The literature presented in the following pages explores the shortcomings of the American public education system in the context of creating long-term, sustainable social change. Using financial illiteracy and its relationship to low quality of life as an entry point, the first section exposes public schools’ shortcomings as agents of social change by delving into the hardships endured by the original public school promoters of the 19th century, the pitfalls of President George W. Bush’s 2001 enactment of No Child Left Behind, and the shortcomings of the financial literacy programming that found traction in urban schools following the subprime lending crisis. These examples render the public education system unfit to address social change, at which point the paper segues into a discussion of social enterprise and the new field’s demonstrated potential to capture social value. After a brief historical exploration of social innovation which examines some values and principles of this “fourth sector,” successful ventures and failed social organizations are scrutinized in the penultimate chapter. The comparisons made ultimately argue in favor of social entrepreneurship’s fitness, on both a structural and ideological level, in addressing the complex social, environmental, and cultural issues of our time.

A organização e o empreendedor social desempenham papel preponderante no processo de implementar a inovação social. Com esse foco, o presente estudo apresenta a matriz do empreendedorismo social como um pano de fundo para compreender a interação entre empreendedor e organização. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo geral analisar diferentes tipos de organizações sob a ótica da matriz do empreendedorismo social que implantam práticas de inovação social e os impactos causados na vida dos beneficiários. O referencial teórico apresenta a evolução do conceito e focos de estudo da inovação social, o empreendedorismo social e suas características, a organização social vista sob a abordagem de negócios sociais e a visão sobre a aplicação da matriz do empreendedorismo social. A pesquisa classifica-se de cunho descritiva e qualitativa, com entrevistas com empreendedores sociais e beneficiários das ações de inovação social das organizações estudadas, de acordo com a classificação dos quadrantes da matriz. Foi utilizado um roteiro semiestruturado, contendo perguntas abertas relacionadas as categorias como: características empreendedoras, desafios, perspectivas futuras e benefícios sociais . A análise dos dados foi por meio da análise de conteúdo e relação entre as categorias de análise. Os resultados indicaram que as organizações possuem características distintas apontadas pelo modelo adotado pela matriz do empreendedorismo social, havendo dificuldades de classifica-las adequadamente. A realização pessoal dos empreendedores está relacionada aos benefícios sociais proporcionados aos indivíduos e a comunidade. Os impactos da inovação social apresentam-se de forma clara e transparente para os beneficiários, pois resultam em melhoria da qualidade de vida de forma sustentável, expressos em autossuficiência individual, familiar, comunitária e organizacional. / The study of social innovation is based on the identification of opportunities and improvements to the individual’s life and its dissemination to society as a way to mitigate the social imbalance. The organization and social entrepreneur play a preponderant role in the process of implementing social innovation. With this focus, this study brings the social entrepreneurship array as background to understand the interaction between entrepreneur and organization. This research aims at analyzing different types of organizations implementing social innovation and the motivations of entrepreneurs and its impacts. The theoretical presents the evolution of the concept and focus of the study of social innovation, social entrepreneurship and its characteristics, social organization and approach on the social entrepreneurship matrix.

