Dear Javier,

If you are looking for social entrepreneurship, first you have to define and understand the concept. However if this is a research or clarification question, yes, definitely you have to think about the capital . Remember the capital is not necessarily financing as it include many aspects including social capital as well

very well, the subject is too large to define in a few words, i make a journal to show in the conferen in Ecuuador about "Factores que inciden en el empredimiento de los chicos de la Casa Don Bosco Guayaquil 2016", in this job, the first factor were Gender.

Hi Javier,

in our research the factors were related to community networks and cultural Heritage.

Thank you very much for your information, i am going to check that paper

i read the abstract, and it is very interesting your paper, more late i continuous reading whole version,

thanks again

I might be somewhat off the point but here are two contributions...

When I was Director of a non-government think-tank, it was certainly very challenging to find money to fund research or policy analysis. In fact, some people found it hard to believe anyone might be paid to "think" in a think-tank as a job. If I understand your question, it is necessary to have capital/secure finances for a social enterprise to engage in analysis/"thinking".

On the second point, about success factors, John Adair has written a number of books about strategic leadership. One of the keys to success for any leader, despite all of the pressures of day-to-day work, is to make time for thinking, especially at the outset. Practically everything can be delegated, but not this. There is therefore a leadership challenge in any social enterprise to prioritise time for thinking when there can be many other demands on the time of a small team, not least fundraising.

Thanks for your cointribution, i think that the factors what can to involve the success in to the entrepreneurship is more for the motivation even the gender, the women are more dedicate in the enterprise.

In our research on social enterprises in Southern Italy, we have found that women are the most involved in activities dedicated to social servicies for families and similar .
