Social economy organizations (SEOs), designed to do good for society, have been attracting significant attention as an alternative to purely profit-driven businesses. However, the sustainability of these hybrid organizations has been questioned due to the challenges in meeting the dual bottom-lines of financial performance and social purpose. This article takes a causal-process tracing (CPT) case study approach and analyzes eight SEOs to investigate the common characteristics of sustainable SEOs. The results of the analysis show that effective leadership is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for the survival of SEOs, while leadership is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for SEOs’ thriving. Business competitiveness is found to be necessary for SEOs’ long-term success and performance over time. Collaborative networking is a contributory condition for SEOs thriving but not a necessary condition for their survival.

This chapter examines the role of telework as a driving force behind third sector activities and in the creation of networks and links between organizations in that sector. Telework as a tool has generated considerable change in the traditional organization of work. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to respond more quickly to customer requirements and to users and beneficiaries of third sector and social economy organizations. Online connections and services provided by telework have also led to a greater density of contacts between organizations in the third sector, which promotes the transmission of information and collaborative practices in providing services to the public.

This text concerns the recent financial supervision regime for mutual associations. The aim of this paper is not to elaborate any theoretical discourse, in terms of the general theory of public regulation and, in particular, in the general theory of financial regulation, about the financial supervision of social economy organizations, in which also are included mutualist associations, but more modestly to analyze the legal-constitutional legitimacy of (legally) qualified as “authentic interpretation” of the provisions of paragraph f) of n.º. 5 of article 6 of Decree-Law n.º 59/2018 of 2 August on the power granted to the Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority (ASF) to “analyze the governance system” of mutual associations during the term of the “12-year transitional regime”, provided for in that article 6, applicable to “existing mutual associations”, pursuant to the wording of article 2 of Decree-Law n.º 37/2019 of 15 March, as well as on the legal regime of administrative acts and private acts, when practiced under this “interpretative” rule. That is, the object of the article focuses on the analysis of the regime of Decree-Law No. 58/2018, of 2/8, as interpreted by Decree-Law n.º 37/2019, of 15/3, confronting this analysis with the methodical juridical-constitutional presupposed by the irreducible dimension of the component or radiant freedoms of freedom of association.

Social Economy Organizations

In Morocco, the emergence of the cooperative sector in a structured and organized form dates back to the 1980s, although the culture of solidarity, mutual aid and collective work constitute a component of Moroccan culture and traditions. Indeed, social economy organizations, particularly associations and cooperatives, have rapidly developed thanks to the efforts made by the State, especially in the rural world for the financing and support of development projects, the fight against illiteracy, precariousness and poverty, the promotion and integration of women into the economic circuit. Even today and since May 18, 2005, the date of the launch of the National Human Development Initiative (INDH) by His Majesty King Mohamed VI, the aim of this study is to compare the Moroccan Model of cooperative with the other’s counties models.
