BACKGROUND AND GENERAL OBJECTIVE

Technology Social Ventures are social businesses which aim to satisfy a social need through the development and implementation of technological tools, while also pursuing financial sustainability.

The aim of this project is to inquiry the specific advantages and managerial challenges that characterise this peculiar kind of social businesses.

WHAT WE DID

We reviewed current literature about Technology Social Ventures to identify their main characteristics.

The results constituted the basis for drawing semi-structured interviews, which were performed with some Italian Technology Social Ventures.
