An alternative approach to poverty and income inequality through the implementation of a multi-sectoral model

我在哲学、政治学和经济学方面的学习使我接触到了现代性概念、经济发展战略、政治经济学、话语学、计量经济学等领域的研究。这些科目使我能够为理解我所关心的问题的某些方面打下基础，而博士学位将为我提供一套专业技能和工具，这是我目前的专业和学术发展所无法提供的。我的学术和职业抱负集中在能够研究，制定和实践社会经济模型，重点关注公共，盈利和非营利组织之间的互动，以促进或鼓励更公正的经济和社会政策，以及社会发展项目。在这次旅程中，我想首先在英国内部制定和应用这些社会经济模型，主要有两个原因。首先，被英国所接纳使我有机会实现我的学术和职业潜力，因此，我希望能够通过我的学术研究和职业生涯为英国提供一些回报。英国作为一个发达国家，目前又决定退出欧盟，这为我打算在学术生涯中研究的社会经济模型的研究、开发和实践提供了理想的条件。一旦我能够在英国实现其中的一些方面，我想通过创建自我可持续发展的项目，将一些研究和经验转移到哥伦比亚，促进最贫困地区的社会和经济增长。我认为，我们所生活的当今世界的正义可以通过多部门办法来实现，换句话说，就是社会三个主要部门的合作，即社会企业家精神、商业企业家精神和政府或公共部门。2015年至2016年在Fresh Beginnings工作期间，我观察到一个非营利组织在满足一群人的需求方面可以发挥的重要作用，它在不同部门之间架起了一座桥梁，从而激发了人们在后英国退欧时代攻读贫困和收入不平等博士学位的愿望。英国脱欧的主要担忧之一是对经济的影响，尤其是对贫困和收入不平等的影响。随着诸如无家可归、食物银行、贫困等社会问题的增加，同时用于解决这些问题的资金减少，英国面临着用更少的资源满足更多社会需求的挑战。跨学科博士学位旨在通过研究英国脱欧对贫困和收入不平等的潜在影响，同时观察商业企业家或利润驱动组织，社会企业家和政府之间的合作行为，为后英国脱欧时代的贫困和收入不平等提供多部门方法。因此，将社会企业家精神作为优化社会企业家精神、商业企业家精神、政府和受益者之间的联系和政策声音的工具。优化社会企业家精神必须通过运用动态能力理论和资源基础理论确定社会企业家精神的使命有效性来进行评估。这些理论的结合将使使命有效性的制定成为可能，从而优化社会企业家精神。博士学位旨在通过多部门模式的实施，提供一种解决贫困和收入不平等的替代方法，在这种模式中，优化的社会企业家精神被用作解决贫困和收入不平等的工具，同时确保优化的社会企业家精神提供高质量的服务，有效地满足特定的社会需求，并在资金有限的时代最大限度地利用政府资源。

My studies in philosophy, politics and economics have exposed me to areas of studies such as conceptions of modernity, strategies of economic development, political economy, Discourse, Econometrics, etc. These subjects have enabled me to achieve the foundations to understand some aspects of the matters close to my heart, however, a PhD would offer me a set of specialised skills and tools not yet provided by my current professional and academic development. My academic and professional aspirations are focused on being able to research, formulate and exercise social economic models that focus in the interaction between the public, profit and non-profitable organisations in order to promote or encourage more just economic and social policies, alongside projects for social development. In this journey, I would like first to formulate and apply such social economic models within in the UK for two main reasons. Firstly, being embraced by the UK has enabled with the opportunity to actualize, both my academic and professional potential, consequently, I would like to be able to offer something back to the UK through the means of my academic research and professional career. The UK, being a developed country and the current decision to leave the European Union, offers desirables conditions for the research, development and exercising of the social economic models which I intend to research in my academic career. Once I have been able to achieve some of these aspects within the UK I would like to transfer some of the research and experience gained to Colombian by the creation of self-sustainable projects which promote social and economic growth within the most deprived areas. I believe that justice in the current world we live in can be achieved through Multi-sectoral approach, in other words, the cooperation of three main sectors of society, which are social-entrepreneurship, commercial- entrepreneurship and government or the public sector. During my work with Fresh Beginnings during 2015-16 I was able to observe the important role a non-profit organisation could have with the needs of a group of individuals by creating a bridge between different sectors thus inspiring the desire to pursue a PhD on poverty and income inequality on a post Brexit era. One of the main concerns of the UK leaving the EU is the impact on the economy, especially in poverty and income inequality. As the levels of social issues, such as homelessness, foodbanks, poverty and others increase, while funding available to tackle these issues decreases the UK faces the challenge to meet more social needs with fewer resources. The interdisciplinary PhD aims to offer a multi-sectoral approach to poverty and income inequality on a post Brexit era, by looking at the potential impact of Brexit on poverty and income inequality, while also observing the cooperative behaviour between commercial entrepreneurship or profit-driven organisation, social entrepreneurship and the government. Thus, concentrating on social entrepreneurship as a vehicle for optimising connectivity and policy voice between the social entrepreneurship, commercial entrepreneurship, government and the beneficiary. Optimising social entrepreneurship must be evaluated by the process of determining the mission effectiveness of the social entrepreneurship using the Dynamic Capabilities Theory and Resource-Based Theory. The combination of these theories will enable the formulation of mission effectiveness and in consequence the optimization of social entrepreneurship. The PhD will aim to offer an alternative approach to poverty and income inequality through the implementation of a multi-sectoral model where an Optimised Social Entrepreneurship is used as a vehicle to tackle poverty and income inequality, while assuring that optimised social entrepreneurship offers high-quality services, effectively meeting specific social needs in conjunction with maximising government's resources in an era of limited funding.
