La incidencia de la participación en el sostenimiento de emprendimientos asociativos

Abstract

This work shows the importance of the participation in the development of associative enterprises arising in Cuenca city, as an alternative to the capitalist model that converges in a neo-liberal market where competition is crucial for progress. Since the construction of a theorical framework is criticism that perspective that has brought sequels in the constitution of the socio-economic system, which relegates basic principles of solidarity and cooperation, values essential for the strengthening of the societies. Conversational techniques trying to understand the conceptual dimension is played by the same members and leaders belonging to such associations, the results show the opinions, perceptions, feelings, motivations, attitudes, experiences and visions that have on the activity carried out; These associations have built other ways to carry out their projects, from a socio-economy of solidarity that emphasizes self-management as the product of leadership, the sense of ownership and empowerment, transcendental aspects of the participation for the support of these initiatives, which are essentially opposed to the dominant idea of financial and economic utility. The policy from the Ecuadorian State on popular and solidary economy is contradictory, and recommended that those emerging forms of associative entrepreneurship are recognized and supported as an activity that responds to a different sector of the economics official, since it is essential for the sustainability of such initiatives, which generate a valuable contribution in the social divides.
