“…Its mission often involves reducing poverty, providing job opportunities to disadvantaged groups, granting access to products or services that were previously unavailable to people [50,51], and empowering people [2]; these objectives sometimes overlap with the SDGs. Social entrepreneurs seem to have a more profound sense of community that translates into having more inter-sectoral alliances [52]. Neumeyer and Santos [53] pointed out the need to understand under what conditions social mechanisms foster the ecosystem.…”

This study aims to explore how a region’s degree of vulnerability influences the perceived level of support toward social entrepreneurship from a social entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective. The study of social entrepreneurial ecosystems (SEEs) constitutes a promising area for its potential to support high-impact entrepreneurs, but they are currently underexplored in upper-middle-income countries. This study also combines a macro-level (countries) and a meso-level (vulnerability regions) analysis to better understand how national policies may affect the perceptions of different ‘regions’ and, consequently, sustainable economic development. This study follows principal component analysis and non-parametric statistics to compare the means of the countries and the levels of regions’ vulnerabilities based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s regional data from Chilean (n = 276) and Mexican (n = 188) experts. At the macro level, the results show that experts in Chile have a better perception of social policies for social entrepreneurship than their counterparts in Mexico. At the meso-level, experts in high-vulnerability regions have a better perception of the social ecosystem dynamism than those in the low-vulnerability regions. The results contribute to the urgent dialogue to set up strategies that allow upper-middle-income countries and their regions to achieve greater impact and sustainability.

“…Contemporary scholarship underscores the multifaceted implications of associativity. Naclerio and Trucco (2015), Ceballos et al (2014), andVázquez andPortales (2014) converge on the assertion that cooperative organizations, underpinned by associativity principles, are instrumental in local development and socioeconomic upliftment. This perspective finds resonance in Foronda-Robles and Galindo-Pérezde-Azpillaga's (2012) research, with their emphasis on associativity as a vessel of social capital.…”

This study aims to structure guidelines for an intervention model from the perspective of Integral Project Management to improve the competitiveness level of cacao associations in south region of Colombia. The research followed a mixed-method approach with a non-experimental cross-sectional design and a descriptive scope. The study employed a stage-based analytical framework which included: identifying the factors influencing the competitiveness of the cacao sector; grouping these factors under the six primary determinants of competitiveness with reference to Porter’s Diamond Model; and proposing guidelines for an intervention model to enhance the competitiveness of the studied associations through project management. The first stage was conducted via literature review. The second stage involved primary data collected through surveys and interviews with the associations, members, and cacao sector experts in Huila. The third stage entailed grouping the factors within the main determinants that promote and limit the competitiveness of the cacao sector in the context of Porter’s Diamond Model. Based on the analysis of the corresponding restrictive and promoting factors, strategic recommendations were formulated for the various sector stakeholders on the measures that can be adopted to address restrictive factors and maintain promoting factors to enhance and sustain the sector's competitiveness.

“…Los indicadores de éxito también se diferencian. El principal indicador es el cambio logrado en las condiciones que le dieron lugar, es decir, el impacto que genera en la problemática que desea atender (Portales & Arandia Pérez, 2015;Vázquez-Maguirre & Portales, 2014). Si se logra generar un impacto social, entonces se estará cumpliendo con la misión de la empresa y se buscará la forma de escalar el modelo (Barki, Comini, Cunliffe, Hart & Rai, 2015).…”

“…Esta escuela se caracteriza por la generación de dinámicas organizacionales horizontales e inclusivas, en donde los beneficiarios son los encargados de generar los ingresos o ganancias necesarios para superar sus condiciones de pobreza o vulnerabilidad (Herrero-Blasco, 2014). El éxito se concentra en la capacidad que tienen los beneficiarios para atender a sus necesidades económicas y sociales en el largo plazo, así como de generar estrategias de sustentabilidad que incrementen la calidad de vida y reduzcan los patrones de marginación (Vázquez-Maguirre & Portales, 2014).…”

Revista de Pensament i Anàlisi, 23, pp. 43-66. ResumenEl emprendimiento social es visualizado como alternativa para responder a las consecuencias que ha generado el neoliberalismo a nivel mundial. La revisión del concepto, desde una perspectiva axiológica y pragmática, por parte de algunos autores, demuestra que el emprendimiento social, lejos de ser una alternativa al neoliberalismo es una continuidad de este. El presente artículo estudia la relación que tiene el emprendimiento social y el neoliberalismo en función de los elementos ontológicos que lo conforman y las escuelas de pensamiento sobre las que se ha implementado. El resultado muestra las paradojas que presenta el concepto a nivel ontológico, y cómo los emprendimientos sociales desarrollados desde la escuela de economía social tienen una mayor capacidad de generar una ruptura con el sistema e ideología neoliberal; mientras que los emprendimientos desarrollados bajo el paraguas de la escuela de innovación social, tienden a generar una continuidad al neoliberalismo.Palabras clave: emprendimiento social, neoliberalismo, elementos ontológicos, escuelas de pensamiento. AbstractSocial entrepreneurship is visualized as an alternative to respond to the consequences generated by neoliberalism worldwide. The review of the concept, from an axiological and practical perspective by several authors, has shown that social entrepreneurship is an alternative to neoliberalism. This article studies the relationship between social entrepreneurship and neoliberalism regarding the ontological elements that make it up and the schools of thought on which it has implemented. The result shows the paradoxes that present the concept at the ontological level, and how the enterprises of the School of Economics have a higher capacity to generate a rupture with the neoliberal system and ideology; while
