Resumen

Los parques científicos (PC) son uno de agentes más comunes, pero también más controvertidos, de las políticas públicas de innovación. Los resultados divergentes sobre su impacto y aportación de valor ponen de manifiesto que no ejercen un efecto homogéneo en todas las tipologías de empresa. Mediante este trabajo se ha querido explorar e identificar las vías por las que los PC crean valor para el emprendimiento social y mostrar su potencial relevancia como elementos dinamizadores de este tipo de emprendimientos. Este estudio busca determinar de forma exploratoria en qué medida ciertos atributos de los parques influyen en la percepción de valor y en las motivaciones de las empresas y entidades de economía social para ubicarse en estos espacios. Para ello se acomete un estudio empírico sobre una muestra de 25 empresas sociales ubicadas en cinco PC de España y se aplica un análisis fsQCA para vincular distintos perfiles de empresa social con los posibles beneficios percibidos por la ubicación en un PC. Nuestros resultados revelan que las empresas con una mayor motivación prosocial decidieron localizarse en un PC fundamentalmente atraídas por las facilidades de acceso a financiación pública y por las condiciones preferentes en el alquiler. Se identifican también los perfiles de empresas sociales más atraídas por la proximidad a la universidad y por los efectos de aglomeración que les aporta el parque donde se ubican.