Over the last three decades, scholars in management, policy, and geography have examined the growing economic, social, and spatial impact of the financial sector. Venture capital firms have been a focus, generating a contested but deep literature around the roles of such "value-adding" capital providers in supporting the growth of firms, industries, and various territorial innovation models. In parallel, there has been substantial government support-financial, regulatory, and otherwise-of these private sector financial intermediaries, despite scepticism. The past twenty years have seen the emergence and rapid growth of analogous funders in the third sector, itself the realm of substantial experimentation and growth. These new intermediaries, "venture philanthropists", have become important players in shaping, structuring, and channelling funding to the third sector. The activities and effects of venture philanthropists are underexplored, as are their growing interactions with governments-despite intentional and striking similarities between the evolution of venture capital and that of venture philanthropy. This dissertation addresses these gaps by systematically examining the emergence, evolution, and operational practices of two influential British venture philanthropy funds: the first such fund in Europe (Impetus Trust) and the first fund in the world co-created with the state (Inspiring Scotland). The two venture philanthropy organisations (VPOs)-one with roots in venture capital, the other with roots in the voluntary and government sectors-both conducted the venture capital-inspired operational model of venture philanthropy in similar ways. That said, the VPOs reflected the logics and practices of their founders and funders. Impetus Trust more closely resembled early-stage venture capital, with a reliance on London-based networks, funders, and service providers-and a heavily London-focused portfolio. Inspiring Scotland evidenced the logics of government rather than charity in several instances, with substantial original research into social issues, heavily structured portfolios on set timelines, and regionally-distributed staff. This approach broadened access, allowing support of SPOs and their clients across various (and underserved) geographies, but limited options for opportunity-driven or expressive functions of philanthropy. I surveyed the CEOs of most organisations supported by the two venture philanthropy funds (82 of 98 charities and social businesses), supplemented by interviews of selected CEOs and the founders and staff of the two funds. I find that, overall, the two VPOs each engaged in seven core activities of venture capital, intentionally adapting them to the third sector: sourcing and selection, due diligence, an engaged relationship, provision of funding, provision of non-financial support, creation of network linkages, and intentional exiting of relationships. As in venture capital, this process had broader effects: providing signals of investee quality, preparing investees for subsequent funding, and expanding networks. The combination of long-term relationships and high formal reporting requirements imposed significant costs for SPOs-and also created a virtuous cycle of trust and collaboration between VPOs and SPOs. The venture philanthropy model also had broader societal effects, creating data regarding individual organisations and the efficacy of responses to social issues, which in both cases informed policy. As intermediaries, venture philanthropists decreased power differentials and improved the flow of (oft-anonymized) information amongst funders, statutory bodies, and funded organisations, facilitating several types of collaboration. SPO managers indicated that they received, on average, approximately ten different types of non-financial support-like strategy consulting, human resources support, or legal counsel. These managers reported in interviews and surveys that the non-financial services provided by venture philanthropists were highly valued, on average. Further, managers believed these services provided more value than it cost the VPOs to provide them. Likewise, managers highly valued most forms of new networking connections (though not all services or linkages were found to be valuable). Smaller SPOs valued services and network links more highly than larger SPOs, although all sizes of SPOs indicated both were valuable, on average. Importantly, this data was provided by SPO managers and focused on the SPO-VPO dyad-rather than provided by VPOs and focused at the portfolio or trust level. This filled an important gap in the literature: academics and practitioners often lament that the voices of charities supported by foundations are not often enough heard, which limits our understanding of many aspects of organizational philanthropy and its effects-in particular the burdens and benefits for recipient organisations. I documented the co-creation of the first government-supported venture philanthropy fund through eleven interviews with founding managers and government officials. This model, in which state, private, and civil society actors collectively founded and funded a value-adding capital provider, militates against neoliberal assumptions of an ever-diminishing state, as does the leveraging of private resources in alignment with state aims-though it raises concerns around democratic processes, accountability, and local control. This work helps inform the changing nature of the voluntary sector and its relationship with the state. I focus on the increasing interaction of actors between and across systems-sometimes in new roles and coordinated by new intermediaries-in the allocation of resources and delivery of services in the public interest. These new interactions inform broad bodies of work that seek to understand changing sectoral roles, most notably discourses surrounding neoliberalism(s), financialisation, and public management. Overall, I find privately- and publicly-funded venture philanthropy playing a role in the third sector analogous to the role of venture capital in the private sector, with similar practices and concomitant effects in data generation, network formation and strengthening, facilitating partnerships, and signalling the quality of supported organisations. By examining two such emerging models of capital provision, I contribute grounded understanding of the way such systems are created and function across the private, public, and third sectors.

