Previous issue date: 2015-01-26 / The purpose of the dissertation is to investigate in depth the difference between the challenges social and business entrepreneurs face in the growth phase of their business in the particular environment of Brazil. This objective has been achieved through a two-steps methodology. The first step is a set of in-depth interviews carried out with industry experts such as professors, venture capitalists, consultants, fund managers or people involved in the support of growing startups (i.e. accelerators). These interviews allowed, first, to build a general perspective on the environment entrepreneurs operate into and to identify a list of challenges entrepreneurs face in the growth process of their business. This list was completed with the additional challenges identified in the previous literature. The second step of the methodology was to test the relevance of these challenges in the mind and experience of social and traditional entrepreneurs. A questionnaire was then submitted to 145 social and 286 traditional entrepreneurs. The results were statistically analyzed to test the relative relevance of these challenges for one group of entrepreneurs with respect to the other. The outcome of the analysis was significant. The most relevant challenges identified were, for both groups, taxation, bureaucracy, finding the right employees, creating effective teams, measuring firm performance and social value creation and obtaining funds. On the other side motivation, innovation, competition and lack of market space for growth represented the least relevant issues in the minds of entrepreneurs. This rank however did not differ significantly from social to traditional entrepreneurs. This testifies that in Brazil social and traditional entrepreneurs face the same set of challenges despite the widespread belief of the opposite. / O objetivo da dissertação é de investigar a fundo a diferencia entre os desafios que os empreendedores sociais e os empreendedores tradicionais enfrentam na fase de crescimento do business deles no Brasil. Este objetivo foi alcançado através de um método composto por dois passos. O primeiro passo é um conjunto de entrevistas em profundidade, realizadas com especialistas do setor, tais como professores, capitalistas de risco, consultores, gestores de fundos ou pessoas envolvidas no apoio do crescimento das startups (ou seja, aceleradoras). Estas entrevistas permitiram, em primeiro lugar, de construir uma perspectiva geral sobre o meio ambiente empresarial e de identificar uma lista de desafios que os empresários enfrentam no processo de crescimento de seus negócios. Esta lista foi completada com os desafios identificados na literatura anterior. A segunda etapa da metodologia foi testar a relevância destes desafios na mente e experiência de empreendedores sociais e tradicionais. Um questionário foi, então, submetido a 145 empreendedores sociais e 286 empresários tradicionais. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente para testar a importância relativa destes desafios para um grupo de empresários em relação à outra. O resultado da análise foi significativo. Os desafios mais relevantes identificados foram, para ambos os grupos, a tributação, a burocracia, encontrar os funcionários certos, criar equipes eficazes, medir o desempenho da empresa e a criação de valor social e obtenção de fundos. Por outro lado motivação, inovação, concorrência e falta de espaço de mercado para o crescimento representam as questões menos relevantes na mente dos empresários. Esta classificação, porém, não diferiu significativamente dos empreendedores sociais aos empresários tradicionais. Isso comprova que no Brasil os empreendedores sociais e tradicionais enfrentam o mesmo conjunto de desafios, apesar da crença generalizada do contrário.
