Emprendimiento social como una fuerza para las sociedades más inclusivas e innovadoras: Un análisis y elaboración de perfiles de las empresas con fines sociales en España
Full text linkA lo largo de los meses entre abril y diciembre de 2015, el consorcio SEFORÏS encuestó a más de 1000 empresas con fines sociales en Hungría, Rumania, España, Portugal, Alemania, Suecia, Reino Unido, Rusia y China. Esto signifca que gracias a la cooperación diligente de las empresas con fines sociales y la financiación de la Unión Europea hemos sido capaces de poner en marcha una base de datos de tipo panel de las empresas con fines sociales más grande y rigurosa del mundo. Este informe presenta los resultados más importantes para España. Siempre que es posible, comparamos los resultados con los resultados de la encuesta SELUSI 2009, el predecesor del proyecto SEFORÏS. Este informe está diseñado para ayudar a las empresas con fines sociales establecer un punto de referencia para comparar su organización con otras empresas con fines sociales en España. Su objetivo consiste en ayudarles a posicionar mejor su organización (por ejemplo, captar lo que le distingue de las demás, detectar fácilmente las diferencias y similitudes respecto a las organizaciones del mismo sector). El informe también será útil para las organizaciones de apoyo y los responsables políticos para obtener una visión general de las empresas con fines sociales en España

By situating our research in the context of institutional voids and deep poverty, we draw attention to the role of non- marginalized actors in making dis-empowered actors in an informal economy, resilient to various disruptions, and specifically caused by socio-economic and legal bodies. Starting from the premises that poverty is a symptom of a lack of capabilities required to achieve full economic and social citizenship, we focus on developing resilience of the informal economy participants as an important, however understudied aspect of the informal economy. With our work, we highlight the importance of resilience in institutional change. We do so, by presenting resilience building mechanisms that lead to institutional change