La presente investigación se desarrolló a partir de los diversos problemas sociales que acontecen en nuestro país, debido a que las empresas sociales cumplen un rol fundamental en grupos vulnerables; se determinó como finalidad principal de esta investigación el estudio de estas en base a variables de gestión, que según la literatura afectarían el rendimiento de estas organizaciones. De esta manera, se plantea conocer el comportamiento del rendimiento financiero de las empresas sociales en estudio y de las variables orientación al mercado y orientación empresarial; según si estas poseen una orientación empresarial y al mercado: fuertes o débiles. Asimismo, se consideró relevante definir el tipo de interacción entre las variables orientación al mercado y orientación empresarial y se planteó identificar si las variables orientación al mercado y orientación empresarial influyen en la variable rendimiento financiero en las empresas sociales. En ese sentido, se busca que las empresas sociales puedan garantizar una contribución constante a aquellos sectores desatendidos a través de la autosostenibilidad financiera. Sin embargo, los hallazgos para la muestra del presente estudio demostraron que no es posible afirmar la existencia de la relación entre el rendimiento financiero y las orientaciones empresarial y al mercado. No obstante, se determinó que para dicha muestra existen indicios de interacción entre las variables independientes orientación empresarial y al mercado. / The present research has taken place from the diverse social problems in our country, so that social enterprises fulfill a fundamental role of contribution in vulnerable groups, the main purpose of this research was to study the behavior of their financial performance based on management variables; that according to the literature would affect the financial performance of these organizations. In this way, it is intended to know the behavior of the financial performance of the social enterprises under study and the market orientation and business orientation variables. For which, it was determined if these have a business orientation and market: strong or weak. Likewise, it was considered relevant to define the type of interaction between the market orientation and business orientation variables; It was also intended to identify if the market orientation and business orientation variables influence the variable financial performance in the context of the social ecosystem. In this sense, it is expected that business companies can guarantee a constant contribution to those sectors unattended through financial self-sustainability. However, the findings for the present sample show that it is not possible to affirm the existence relationship between profitability and business and market orientation in our study sample. Likewise, it was determined that for this sample there are possible signs of interaction between the independent variables, the business orientation and market orientation. / Tesis

The United Arab Emirates are challenged to include the national workforce into their increasingly diversified and knowledge-based economic vision. The federal Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development incubates Sougha, a non-profit company acting as market intermediary for Emirati artisans. This study aims at providing an insight into Sougha‘s potential to become a social enterprise. A pragmatic and exploratory approach is followed. An iterative process underpins the concept of social enterprise from established literature, re-visits it through a social constructivist lens as an emerging topic in the GCC region, and benchmarks Sougha against two selected social enterprise frameworks, based on data analysis from documents and interviews. Sougha demonstrates social value creation while its commercial value creation is restricted to social mission activities. Financial motives are insufficiently reflected in Sougha‘s strategic documentation; leaving doubt to whether Sougha is genuinely seeking financial sustainability, which endangers its eligibility as a social enterprise. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

Os negócios sociais surgem como alternativas aos modelos de negócio tradicionais, ao harmonizar a busca pelo impacto positivo na sociedade e as atividades comerciais de geração de renda, combinando a lógica de mercado com a necessidade filantrópica, a fim de atingir uma missão social; no entanto, seu caráter híbrido carrega tensões intrínsecas do esforço de equilibrar esses dois aspectos. Sistemas de mensuração e gestão de desempenho podem ter um papel importante neste contexto, ao permitir a avaliação da adesão da organização aos objetivos sociais, por meio de métricas financeiras e sociais alinhadas à sua estratégia. Entender de que modo a adoção desses sistemas pode influenciar a gestão e orientar a criação de valor social nesses empreendimentos é o objetivo deste trabalho. Para isso, o Social Enterprise Balanced Scorecard (SEBC), uma versão do Balanced Scorecard de Kaplan e Norton, foi utilizado como modelo de análise. O estudo foi efetivado por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, baseada no estudo de casos múltiplos e em entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com representantes de cinco negócios sociais brasileiros, de naturezas jurídicas diversas. Os