“…Therefore, most RBV studies consider several financial indicators to assess performance (Melville, Kraemer, & Gurbaxani, 2004). Scholars have also considered the firm's relative position in the market (Bruque, Moyano, Vargas, & Hern andez, 2003), growth in sales (Tippins & Sohi, 2003) and revenue (Rai, Patnayakuni, & Seth, 2006). In this study, our focus was on the effect of crowdsourcing for marketing and innovation purposes.…”

Crowdsourcing provides an opportunity for SMEs to exploit collective knowledge that is located outside the organisation. Crowdsourcing allows organisations to keep pace with a fastchanging environment by solving business problems, supporting R&D activities, and fostering innovation cheaply, flexibly, and dynamically. Nevertheless, managing crowdsourcing is difficult, and positive outcomes are not guaranteed. Drawing on the Resource-based View, we study transformational leadership and organisational learning capability as complementary assets to help SMEs deploy crowdsourcing. An empirical study of Spanish telecommunications and biotechnology companies confirmed the moderating effect of organisational learning on the relationship between crowdsourcing and organisational performance.

RESUMEN: Hay plena coincidencia sobre la importancia de las transformaciones sociales y económicas que las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación han originado en las últimas décadas. Las empresas de base tecnológica (EBT) muestran una capacidad extraordinaria para ofrecer nuevas soluciones, tanto a las necesidades emergentes como a otras que han estado insatisfechas por largos períodos de tiempo, y su impacto económico y social es indudable por su aportación al crecimiento económico y por ser elementos indispensables en la transferencia de tecnología desde los sistemas de innovación a los mercados y la sociedad.En este contexto cabe entender el interés de la Economía Social por tener una participación creciente en las actividades de base tecnológica o basadas en el conocimiento. Dicha participación fortalecería el sector, elevando sus tasas de crecimiento a medio y largo plazo; mejorando su contribución relativa a las macromagnitudes autonómicas y estatales; incorporando nuevos perfiles de trabajadores/as y de empresas, y elevando las condiciones laborales medias del sector. Este artículo profundiza en la relación entre las empresas de Economía Social y el emprendimiento de base tecnológica a través de un análisis cualitativo que incorpora la visión de los principales actores. A partir de ese análisis se identifican las principales líneas de avance del sector agrupadas en cuatro ejes: mejora de la visibilidad de la Economía social, acercamiento de la Economía social a los nuevos perfiles de emprendedores de base tecnológica, asesoramiento y acompañamiento en las etapas iniciales, y apoyo en las fases de crecimiento y consolidación.PALABRAS CLAVE: Economía Social, emprendimiento de base tecnológica, emprendimiento basado en el conocimiento, sectores emergentes, análisis cualitativo, tendencias.CLAVES ECONLIT: L31, O31, O33, M15. EXPANDED ABSTRACT The Social Economy within Technology Based Entrepreneurship in Spain. A qualitative approachThere is a wide consensus regarding the importance of social and economic transformations that new technologies, especially Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), have had in the last decades. ICT companies show an extraordinary capacity to offer new solutions to emerging and unsatisfied needs. Their social and economic impact is unquestionable in relation to their contribution to economic growth and they are also essential elements in the transfer of technology from national innovation systems to markets and society in general.In this context, we can understand the interest Social Economy firms have in increasing their presence within emerging technology-based activities. This presence will contribute to strengthening the Social Economy (SE) sector in several aspects: increasing its growth rates in the medium and long term; improving its relative contribution to regional and national macro-economic indicators; incorporating new profiles of workers and companies; and improving working conditions in the sector. ObjectivesThe objective of this paper is to assess ...

“…Cooperatives differ from capitalist companies in that they ''put people at the centre of their business and not capital'' (ICA). In other words, while the underlying motivation for a capitalist company is the possibility for shareholders to obtain profits on their investments in the business, the main incentive for a cooperative company is the satisfaction of a common socio-economic necessity (Bruque et al, 2003). As the ICA website states, cooperatives follow ''a broader set of values than those associated purely with making a profit.''…”

“…These values include: self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity (ICA). In a cooperative, organizational power is related to the individual but not to the capital -active participation in the production and/or commercialization process is what legitimizes an individual's decision-making capacity (Bruque et al, 2003). The democratic decisions made by a cooperative thus balance ''the need for profitability with the needs of their members and the wider interests of the community'' (ICA).…”
