Abstract

This paper proposes a system of indicators that can help guide the social objective of cooperative social enterprises and to make its contribution to its transformative dimension. First, the focus is put on the motivations and forces that could underlie, contributing to the research of the «behavioral theory» in social entrepreneurship. Second, concrete elements of transformation are incorporated into the theory of Social Entrepreneurship and Transformative Social Economy (TSE). The proposal was developed in collaboration with members of the Olatukoop cooperative network involved in the revitalization of the Koopfabrika program, which seeks to promote social economy and cooperative entrepreneurship. In order to bring the study closer to the methodological approach of Participatory Action Research, we collectively built the system of indicators, with proposal and validation dynamics. In this way a series of practical and theoretical implications are created on the paradigm of TSE to execute other realities of making economy.