dados coletados foram consolidados e os indicadores analisados e distribuídos segundo as perspectivas do SEBC. O trabalho demonstrou que, das cinco organizações, três possuíam sistemas de mensuração implementados, com uma tendência maior de adoção nos negócios do terceiro setor. No entanto, a avaliação das métricas demonstrou uma predominância da medição de outputs, uma medição limitada de outcomes mais generalistas e a ausência de medição de impacto, sugerindo um potencial desalinhamento entre as métricas de desempenho e a missão social da organização. Outro ponto constatado foi a vinculação da missão social à figura do empreendedor, caracterizando uma abordagem mais pessoa-dependente e menos processo-dependente. Por fim, os resultados do trabalho apontam para a potencial aplicabilidade do Social Enterprise Balanced Scorecard como mecanismo de mensuração e gestão no contexto dos negócios sociais, ao proporcionar uma visão mais equilibrada do seu desempenho. / The increase in competitiveness, macroeconomic scenario and the growing importance of social and environmental aspects, associated with the exhaustion of conventional business models focused primarily on economic profit, stimulate the emergence of new business models, focused on obtaining economic gain and meeting the social expectations. Social businesses emerge as alternatives to traditional business models, by harmonizing the search for positive impact on society and commercial income-generating activities, combining market logic with philanthropic need in order to achieve a social mission; however, its hybrid character carries intrinsic tensions in the effort to balance these two aspects. In this context, performance measurement and management systems can play an important role by allowing the assessment of the organization's adherence to its social objectives, by using financial and social metrics aligned with its strategy. Understanding how the adoption of these systems influences the management and creation of social value in these enterprises is the main objective of this work. The Social Enterprise Balanced Scorecard (SEBC) - a version of the Balanced Scorecard of Kaplan and Norton - was used as the analysis model. The study was carried out through a qualitative, exploratory research, based on the study of multiple cases and semi-structured interviews with representatives of five Brazilian social businesses, of different legal natures. The data collected were consolidated and the indicators analyzed and distributed according to the perspectives of the SEBC model. The study showed that three out of the five organizations surveyed had implemented measurement systems, with a greater tendency of adoption in the third sector businesses. However, the evaluation of the metrics demonstrated a predominance of output measurements, a limited measurement of generic outcomes and the absence of business impact measurement, suggesting a potential misalignment between performance metrics and the organization's social mission. Another point observed was a strong association of the social mission to the figure of the entrepreneur, characterizing a more person-dependent and less process-dependent approach. Finally, the results of the study point out to the potential applicability of the Social Enterprise Balanced Scorecard as a measurement and management mechanism in the context of social businesses by providing a more balanced view of their performance.

Por meio de uma pesquisa empírica, utilizando a teoria fundamentada em dados, foi construída uma estrutura de análise para identificar as potencialidades e oportunidades de trinta e duas organizações do terceiro setor. Foi possível concluir que existe potencial de transformação dessas organizações em negócios de impacto devido ao seu compromisso com a missão socioambiental e com os públicos impactados e também dados os mecanismos de negócios que estão começando a ser adotados. Porém, o perfil das lideranças dessas micro e pequenas organizações não apresenta as características dos empreendedores tradicionais, o que traz desafios para uma transição. Este trabalho gera insights e subsídios para organizações que tem entre suas atividades práticas de responsabilidade ou inovação social e buscam nas parcerias com essas micro e pequenas organizações reduzir riscos e aproveitar oportunidades. / This study investigates the potential of third sectors micro and small organizations to become social business, understood here as one that is commitment to the socio-environmental mission and constantly seeks its financial sustainability. Through empirical research, using grounded theory, a framework was constructed to identify the potentialities and opportunities of thirty-two third sectors organizations. It was possible to conclude that there is potential for transformation of these organizations into social business given their commitment to the socioenvironmental mission and the impacted stakeholders and given the business mechanisms that are beginning to be adopted. However, the leader´s profile of these organizations does not show the characteristics of traditional enterprises, it represents a challenge for a transition. This work generates insights for organizations that act on social responsibility or social innovation and seek in partnerships to reduce risks and seize opportunities.

