“…The first one is related to the concept of Favorable Environment to the Scalability of the SI since it addresses the manner a SI can gain scalability, in other words, how a SI can increase its social impact. This research gap has been proposed by Westley et al (2014) and Estensoro (2015) who found that the topic still needs new studies to clarify how an SI can expand and enhance deepen its impact on society. The second contribution concerns the capacity of the research to considerate internal elements, derived from the entrepreneur and the enterprise, scalability promoters of a SI with elements of the external environment, in addition to organizations bridging which are able to improve the relationship between these environments.…”

“…Such development, in addition to the commitment of the social entrepreneur and his team, required its own resources or was obtained via philanthropic (Maclean, Harvey, & Gordon, 2013) or through strategic partnerships (Le Ber & Branzei, 2010;Estensoro, 2015) that assist in the development of SI process. Besides financial resources, strategic partnerships can help with directions, exchange of experiences, knowledge sharing and even the occupation of "institutional voids" in fragile environments with poor infrastructure, poorly established rules, lack of governance and trust.…”

“…Within this line of research, there is the necessity of clarify how a SI can be facilitated, and this is a subject that has not been adequately addressed in the literature (Estensoro, 2015). This field of research on how the SI can be facilitated goes beyond the initial phases of the project and includes the scalability phase, whose focus is on expanding impact of SI beyond the local level.…”

Purpose:This paper aims to analyze how features raised in the case studies in the field of social innovation, from the meta-synthesis methodology proposed by Hoon (2013), indicate factors that promote social innovation scalability Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The number of publications on SI, despite an increase perceived, is still limited. Consequently, researches dedicated to understand the scalability of the process of SI are still scarce, thus constituting a gap research. Key methodological aspects: To achieve the objective of this research, we followed the eight meta-synthesis steps proposed by Hoon (2013) which is an exploratoryinductive research design for synthesis of primary data collected through case studies whose primary purpose is to build theory. It was analyzed 66 articles identified in the Web of Science database, nine of them were selected to join this meta-synthesis. Summary of key results:The findings of this research can be summarized in the concept proposed "environment favourable to the scalability of a SI" with features of the internal environment, divided between aspects of the entrepreneur and the organization, and settings of the external environment, mediated (or not) by a bridge organization. Key considerations/conclusions: The findings of this study advance the SI literature in two main points: Concept proposition of "environment conducive to the scalability of a SI" and to draw attention to the field of study on the promoting factors of continuity and growth of a SI. As for the practical contributions, the results of the research can help social innovations managers in the expansion phase of its operations, suggesting some elements to consider.

“…Sharing an agenda of empowerment and emancipation among underprivileged stakeholders through joint development of new approaches and solutions to societal timreview.ca Malin Lindberg, Daniel Hallencreutz, and Anna Tengqvist challenges, social innovation is considered relevant for action research and participatory action research by an increasing number of scholars (e.g., Andersen & Bilfeldt, 2017;Estensoro, 2015;Gustavsen, 2012;Mazigo, 2017;Yang & Sung, 2016). Methods for practicing participatory action research include, for example, empowering dialogues, dialogue seminars/conferences, future creating workshops, and research circles (Aagaard Nielsen & Svensson, 2006;Gunnarsson et al, 2015;Reason & Bradbury, 2008).…”

The ability to create alternatives to social problems in a sustainable way can be understood as social innovation. Social innovation is a way of equalizing social problems, being considered an option for market, state and society failures. Thus, social innovation presents itself as a possible and necessary alternative for solving the problems related to Sustainable Development, especially education. This study seeks, from the perspective of the Innovation Capability, to identify the Capability for social innovation in Associations, Businesses Foundations and Social Businesses that work in the area of Education in the Southeast of Brazil. In this research, the Social Innovation Capability is composed of five factors, namely: Facilitating Leadership; Strategic Intention to Innovate Socially; Democratic Management; Co-creation of Social Innovation and Open Social Innovation. The research methodology is qualitative descriptive. For the data collection, an online questionnaire was sent to a selection of organizations belonging to all three types of organizations studied (Associations, Businesses Foundations and Social Businesses) that work in the area of Education in the Southeast of Brazil. As results, the responses of eight organizations, each with three respondents, were analyzed. The organizations were identified as being three Associations, two Businesses Foundations and three Social Businesses. The results were analyzed in light of the social innovation literature. The results indicate that in the Associations, Businesses Foundations and in Social Businesses, the determinants factors of the Capability for social innovation Democratic Management and Open Social Innovation are highlighted. Among the results it is worth noting that the Co-creation factor of Social Innovation is not representative for the organizations studied.
