprise (SE) ClimAct. Hybrid SEs seek to create both sustainable solutions for neglected societal problems and economic value (Battilana & Lee, 2014). ClimAct aims to increase climate change knowledge among German high school students by offering free online courses, and to generate revenues by offering paid environmental training for employees to companies. In particular, this study investigates whether a societal problem of a lack of knowledge exists among German high school students (RQ1), whether increased knowledge positively influences climate-friendly behavior (CFB), thereby creating positive spillover effects for society and environment (RQ2), and which factors make it more likely for companies to adopt and pay for ClimAct’s service (RQ3). To answer RQ1 and RQ2, an online survey was conducted among 506 German high school students. A multiple linear regression model was developed to test the influence of climate change knowledge dimensions on CFB while controlling for other likely influencing factors. For RQ3, 12 interviews with representatives from companies differing in size and industry were conducted. It was found that high school students show high levels of factual knowledge but low levels of action-related knowledge. Notably, action-related knowledge was the only knowledge dimension significantly relating to CFB. Equally, interview participants showed highest interest in adopting training focusing on action-related knowledge. The results indicate that ClimAct should primarily aim to teach action-related knowledge since it can produce positive spillover effects.
Este estudo analisa factores críticos que influenciam o sucesso da futura empresa social híbrida ClimAct, que visa não só criar soluções sustentáveis para problemas sociais neglenciados, como também gerar valor económico. A ClimAct pretende aumentar o conhecimento sobre alterações climáticas no ensino secundário alemão, proporcionando cursos online gratuitos, gerando receitas através de formação ambiental a empresas. É averiguado se os alunosdo ensino secundário alemão carecem de conhecimento sobre as alterações climáticas (QI1); se, aumentando este conhecimento, o seu comportamento torna-se mais amigo do ambiente (CAA), gerando efeitos positivos indiretos na sociedade e no ambiente (QI2), e ainda quais os factores mais importantes para as empresas adoptarem e pagarem pelos serviços da ClimAct (QI3). Para responder às QI1 e QI2, foi realizado um inquérito online a 506 estudantes alemães do ensino secundário. O modelo de regressão linear múltipla desenvolvido mede o impacto do nível de conhecimento sobre as alterações climáticas no CAA, controlando simultaneamente outros factores potencialmente influenciadores. Para a QI3, foram realizadas 12 entrevistas com representantes de empresas de diferentes dimensões e indústrias. Os estudantes do ensino secundário demonstraram elevados níveis de conhecimento teórico, mas baixos níveis de conhecimento prático (CP). De facto, foi a única dimensão de conhecimento que influenciou significativamente o CAA. Do mesmo modo, os participantes das entrevistas demonstraram especial interesse em adoptar uma formação baseada em CP. Os resultados indicam que a ClimAct deve centrar-se no ensino de CP, o que também pode produzir efeitos positivos indiretos na sociedade e no ambiente.

This thesis explores what strategies social business hybrids should adopt to overcome chal-lenges in scaling their business. To answer this question, I selected the social business hybrid OpenForests, a startup that supports sustainable landscape projects, for an inductive case study and gathered information by conducting interviews and collecting external data. The results revealed that OpenForests faces three major challenges in human resources, external funding, and performance management. Based on research on social enterprises and hybrid organiza-tions, I developed the following proposed solutions: OpenForests should adopt different hiring approaches depending on the job role and its relationship to the organization's dual goals, seek an impact investor for external funding based on matching profit and impact aspirations, and adopt new commercial and impact KPIs to streamline and monitor its financial and environ-mental performance. The findings contribute to a better and deeper understanding of the chal-lenges social business hybrids face in scaling their business and propose possible solutions.
Esta dissertação explora quais as estratégias que os negócios sociais híbridos devem adotar para fazer face aos desafios provenientes do crescimento organizacional. Para responder a esta questão, a start-up OpenForests que apoia o desenvolvimento de projetos paisagísticos sustentáveis e que é reconhecida como pelo seu negócio social híbrido, foi selecionada para um estudo de caso que se rege ao método indutivo. Para suportar esta análise, os dados recolhidos através de entrevistas e dados externos. Os resultados revelam que a OpenForests enfrenta três grandes desafios que abrangem os recursos humanos, financiamento externo e gestão de desempenho. Tendo em conta a investigação sobre empresas sociais e organizações híbridas, a OpenForests deverá adotar as seguintes soluções: diferentes abordagens de contratação em função do cargo do trabalhor e da relação com o duplo propósito da organização; procurar um investidor de impacto para financiamento externo baseado na combinação de aspirações de lucro e impacto; e a adoção de novos KPI do processo comercial e de impacto para racionalizar e monitorizar os resultados financeiros e ambientais. As conclusões contribuem para uma melhor e mais profunda compreensão dos desafios que os negócios sociais híbridos enfrentam na otimização do seu desempenho e a recomendação de possíveis soluções.
