| contents | INNOVATING FOR SOCIAL DEMANDS – A DOUBLE CASE STUDY IN EFFECTIVE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES FROM THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARID Bruno de Souza Lessa Ana Clara Aparecida Alves de Souza Roberto Cunha Ferreira Ítalo Cavalcante Aguiar Administración y Contabilidad NGOs Ceará Brazil Innovation Social Enterprises This study aimed to answer what is the role of innovation for effectiveness in two social enterprises (SEs) based in the Brazilian semiarid. The operational definitions used in this research considered as main constructs SEs and effectiveness. Social enterprises were defined as for-profit initiatives started by non-profit organizations, as proposed Lasprogatta and Cotten (2003). Effectiveness, in its turn, was regarded as financial independence and fulfilment of a social mission as accorded by Diochon and Anderson (2009). Utilizing a qualitative approach, data collection was based on semistructed interviews and aggregated other materials such as videos, magazines and newspapers articles that were analysed with the assistance of the Nvivo® 10 software. The results demonstrated that innovation emerged from the need to respond to pressures coming from the environment and external stakeholders as well as the necessity to react to internal organizational demands. Rising challenges were framed as opportunities and innovative practices, services and products were created to tackle constraints of financial and human resources. In this regard, the established solutions were later formalized and became integral parts of the organizations although these solutions were not galvanized, leaving space for flexibility and rapid adaption. Moreover, these SEs have fostered intersectoral networks with both the government and private companies to scale up their innovations and enhance the social work that has been carried out. 2017 artículo científico 1807-5436 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=514252952001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5142/514252952001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5142/514252952001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5142/514252952001/514252952001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5142/514252952001/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5142 GESTÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO application/pdf Universidade Feevale GESTÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.14 |
