Resumen

El concepto de ecosistema se ha utilizado para describir un conjunto dinámico de relaciones, servicios e interdependencias que potencian la creación, la renovación y el crecimiento de las organizaciones. La innovación social se ve influida en gran medida por las condiciones del ecosistema. El ecosistema portugués de innovación social es un caso de estudio particularmente interesante, ya que asume una estructura híbrida que expresa una variedad de esquemas políticos, redes y estructuras de apoyo. Este artículo debate el concepto de ecosistema de innovación social y presenta un enfoque exploratorio para su mapeo. A partir de entrevistas con actores estratégicos de la economía social y solidaria y con empresas sociales, el estudio profundiza en las especificidades del ecosistema de innovación social.

Palabras clave: innovación social; ecosistemas; complejidad; economía social; empresas sociales.
