Accompanying the Strengthening of Organizational Capacity with Entrepreneurs and Community Entrepreneurs: Methodological Guidelines

Abstract

Based on the research Building Together our Reality: Proposed Methodological Guidelines of Accompanying for Strengthening Processes of Organizational Capacity with Entrepreneurs and Community Entrepreneurs it is presented in this article the results of the documented analysis, the case study, and the comparative experiences, from which it is theorized and Methodological Guidelines of Accompanying are proposed, general guidelines for planning and designing these processes. The documented analysis allows proposing a sound theoretical, conceptual, and methodological foundation for the development of the research. Furthermore, the case study gives insight into the process under study, its context, its successes and its failures. The comparative analysis provides perspective and context. It seeks therefore, to rescue the best experiences for the planning of possible future scenarios for the implementation of similar processes. These scenarios are based on the classification of processes on those with a Focus on Business (EN) and those with Focus on Organizational Capabilities (ECO), and it suggested that the combination of these elements must be intentional since it influences the capacity building for Associative Implementation Strategies (EA) by entrepreneurs and community entrepreneurs.
