Resumo: | Philosopher Martha Nussbaum argues that society has a responsibility to provide the means to ensure people’s natural abilities can thrive, and therefore ensure that life can be lived sustainably and with dignity (Nussbaum, 2011). In this dissertation I examine how entrepreneurship can be a driver of creation of those means and conditions, as well as the importance of that matter for sustainable development. Addressing concepts that I consider crucial to the discussion, such as social entrepreneurship, circular and solidarity economy, the role of the private sector and corporate social responsibility, without forgetting the multicultural world in which we live and how intercultural competencies are, nowadays, mandatory to ensure the success of both personal and corporate relations. I then use the Darwin Camp project to demonstrate how all the presented hypothesis turn out in the real world. From literary research to my personal experience as a 6-month intern in one of the companies at the Camp, and the surveys and interviews I conducted there, I was able to conclude that a social oriented business, that cares for the community and the environment, will help establish the bridge between profit and people and perhaps be the great tool to find the solutions to the social and environmental problems we face these days. In general terms, entrepreneurship must be linked with a balance between creativeness, profit-making and problem-solving character, both for ensuring companies’ competitive advantages and a livable and dignified world for future generations. |

Nesta dissertação examino como o empreendedorismo pode ser um motor da criação desses meios e condições, bem como a importância desse assunto para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Abordando conceitos que considero cruciais para a discussão, tais como empreendedorismo social, economia circular e solidária, o papel do sector privado e a responsabilidade social das empresas, sem esquecer o mundo multicultural em que vivemos e como as competências interculturais são, hoje em dia, obrigatórias para assegurar o sucesso das relações tanto pessoais como empresariais. Utilizo então o projeto Darwin Camp para demonstrar como é que todas as hipóteses apresentadas se concretizam no mundo real. Da investigação literária à minha experiência pessoal como estagiária de 6 meses numa das empresas do Camp, e os inquéritos e entrevistas que aí realizei, pude concluir que uma empresa orientada para o social, que cuida da comunidade e do ambiente, ajudará a estabelecer a ponte entre o lucro e as pessoas e talvez seja a grande ferramenta para encontrar as soluções para os problemas sociais e ambientais que enfrentamos nos dias de hoje. Em termos gerais, o empreendedorismo deve estar ligado a um equilíbrio entre criatividade, rentabilidade e um carácter de resolução de problemas, tanto para garantir as vantagens competitivas das empresas como um mundo habitável e digno para as gerações futuras.Lamas, Marco Aurélio RibeiroRepositório Científico do Instituto Politécnico do PortoTorres, Isabel da Conceição Pontes2022-02-14T08:39:04Z2021-07-282021-07-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdftext/plain; charset=utf-8http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/19950TID:202939324enginfo: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:RCAAP2023-03-13T13:14:50Zoai:recipp.ipp.pt:10400.22/19950Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:40:01.122552Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
