Abstract
Los emprendimientos de economía social y solidaria constituidos predominantemente como cooperativas y asociaciones mantienen una tendencia creciente en Ecuador, demostrando ser una importante alternativa para una población excluida del mercado laboral formal, no obstante estas iniciativas también presentan bajos niveles de sostenibilidad debido principalmente a una débil capacidad de gestión afectada por los escasos conocimientos y carencia de herramientas de gestión que permitan impulsar su permanencia y consolidación organizacional. La importancia del desarrollo de este tipo de emprendimientos ha forjado importantes investigaciones respecto a factores de éxito, dejando un vacío del conocimiento en su aplicación práctica, para abordar esta limitación la presente investigación tiene como objetivo definir indicadores de gestión para emprendimientos sociales y solidarios bajo una metodología de gestión que permita integrar factores de éxito. La investigación se desarrolla mediante una revisión documental sistémica y la aplicación del método Delphi para consolidar criterios de 20 directivos de asociaciones y cooperativas en proceso de consolidación del emprendimiento. Los resultados presentan la importancia de fundamentar la gestión del emprendimiento social y solidario bajo una perspectiva social, donde los indicadores de trabajo colectivo, integración laboral, relaciones institucionales y protección del medio ambiente permitan consolidar un capital social que impulse una actividad económica sostenible
Social and solidarity economy enterprises constituted predominantly as cooperatives and associations have a growing trend in Ecuador, proving to be an important alternative for a population excluded from the formal labor market. However, these initiatives also show low levels of sustainability, mainly due to weak management capacity affected by scarce knowledge and lack of management tools to promote their permanence and organizational consolidation. The importance of the development of this type of entrepreneurship has forged important research on success factors, leaving a knowledge gap in its practical application. To address this limitation, the present research aims to define management indicators for social and solidarity-based entrepreneurship under a management methodology that allows the integration of success factors. The research is developed through a systemic documentary review and the application of the Delphi method to consolidate the criteria of 20 managers of associations and cooperatives in the process of consolidation of the enterprise. The results show the importance of basing the management of social and solidarity entrepreneurship under a social perspective, where the indicators of collective work, labor integration, institutional relations and environmental protection allow the consolidation of a social capital that promotes a sustainable economic activity