The recent literature suggests partnerships can help social enterprises to scale impact, to sustain profitability and to enter new markets, but the resulting interactions moved by distinctive goals can also push social enterprises to drift away from their mission. The thesis is structured as an explorative case study. The case of Progetto QUID, an emerging Italian social enterprise in the Fashion industry, offers practical insights towards the possible challenges and opportunities deriving from the engagement of different stakeholders, and how a team can manage them. All the data about Progetto QUID were personally collected with the help of Professor Tommaso Ramus in the period between 2017 and 2018. The case study is interesting for the types of partners QUID has, for-profit and non-profits, which stress the complexity of managing a hybrid organisation. The presence of these external actors derives from the appealing business model that combines three elements: the social mission through work inclusion, the environmental goal of recovering waste raw materials and the economic dimension, which supports the dual purpose and differentiate them of similar entities. The case touches on multiple aspects aiming to unify some theoretical and empirical knowledge as well as engaging students in this realm that is both growing and consolidating, but which needs further research. The case does not include interviews with the partners, which could provide supplementary knowledge and possible dissimilar viewpoints. In addition, the short time available limits the possible findings and recommendations. From this study, SE can understand how the business model and the team capabilities are strategic elements that allow managing the tensions. The examples of QUID offers new insights into the literature considering, for example, the ‘combination-separation’ of the commercial and social side. This seems the most viable solution in the scaling-up process to ensure the success of the social enterprise. This observation is particularly important because it is able to describe a possible solution for managing tensions in hybrid organisations. Moreover, it emerges how social enterprises should analyse systematically their collaborations to clearly understand how they create value internally and externally. The investigation can rely on a few questions. The research towards value creation, costs and benefits and the management of a partnership are just in the early stages. My thesis addresses the topic at a different level of analysis to enable a deeper comprehension of partnerships as multidimensional vehicles for economic and social effects across organizations. Moreover, students interested in this filed could have an additional opportunity to get in touch with these raising realities. / Obietivo - O objetivo é estudar o efeito que a parceria intersetorial tem sobre as estratégias das empresas sociais. A literatura recente sugere que as parcerias podem ajudar as mesmas a aumentar o seu impacto social, sustentar a lucratividade e entrar em novos mercados, mas as interações resultantes movidas por objetivos distintos também podem levar as empresas sociais a afastarem-se da sua missão. Metodologia – A tese é estrutura como um estudo de caso exploratório. O caso do Progetto QUID, uma empresa social italiana emergente na indústria da moda, oferece conhecimentos práticos para os possíveis desafíos e oportunidades decorrentes do compromisso de diferentes stakeholders e com o team podes os administrar. Os dados foram coletados pessoalmente com a ajuda do Professor Tommaso Ramus entre 2017 e 2018. Resultados - O estudo de caso é interessante para os tipos de parceiros que a QUID tem, com fins lucrativos e sem fins lucrativos, que enfatizam ainda mais a complexidade de gerenciar uma organização híbrida. A presença desses atores deriva do atraente modelo empresarial que combina três elementos: a missão social por meio da inclusão no trabalho, o objetivo ambiental de recuperar tecidos e a dimensão econômica, que apóia as duplas missões e as diferencia de entidades similares.O caso aborda múltiplos aspectos com o objetivo de unificar alguns conhecimentos teóricos e empíricos, bem como engajar os alunos nessa área que está crescendo e se consolidando, mas que precisa de mais pesquisas. Limitações - O caso não inclui entrevistas com os parceiros, o que poderia fornecer conhecimento suplementar e possíveis pontos de vista diferentes. Além disso, o pouco tempo disponível limita as possíveis descobertas e recomendações. Contribuições práticas - A partir deste estudo, o SE pode entender como o modelo de negócios e as capacidades da equipe são elementos estratégicos que permitem gerenciar as tensões. Os exemplos de QUID oferecem novos insights para a literatura, considerando, por exemplo, a "combinação-separação" do lado comercial e social. Essa parece ser a solução mais viável no processo de ampliação para garantir o sucesso da empresa social. Essa observação é particularmente importante porque é capaz de descrever uma possível solução para o gerenciamento de tensões em organizações híbridas. Além disso, surge como as empresas sociais devem analisar sistematicamente suas colaborações para entender claramente como elas criam valor internamente e externamente. A investigação pode contar em algumas perguntas. Contribuções para a sociedade & originalidade- A pesquisa para a criação de valor, custos e benefícios e a gestão de uma parceria estão apenas nos estágios iniciais. Minha tese aborda o tópico em um nível diferente de análise para permitir uma compreensão mais profunda das parcerias como veículos multidimensionais para efeitos econômicos e sociais em todas as organizações.