“…SE ecosystems correspond to the community of actors that interact and depend on each other to meet their objectives and generate synergies and circles of interrelation, interdependence, and complementarity [32]; taking creativity and innovation as references, these tools guarantee the pragmatism of their operations, given their flexibility and adaptability [33]. They can vary depending on culture, expectations, and institutional pressures [34], given their composition of at least six elements [35]: accessibility to various markets; the talent of human capital and the labor force; diversity in sources of financing; the existence of support mechanisms; cultural support; and a governmental and regulatory framework, which helps to boost SE from financial, innovative, and training aspects [36].…”

In the context of the city of Medellín (Colombia), which has been declared a National Science, Technology, and Innovation District, Knowledge Management Practices (KMPs) have been gaining importance because they improve the commercial entrepreneurial ecosystem by articulating tacit and explicit knowledge. The study investigates the role of KMPs in Social Entrepreneurship (SE), and how this relationship generates products and services that meet social needs, with articulation between tacit and explicit knowledge, which start from the experiences of entrepreneurs and join shared interests in ecosystems and public policies of social entrepreneurship. This study employs a non-experimental design based on a survey and a deep interview for 40 SE initiatives; we then developed a Pearson’s bivariate correlation review and a narrative design. The results reveal that SE initiatives aimed at novel market niches and management strategies that articulate multiple sectors and social actors that aim for a practical scope of the purposes of entrepreneurship concerning the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. The findings of this study suggest that KMPs in SE create a series of perspectives that seek to achieve greater competitiveness and sustainability in front of the market, all from innovative proposals of social value articulated with environmental care.

“…For its part, the international organization Ashoka was one of the pioneering institutions working on training processes related to social entrepreneurship in universities [26]. In this way, the integration of social entrepreneurship into curricula fosters complex thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for developing effective solutions that have a positive impact on society [27]. Thus, training in social entrepreneurship in higher education is no stranger to this, where the link with different sectors is strategic for developing professionals and creating sustainable options for citizens [28,29].…”

The Open Education movement has tremendous transformative potential in developing countries and marginalized communities. The implementation of the OpenEdR4C platform, a digital educational resource for entrepreneurship education, was an example of this potential. As an open resource for scaling up complex thinking competencies in higher education students and lifelong learners, the platform has been presented to various institutions and organizations in Mexico and Bolivia. The objective of this article is to show the impact of the digital course on social entrepreneurship on the development of complex thinking skills of the workshop participants. The study was conducted using mixed methods, evaluating the perception of the performance levels of the participants and analyzing their opinions on the benefits brought by the platform. The results showed that (a) the level of performance in complex thinking competence improved after the formative experience, (b) the platform can be a convenient resource for training higher education students and lifelong learners, and (c) social entrepreneurship is a valuable topic to be trained with open educational resources. This study is a contribution to the transformative efforts made by developers of digital open educational resources and educators to build different approaches of competence for work training and social entrepreneurship skills development.

“…Other variables considered in this type of entrepreneurship are preferences for flexible hours, individual autonomy, migratory status, sex, marital status, etc. [23,24]. It is understood that it is the individual and motivational characteristics that determine whether the individual undertakes or not; these characteristics can be objective and/or subjective, ranging from tangible (money, assets, inheritances, etc.)…”

Latin America has suffered for many years deep economic, political, and social problems that have led to high levels of unemployment. Therefore, microentrepreneurship has been a way out of these precarious economic systems. This research presents an interpretative hermeneutic analysis of the meaning of work for microentrepreneurs in the metropolitan region of Lima, Peru. The qualitative naturalistic methodology was used and data were obtained through 24 interviews with microentrepreneurs according to inclusion criteria such as: located in the metropolitan region of Lima (divided into 4 regions: A, B, C, and D), more than 5 years of experience, more than 25 years of age, university level of study and having had a formal job. The data were processed through ATLAS.ti9, which allowed us to analyze the discourses of the microentrepreneurs. The main findings show the following emerging categories: Motivation for entrepreneurship, Advantages of self-employment, relationship with stakeholders or interest groups, and family involvement in the business. It is concluded that Latin American microentrepreneurs associate entrepreneurship as an opportunity to improve their quality of life and establish relationships with stakeholders, with the family playing a key role in the success or failure of the business.
