Resumo: | This work was carried out with the purpose of identifying how a social technological start-up develops and sustains its activity. To this end, it was necessary to identify an appropriate entrepreneurship methodology for the social sector, focusing on its verification initiatives to understand its applicability. This theme stems from a reality studied in the literature in which in today society, there is a variety of social initiatives being executed. However, the common scenario shows a lack of an efficient and effective approach for a social start-up to achieve its mission. After the literature review on the current state of social innovation, its concepts and identification of different applicable development methodologies, a social technology start-up was then selected to carry out a case study (Yin, 2018) to analyse its development path, confronting it with the "Six Stages of Social Innovation" model in each of its stages. The study culminated with the understanding that the company in question, regardless of its technological nature, did not support its development in any methodology, failing the validation of its concept and the development of a business model appropriate to its social nature, culminating with its extinction due to lack of financial sustainability. The study, among other conclusions, draws attention to the need to introduce a culture of error valuation and agile validation methodologies that guide the venture through the various stages. |

Para este fim, foi necessário identificar uma metodologia de empreendedorismo apropriada para o setor social, com foco nas iniciativas verificação da mesma de modo a compreender a sua aplicabilidade. Esta temática deriva de uma realidade estudada na literatura em que na sociedade atual, há uma variedade de iniciativas sociais a serem executadas. Contudo, o cenário comum mostra uma falta de uma abordagem eficiente e eficaz para uma start-up alcançar a sua missão. Após a revisão literária sobre o estado atual da inovação social, os seus conceitos e identificação de diferentes metodologias de desenvolvimento aplicáveis, foi então selecionada uma start-up tecnológica social para a realização de um estudo caso (Yin, 2018) de análise do seu percurso de desenvolvimento, confrontando-o com o modelo dos “Seis Estágios de Inovação Social” em cada um dos seus estágios. O estudo culminou com a compreensão de que a empresa em causa, independentemente da sua natureza tecnológica, não suportou o seu desenvolvimento em nenhuma metodologia, havendo falhas relativamente à validação do seu conceito e desenvolvimento de um modelo de negócio adequado à sua natureza social, culminando com a sua extinção por falta de sustentabilidade financeira. O estudo, entre outras conclusões, chama a atenção para a necessidade de introdução de uma cultura de valorização do erro e de metodologias de validação ágeis que guiem o empreendimento pelos vários estágios.Guimarães, Maria Cristina Geraldes Malheiro MachadoVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCoelho, César Martinho Rodrigues2023-03-03T01:30:28Z2021-12-202021-112021-12-20T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/36865TID:202894460enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:42:19Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/36865Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:29:58.475527Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
