Modelling of Cross-Organisational Cooperation for Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of the study is to advance the conceptualisation of social entrepreneurship and report the results of empirical research related to the identification of the architecture of the model of interorganisational collaboration for the growth of social entrepreneurship potential at the local level. Research Design and Methods: The research presented in the article is based on a case study performed on an example of the Polish institutional landscape. Multidimensional empirical research methodology was applied in the form of participant observation, analysis of focus group results and business modelling techniques. The literature review contains an analysis of reports from the area of social economy and related fields. Findings: The result of the conducted research is the discovery of primary dimensions of effective interorganisational cooperation in the form of an analogue-representational model. Implication/Recommendations: In the process of strengthening the potential of social entrepreneurship, the cooperation of actors from different organisational fields is a key factor. An appropriate level of social capital is an essential requirement for effective cooperation. Contribution/Value Added: The developed model of cooperation for social entrepreneurship is based on an initiative that is unique and innovative on a national scale and is the result of empirical research. It also seems that the approach presented may be universal and could be extrapolated to other regions and cultural contexts. Article Classification: Research article.

Knowledge base for social capital's role in scaling social impact: A bibliometric analysis

“…Research theme within this cluster is mainly focused on different ways to conceptualize social capital. For example, social capital is conceptualized as consisting of inter‐organizational trust, acceptance of shared goals and values and sharing of knowledge, skills, and experience for the advancement of social entrepreneurship potential at local level (Pachura, 2021). On the other hand, it is conceptualized as having features such as solidarity, trust, extra‐community networks, vertical civil society links, and state‐society relation at the local level in the context of community‐based health insurance in low‐income countries (Mladovsky & Mossialos, 2008).…”

“…Desde el punto de vista teórico se observan puntos de coincidencias entre las dimensiones obtenidas en el estudio y las propuestas por los diferentes autores analizados (Weerawardena & Sullivan Mort, 2006;Moulaert et al, 2014;Comisión Europea, 2016;Pachura, 2021). Ello se observa en la Tabla 1.…”

“…En el caso de la dimensión social es tenida en cuenta por el 50 % de los autores analizados (Avellán-Solines, 2018; Moulaert et al, 2014;Comisión Europea, 2016), de allí se interpreta que los otros autores (Weerawardena & Sullivan Mort, 2006;Pachura, 2021) no tienen en cuenta en sus propuestas la dinámica económica y comercial de la región o país, así como otras variables del ámbito sociodemográfico que son las que van a ejecutar, desarrollar y sostener esos proyectos, centrándose en dimensiones más cercanas a la acción de emprender en sí misma. Este último enfoque reduccionista deja brechas al análisis del tema, pues evidencia una limitada visión sobre la influencia directa en el ecosistema económico y emprendedor de la región y del país en general.…”

“…En cuanto a la dimensión dispositivos de investigación en ES solo se observa una coincidencia en el 25 % en los autores examinados (Pachura, 2021) de muy reciente publicación. Lo anterior ilustra la importancia conferida en los últimos años a las estructuras que potencien la gestión de la información y el conocimiento en el ámbito social.…”
