Empreendedorismo: empreendedorismo social e o impacto transformador na sociedade brasileira

Abstract

This article presents a broad perspective of the field of social entrepreneurship in Brazil, highlighting the challenges to be faced in expanding the field of social entrepreneurship in Brazil, and the skills of social entrepreneurship. To prepare this study, a bibliographical research was carried out, of an exploratory nature, based on definitions, characteristics and challenges of social entrepreneurship. Based on the data, a consultation was carried out in scientific articles, magazines, dissertations and theses related to the topic and which presented different theoretical perspectives. The main objective of this research was to understand how social entrepreneurship works, its characteristics and the impacts of its actions on society. This search took place on the platforms: Google Scholar, Sciello Library, Spell and Google. The use of qualitative research is justified by the need to understand about and how social entrepreneurship is being worked on in Brazil. Thus, in addition to content analyses, this research also sought a theoretical basis in works by Schumpeter (1997), as it is an important reference in the study of entrepreneurship. From this study, it was understood that it is possible to contribute to changing the reality of people who live in a state of vulnerability and the communities in which they are inserted, whether as a consumer citizen, investor or supporting entrepreneurial actions and sustainable development. It is also clear that social entrepreneurship has stood out in Brazil and around the world, precisely because it is contributing to improving the quality of life and well-being of the population, despite the numerous challenges that exist in this transformative action
