“…Even though the models on the literature present the social innovation process as decoupled from the other actors, this study advances the literature by proposing a social innovation process that involves different partners throughout its phases. This conclusion corroborates the argument already established by some authors (Celi et al, 2015;Kolk and Lenfant, 2015;Komatsu-Cipriani et al, 2020;Phillips et al, 2015;Rizzo et al, 2015;Saji and Ellingstad, 2016;van Wijk et al, 2019;Westley and Antadze, 2010) that social innovation is something built through partnerships, not in isolation. Our study shows how this feature happens within the social innovation process.…”

“…Such a finding differs from Murray et al (2010), who view institutional change as the last stage of the social innovation process. On the other hand, the study by Komatsu-Cipriani et al (2020) showed that most of the innovations they studied did not expand their presence and did not intend to do so.…”

“…The study by Komatsu-Cipriani et al (2020) analyses 60 cases of social innovation in Europe and does not identify a process divided into phases. The authors even argue that "if new initiatives were to be based solely on rational planning, SIs would almost never take place".…”

“…When the social entrepreneur as the leading actor in the initial recognition of the problem, this study corroborates the arguments of Murray et al (2010) and Phillips et al (2015) that highlight the entrepreneur as the leading agent in the initial stages of social innovation. Often the entrepreneur has only their own resources at the beginning of the social innovation process (Komatsu-Cipriani et al, 2020). Thus, the first phase of the process occurs at a micro-level, basically based on the social entrepreneur's work.…”

“…Our data indicate an implementation as a complex process, time-consuming and full of development cycles. The literature has suggested that the process of implementing social innovations is complex mainly due to multiple demands, such as social mission and financial sustainability and resource constraints (Komatsu-Cipriani et al, 2020).…”

PurposeSocial innovation has been attracting attention in the literature and the practice field due to its intention to create social value. However, the social innovation process is still poorly studied and is marked by several disagreements in the existing models, often built from data coming from developed countries. So, the focus of this study is to answer the following research question: how is the social innovation process configured in a developing context?Design/methodology/approachThe study investigated three cases of Brazilian social innovation processes through a qualitative approach. The authors also use the institutional levels perspectives to analyse the cases.FindingsThe main findings indicate that the social innovation process comprises five phases and occurs between the micro, meso and macro institutional levels. Besides, the social innovation process relies on the participation of different partners, in a non-sequential process, with the possibility of returning from one stage to another and is evaluated continuously over time.Practical implicationsThis study may be useful for social entrepreneurs and their teams in organisations that generate social innovations (such as social enterprises) to understand how well-established initiatives have organised themselves over time. Public policymakers may also use the insights provided to create more favourable environments to create new social innovation initiatives and expand the existing ones.Originality/valueThe characteristics of the social innovation process revealed in this study contributes to the advancement of the area, mainly because it considers the perspective of institutional levels and is based on data from a developing country.

Bridging the Gap Transnationally—Coupling Migrants' Informal and Formal Business Activities Through Hybrid Business Models

Multifocal practices allow transnational migrant entrepreneurs (TMEs) to access extended opportunity structures in diverse entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). National and regional regulations, customer relations, market demands, networks, and country‐specific entrepreneurial statuses facilitate the strategic coupling of informal and formal business structures toward hybrid business models. However, “how” TMEs innovate and develop approaches to build from informal, formal business models in parallel across national borders remains largely underexplored. Our multiple case study presents three Polish–German TMEs who operate on a multifocal basis in different ecosystems. The longitude study of these entrepreneurs illustrates how transnational migrant businesses can change the owners' power dynamics, habitus, and feelings of belonging while counteracting social exclusion and self‐discrimination. Our study contributes to the theoretical debate by illuminating the pathway between informality and formality facilitated by migrant entrepreneurs' transnational business models and their multifocal practices, possibly turning into transnational embeddedness in two or more ecosystems.
