This article analyses the theoretical aspects underlying the central rôle of managers in Social Economy enterprises, the nature of these strategic human resources, particularly the variables that influence their behaviour, and their ability to shape paths or strategies that strengthen or undermine the Social Economy identity of these enterprises. Finally, taking a prescriptive approach, it examines the advantages and limitations of different options for management selection and control.

Launched in July 2013, the ICSEM Project (www.iap-socent.be/icsem-project) is the result of a partnership between an Interuniversity Attraction Pole on Social Enterprise (IAP-SOCENT) funded by the Belgian Science Policy and the EMES International Research Network. It gathers around 200 researchers-ICSEM Research Partners-from some 50 countries across the world to document and analyze the diversity of social enterprise models and their ecosystems. As interm ediary products, ICSEM Working Papers provide a vehicle for a first dissemination of the Project's results to stimulate scholarly discussion and inform policy debates. A list of these papers is provided at the end of this document.

First, we describe the promotion lines for cooperatives and labor companies within the framework of active employment policies. Then we analyze the evolution of resources for these lines from the state level and from the regional level, with reference to an autonomous region that is considered representative, Comunidad Valenciana. We distinguish three sources of funding for this policy; European, state and regional and we compare the evolution of expen90 Rafael Chaves Ávila, Teresa Savall Morera y José Luis Monzón Campos diture with other policies, such as active employment policies, subsidy line for the third sector through the IRPF percentage and other expenditure items. Within the context of policy of budgetary adjustment and growth of the unemployment problem, it is found that there has been a significant red...

This paper focuses on recurrent, but needing clarification, topics such as the question of definitions, the national recognition of the concept of Social Economy and the size of this European third sector. It begins with a proposition of a conceptual delimitation of the Social Economy and of the different classes of company and organization that belong to it. Second, it identifies the different agents which, irrespective of their legal form, are part of the Social Economy in each of the member states of the European Union and to compare the different national definitions that are related to the Social Economy concept. Finally, it provides quantitative data on the European Social Economy. * This work is largely based on a study which the European Economic and Social Committee commissioned in order to take stock of the Social Economy in the 25 member states of the European Union. The authors are very grateful to a number of persons and institutions, but especially to D. Demoustier, L. Frobel and R. Spear, members of the expert committee of the study. Thanks to Mrs Georgina Harding for her translation into English. * * Résumé en fin d'article; Zusammenfassung am Ende des Artikels; resumen al final del artículo.

It examines the SE concept, compares it with the nonprofit sector and analyzes its microeconomic foundations, functions in the economic system and implications for economic policy. The field of economic analysis needs to be broadened, abandoning the mainstream monism that emphasizes the study of capitalist private enterprises and taking a plural view of the economy. In this approach, other forms of business organization, particularly SE enterprises, become a priority for analysis, opening up new scientific, social and economic vistas.
