    The thesis titled "Rethinking social entrepreneurship: shifting from a founder-centric perspective to a collective effort in the gastronomy sector in Spain" by Jorge Navarro Dols (and supervised by Dr. José Luis González-Pernía) explores the evolving nature of social entrepreneurship in gastronomy, particularly in Spain. The author challenges the traditional founder-centric view of social entrepreneurship, emphasizing instead a collective effort among founders and joiners. The thesis argues that the success and sustainability of social ventures are highly dependent on collaborative efforts rather than individual leadership. Key themes include the definition and characteristics of social entrepreneurship, with a focus on how it operates within the gastronomy sector. Navarro-Dols highlights the role of "joiners" - individuals who join social ventures after their inception - and their crucial contributions to these enterprises. The research employs case studies, specifically focusing on social ventures in the Spanish gastronomic scene, to demonstrate how a collaborative perspective can lead to greater social impact. The study also addresses the challenges faced by social entrepreneurs, such as balancing social goals with economic sustainability, and how collective participation can mitigate these challenges. The findings suggest that by fostering collaboration and collective action, social ventures can achieve more sustainable growth and a deeper impact on communities. This research opens new avenues for understanding how social ventures can move beyond founder-centric models, advocating for a more inclusive approach to entrepreneurship in the gastronomic field. The thesis concludes with suggestions for future research, particularly around the dynamics of collaborative-based social entrepreneurship and its potential to bring about systemic social change in other sectors as well.
