description

Part III describes the methodology used to converge the micro and macro approach. The methodology chosen has been the case study. The first part of this chapter justifies the election of the methodology. The second part is the explanation of the case study. Through diverse sources of archival data as well as scientific papers and an interview with her founder (Dr. Mateo), the chapter addresses the issue of social entrepreneurship’s role as a problem solver showing the case of a social entrepreneur and the technology developed to change the context. The methodology is presented as a time series that the entrepreneur follows until she finds a way to add value to society. The critical moment arises when the entrepreneur has to decide between the appropriation or the creation of this value, that is, in the moment of the opportunity exploitation.
