The social economy in the sports entrepreneurship in Spain
Keywords:
sport, social economy, cooperative, entrepreneurship.Abstract
Within the social economy, defined in Spain through Law 5/2011, March 29th, of Social Economy, fails the cooperative form. Cooperatives are characterized by being societies formed by associated people, in a free adhesion and voluntary resignation regime, under a democratic system for the conduction of business activities aimed at satisfying the economic and social needs of its members. In entrepreneurship, one of the key aspects is the choice of a legal figure aligned with the needs of entrepreneurs, their objectives and values. Taking into account that the cooperative is presented as a valid legal form for entrepreneurship, the aim of this research was to analyse the existence of a social economy in the Spanish sports field under the cooperative formula. To this purpose, the SABI database was analysed by applying the variables of the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE) code, founding year and autonomous community. The applied CNAE codes were those related to the production of sports services. The results indicated a low percentage of commercial organizations registered under the figure of cooperative (0.45%) with a greater presence in the autonomous community of Andalusia. These results are similar to the reality of all the CNAE codes. Further studies are required to analyse in depth the opportunities and barriers of sports cooperatives, as well as sports economic activities that could benefit the most from this entrepreneurship formula.
