摘要

目的:本研究提出了一项方法建议,以分析发展中国家关键背景下创业项目的可行性。设计/方法/方法:方法建议应用于Kumbungu(加纳)一家乳木果厂整体可行性分析的案例研究。基于定性设计,实施了不同的临时参与性工具,例如每日日程安排,结合其他研究技术(焦点小组,访谈等)。研究结果:该建议包括十个具体步骤来分析创业项目的可行性。一方面,它要求社区成员积极参与,以便能够对他们的需要作出真正的分析;另一方面,综合分析允许从经济、社会和技术角度评估项目的可持续性。该方法应用于加纳一家乳木果油厂的启动和管理。强调了一些核心方面:1)在决策时,人被认为是关键,因此参与性工具(如日常工作研讨会)对于确保企业的可持续性至关重要;2)使工具适应环境的需要。在加纳这样的环境中,这一点至关重要,因为语言可能是一个障碍,或者文盲率很高。3)从方法论上,得出的结论是,有必要优先考虑企业的可持续性,而不仅仅是效率。原创性/价值:本研究将商业可行性分析的经典工具与开发合作的工具相结合。从这个意义上说,建议进行整体可行性分析,不仅包括项目的经济可持续性,还包括社会和技术方面,更重要的是,考虑到所有利益相关者的积极参与。

Integral viability analysis of entrepreneurial projects in critical contexts: Application to the case of the management of a shea mill in Kumbungu, Ghana
Purpose: This research presents a methodological proposal to analyse the viability of entrepreneurial projects in critical contexts of developing countries.Design/methodology/approach: The methodological proposal is applied to a case study on the integral viability analysis of a shea mill in Kumbungu (Ghana). Based on a qualitative design, different ad hoc participatory tools are implemented, such as a daily routine schedule, combined with other research techniques (focus groups, interviews, etc.).Findings: The proposal includes ten specific steps to analyse the viability of entrepreneurial projects. It involves, on the one hand, the active participation of the members of the community in order to be able to make a real analysis of their needs; and, on the other hand, an integrating analysis that allows evaluating the sustainability of the project from an economic, social and technological perspective. The methodology is applied to the start-up and management of a shea butter mill in Ghana. Some core aspects are highlighted: 1) people are considered key when making decisions, thus participatory tools (such as the daily routines workshop) can be essential in ensuring the sustainability of the enterprise; 2) the need to adapt the tools to the context. This is crucial in contexts such as Ghana, where language may be a barrier or because the illiteracy rate is high. And 3) from the methodology, it is concluded that it is necessary to prioritise the sustainability of the enterprise in general, not just efficiency.Originality/value: The research combines the classic tools of business viability analysis with those of development cooperation. In this sense, it is proposed to carry out an integral viability analysis that includes not only the economic sustainability of the project, but also the social and technological aspects and, more important, where the active participation of all the stakeholders is considered.

期刊介绍: The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
