Towards negotiation: A RAMESES narrative review of social enterprise to support sustainability in Sport for Social Change (S4SC)

Abstract

This article engages in a systematic narrative review, executed according to RAMESES (Realist and Meta-Narrative Evidence Synthesis) standards, to unpack the literature on social enterprise. The case of Sport for Social Change and Development (S4SC) is presented as a global field of organizations facing early engagement with the concept of social enterprise as an innovative solution to increasing pressure in the NGO landscape.Yet, social enterprise is a complex term, which requires a solid theoretical approach before gaining currency as an operational term in the S4SC field. As researchers, we need to first and foremost consider how our research in this area supports organizations. Due to this, the way we theorize a concept before operationalizing the concept needs to appreciate the lived reality of these organizations and the efficiencies they aim to gain to benefit their social mission. The RAMESES narrative review is engaged to consider the different angles of thought regarding social enterprise. Findings articulate three prominent methods to conceptualize social enterprise and query how these methods can be used to support the development and growth of the social enterprise model in the S4SC field. Concluding remarks suggest that research on social enterprise in S4SC needs to better

Estructura intelectual de la investigación sobre greenwashing: análisis bibliométrico y narrativo

“…Si bien las revisiones sistemáticas siguen un enfoque estructurado (Boell & Cecez-Kecmanovic, 2010;Ferrari, 2015), las narrativas de la literatura obedecen a un estilo más libre, iterativo, no estructurado y multicapas con resultados acumulativos, que comprende debates generales, valoración de estudios previos, vacíos en el estado del arte de una disciplina, futuros caminos para la investigación y plantear alternativas sobre tipos de intervenciones disponibles de una problemática (Ferrari, 2015;Juntunen & Lehenkari, 2021). A manera de ejemplo, varios son los estudios administrativos basados en narrativa de literatura que abordan temáticas como el consumo verde (ElHaffar et al, 2020), el desempeño corporativo (Veen et al, 2021), la empleabilidad (Cook, 2022), la gerencia de recursos humanos (Mukherji & Bhatnagar, 2022), la innovación (Hakala et al, 2020), el turismo (Teoh et al, 2021), el liderazgo (Yada & Jäppinen, 2019), la rendición de cuentas (Ainol-Basirah & Siti-Nabiha, 2022), la sostenibilidad (Richmond et al, 2022) y el sector público (Campbell et al, 2022), entre otros.…”

El modelo de empresa social y las entidades sin fines lucrativos: un análisis bibliométrico

“…Ante esta falta de consenso, cabe preguntar si entre las ESFL se adopta el modelo de empresa social y, en tal caso, cuál es el enfoque con el que lo hacen. La literatura previa no ha identificado hasta la fecha un modelo universal de comportamiento de empresa social aplicable a las ESFL, argumentando que los factores institucionales y contextuales afectan en su delimitación (Kerlin, 2013;Roy et al, 2014;Fitzgerald & Shepherd, 2018;Fitzgerald et al, 2019;Richmond et al 2022). Esta circunstancia entorpece al profesional en el ejercicio de sus análisis y resoluciones, en especial en el sector no lucrativo.…”
