For a Better Tomorrow: Social Enterprises on the Move

The project “For a Better Tomorrow: Social Enterprises on the Move” (FAB-MOVE) was funded by the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE). It brought together researchers and practitioners in order to explore the question of how social enterprises, roughly defined as "organisations seeking business solutions to social problems" (Thompson / Doherty 2006) can grow and flourish. Our central aim was to identify crucial success factors for a sustainable development of these new and innovative organisations in an internationally comparative perspective. FAB-MOVE results aim to contribute to a thriving landscape of social enterprises and innovative societies in the EU and all other participating countries. These objectives have been achieved through a carefully crafted network of 28 academic and non-academic partner organizations co-operating worldwide. At the heart of the project was the idea to promote international and inter-sector collaboration through research and innovation staff exchanges, and sharing of knowledge and ideas from research to market. International and intersectoral secondments (1-12 months) of staff members between our Partner organizations built the foundation for comparative research on social enterprises, their environments, innovations and challenges in different contexts. With its international and intersectoral Consortium FAB-MOVE was able to significantly improve the transfer of knowledge between academics and nonacademics and thus increase the practical applicability of research findings. For an enduring sustainable impact, the central results of FAB-MOVE have been published in the form of a Teaching Tool to educate (future) managers of social enterprises on how to set up their enterprise in a specific environment, how to combine business with a social goal, and how to develop strategies for growth and scaling-up. With the Teaching Tool, we hope to enhance the innovativeness, success and scalability of social enterprises across Europe and around the world. The teaching tool builds on the comprehensive understanding of the embeddedness of social enterprises and of factors for their success acquired throughout the project. Researchers and practitioners jointly developed the Tool in the form of a website with three main sections: 1) Read & Learn; presenting revised and edited versions of all FAB-MOVE country reports, comparative reports, and case studies. 2) Questionnaire for future social entrepreneurs; a tool helping them to test and visualize their ideas (mission, business plan, team, social impact etc.). 3) FAB-MOVE insights for (future) social entrepreneurs: The FAB-MOVE Consortium presents itself with the help of single interview videos in which researchers and practitioners share their experiences.

Цел на проекта

The project “For a Better Tomorrow: Social Enterprises on the Move (FAB-MOVE)” brings together researchers and practitioners in order to explore the question of how social enterprises can grow and flourish. These objectives will be achieved through a carefully crafted network of academic and non-academic partner organisations co-operating worldwide.Managers and practitioners of social enterprises often lack an easy access to the frontiers of science. FAB-MOVE will significantly improve the transfer of knowledge between academics and non-academics and thus increase the practical applicability of research findings. For an enduring sustainable impact, FAB-MOVE develops a teaching tool to educate (future) managers of social enterprises on how to set up their enterprise in a specific environment, how to combine business with a social goal, and how to develop strategies for growth and scaling-up. Currently there is a lack of knowledge about the influence of different social and economic environments on social enterprises. Local eco-systems and traditions have a decisive impact on the wellbeing, growth and potentials for scaling-up of social enterprises. FAB-MOVE focuses on the embeddedness of social enterprises and its impact on their evolution. It identifies crucial success factors for a sustainable development of these new and innovative organisations in an internationally comparative perspective.Thoroughly analysed case studies will serve as best practices by highlighting how social enterprises overcome crucial problems and manage to grow in different social areas and various regions around the world. In particular, the cases will shed light on how managers of social enterprises cooperate with stakeholders and how their environment composed of promoting actors and existing (political) structures meet their needs in order to improve social cohesion all over Europe.
