This paper aims to integrate research on KM with the effectuation approach. This paper will add to the understanding of effectuation as a KM tool in the context of social entrepreneurial networks. Although researchers agree that the lack of resources is a structural point for the context of social entrepreneurship and that knowledge is crucial in social entrepreneurship, only few studies deal with trying to understand how resources and knowledge are obtained, transformed and managed. An effectual approach seems to be particularly appropriate to work on this subject.,A literature review leads to a theoretical model that is tested in a single-case study of a French entrepreneurial project.,The empirical study not only shows the legitimacy of using an effectual approach but also puts forward three concepts that enable a better understanding of the access to resources and knowledge and their use in the context of social entrepreneurship. This study contributes to the knowledge management literature in identifying the process of gathering and sharing external resources and knowledge through an effectual process led by the entrepreneur and by the network.,The results complement the extant KM literature on the following points: identify the cumulative and absorptive process of knowledge from the network, contributing to the question of KM for growth and corporate entrepreneurship; answer to the claim from Durst and Runar Edvardsson (2012) to develop a greater understanding of knowledge identification, storage and utilization in small businesses; add to the topics of knowledge sharing, knowledge transfer and knowledge creation; and show that stages of creating, identifying, sharing and absorbing knowledge from/with the network are embedded in an effectual approach.,The lack of resources should not lead the entrepreneur to a dead end, but rather invite him/her to better raise following questions: Who can help me to get the missing resource? How could I develop the project without these resources and knowledge? The entrepreneur is invited to search more flexibility in the making of the project, and to seek more support from the network. A second important implication is a guideline that can be followed by business incubators to give better advice and guidance to social entrepreneurs.,The paper links effectuation, KM and social entrepreneurship literatures. The identification of the role of the network in knowledge creation, identification and sharing is valuable for both researchers and practitioners.

如何用更少的钱得到更多?稀缺资源和高度的社会野心:作为社会企业家项目中的知识管理工具而实现

本文旨在将对知识管理的研究与实现方法相结合。本文将加深对在社会企业家网络背景下将实现作为知识管理工具的理解。尽管研究人员一致认为,缺乏资源是社会企业家精神的结构性要点,而知识在社会企业家精神中至关重要,但只有极少数研究试图了解如何获取,转化和管理资源和知识。一种有效的方法似乎特别适合处理此主题。文献综述得出了一种理论模型,该模型在对法国企业家项目的单例研究中得到了检验。实证研究不仅显示了使用有效方法的合法性,而且提出了三个概念,可以更好地理解社会企业家精神中对资源和知识的获取及其使用。这项研究有助于知识管理文献通过企业家和网络领导的有效过程来识别收集和共享外部资源和知识的过程。结果补充了现有的知识管理文献,主要有以下几点:识别累积的知识和知识。网络中知识的吸收过程,助长了知识管理促进增长和企业创业的问题;回答了Durst和Runar Edvardsson(2012)提出的关于对知识识别有更深入了解的主张,小型企业的存储和利用;增加知识共享,知识转移和知识创造的主题;并显示出从网络/通过网络创建,识别,共享和吸收知识的阶段是一种有效的方法。缺乏资源不应导致企业家陷入僵局,而应邀请他/她更好地跟进问题:谁可以帮助我获得缺少的资源?没有这些资源和知识,我如何开发项目?邀请企业家在项目制作中寻求更多的灵活性,并从网络中寻求更多的支持。第二个重要含义是企业孵化器可以遵循的指南,以为社会企业家提供更好的建议和指导。知识管理和社会企业家文学。网络在知识创造,识别和共享中的作用的识别对于研究人员和从业人员都是有价值的。