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Ana Lucia Castilho da Mota.pdf: 1454205 bytes, checksum: 1f2d6106f8f4e324e8455704db806587 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-02-26 / The third sector organizations (TSO) play an important social role in Brazil. With regard to educational and participation sports, partnerships with governments have been an important way to enable the democratization of their practice and to contribute to the human development of children and young people, especially those who are socially vulnerable, as guaranteed by law. Within this framework, the present study aimed at identifying the factors that influence the survival of TSO that work with educational and participation sports. The specific objectives aimed at identifying the TSO that work with educational and participation sports in the Greater São Paulo; analyzing how the facilitating factors and the critical factors influence the survival of these organizations; and devising a scheme that summarizes the influence of the main facilitating factors in the survival of these organizations. In order to do that, an exploratory and descriptive research was done, using the qualitative method, based on the phenomenological perspective. The chosen instrument for data collection was the interview supported by a semi-structured script, previously reviewed by two experts. We interviewed four founders and seven managers and / or coordinators, adding up to eleven interviews. The seven participating organizations of the research are affiliated with REMS (Sports Network for Social Change, in Portuguese). The data were analyzed using response categories according to Flores (1994), with the support of the software Atlas TI in the categorization of the results. The results were organized into four categories and these were split. The research concluded that among the main critical factors for the survival of the TSO are the heavy reliance on incentive funds, the lack of institutional financing; limited availability of funds for the communications, marketing and fundraising departments, the financing model under construction in Brazil, the legislation that needs to be realigned to the surrounding reality and the difficulty of measuring social outcomes. In relation to facilitating factors, the prevailing ones were the ability of articulation, institutional and sector dialogue with the government and the various segments of society, being part of networks, credibility and legitimacy of the organization, development of projects that have relevance and social impact, human resources identified with a social cause, the influence of the sector on the creation of public policies, the validation of the methodology, and the importance of the social entrepreneur. / As organizações empreendedoras do terceiro setor (OETS) desempenham um importante papel social no Brasil. No que diz respeito ao esporte educacional e de participação, as parcerias com os governos têm se mostrado um importante caminho para possibilitar a democratização da sua prática e contribuir para o desenvolvimento humano de crianças e jovens, sobretudo, os que vivem em situação de vulnerabilidade social, conforme garantidos por lei. Frente a este cenário, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar quais são os fatores que influenciam na sobrevivência de OETS que atuam com o esporte educacional e de participação. Os objetivos específicos visaram identificar OETS que atuam com o esporte educacional e de participação na Grande São Paulo; analisar como os fatores facilitadores e os fatores críticos influenciam na sobrevivência dessas OETS; e elaborar um esquema que sintetize a influência dos principais fatores facilitadores na sobrevivência dessas OETS. Para tanto, foi feita uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória e descritiva, cujo método foi o qualitativo, embasada na perspectiva fenomenológica. O instrumento eleito para a coleta de dados foi a entrevista apoiada em um roteiro semiestruturado, previamente revisado por dois especialistas. Foram entrevistados quatro fundadores e sete gestores e/ou coordenadores, perfazendo um total de 11 entrevistas. As sete organizações participantes da pesquisa são filiadas à REMS (Rede Esporte pela Mudança Social). Os dados foram tratados utilizando categorias de respostas de acordo com Flores (1994), contando com o apoio na categorização dos resultados do software Atlas TI. Os resultados foram organizados em quatro categorias e estas foram desmembradas. A pesquisa concluiu que, entre os principais fatores críticos para a sobrevivência das OETS estão a grande dependência de recursos incentivados, a insuficiência de financiamentos institucionais; pouca disponibilidade de verbas para os departamentos de comunicação, marketing e de captação de recursos, o modelo de financiamento ainda em construção no Brasil, a legislação que necessita de ser realinhada à realidade circundante e a dificuldade de mensurar resultados sociais. Em relação aos fatores facilitadores, os preponderantes foram a capacidade de articulação e de interlocução institucional e setorial com o poder público e com os diversos segmentos da sociedade, fazer parte de redes, a credibilidade e legitimidade da organização, o desenvolvimento de projetos que tenham relevância e impacto social, recursos humanos identificados com a causa social, a influência do setor na constituição de políticas públicas, a validação da metodologia, além da importância do empreendedor social.
