GORANTZ ALA SAKONERANTZ HAZI? Ekonomia Sozial Solidario eta Eraldatzaileko enpresen eskalatze estrategien analisia ikuspegi komunitariotik

Resumen

Abstract: this article analyses the scaling strategies of Solidarity and Transformative Social Economy (STSE) organisations in the Southern Basque Country, interpreting their growth incentives and strategies from a community perspective. In addition, the analysis of the scaling strategies of these organisations incorporates the variable of belonging to the different STSE networks, establishing intentional connections between the scaling and networking strategies. Among the main results, four scaling logics have been proposed organised according to the ‘target communities’ they address. In this way, to the classic classification of mutual and general interest organizations established from the academic literature, a third interest has been added: community interest. Finally, the study attempts to place the scaling logics detected in STSE organisations in the “sufficiency” paradigm, highlighting the referentiality of these projects in the search for experiences of limited profit and economic sufficiency that are compatible with our biophysical limits.
