Research activity

Her research focuses on organizational design and change, social entrepreneurship, social enterprise and social impact. Specifically she is interested in studying how alternative models of business organising can create better living conditions and life quality for their workers and society at large. Professor Solórzano research aims to elucidate if ethical management and participatory governance generate a positive social and economic impact for people and the environment. To do so, she has focused her research on one specific business form that a priori complies with the two requirements by examining the social enterprise and how it is understood and being developed in Spain and the use of social impact tools to evaluate and monitor organizational performance. Her analysis has led to the recognition of different models of social enterprise in Spain depending on the socio-economic reality it is studied from, with continuities and ruptures.
