    El objetivo de este artículo es proporcionar una reflexión conceptual a la luz de la reexaminación de la noción de investigación de la empresa social (ES) dentro de la perspectiva más amplia de los "ecosistemas" desarrollada en el último decenio. Partiendo del análisis de algunos de los desafíos societales más urgentes, se describe el contexto actual de la investigación de la ES. A continuación, se examinan algunos de los proyectos más recientes sobre la ES en particular y la economía social y solidaria en general, así como sobre la innovación social, con miras a señalar las repercusiones -tanto para la comunidad académica como para la sociedad en general- del desarrollo de un "enfoque de ecosistemas de ES". Posteriormente se identifican algunas lagunas permanentes en la investigación de la ES y se hace hincapié en las posibles reconfiguraciones que es probable que se produzcan en cuanto a los desafíos ecosistémicos

    The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual reflection resulting from the re-examination of the notion of social enterprise (SE) research within the wider “ecosystems” perspective developed in the past decade. Departing from the analysis of some of the most urgent societal challenges, the current context for conducting SE research is described. Next, some of the most recent research of SE and the wider social and solidarity economy and social innovation is reviewed with a view on pointing out the repercussions —both for the academic community and society overall— of the development of a "SE ecosystem approach".

    Some standing SE research gaps are then identified while emphasizing possible reconfigurations likely to occur in terms of ecosystemic challenges.
