Abstract:

Migrants’ integration in society is an effective strategy for individual and collective well-being. However, migrants are often regarded as a problem, being accused of weighting on the public resources, or taking jobs from natives. In Italy, public administration finances a category of third-sector associations, social cooperatives, for running integration projects. Social cooperatives are regulated by law, and their purpose is not profit but a social objective. They face challenges in their operations that are typical of their structure, but there are also success factors that are typical to this form of organization and its relationship with society. This research focuses on a case of a social cooperative operating in the north of Milan, “Intrecci Cooperativa Sociale Onlus”, that works on migrants’ integration projects. This analysis found three instruments, characteristic to Italian social cooperatives, that are used by Intrecci and contribute to pursuing the organization’s social objectives. The first one is working on the long-term integration of migrants, an effective strategy for individuals and society. The second is employing social lending as a source of income diversification and consolidation in the territory. The last one is belonging to a consortium to get lobbying power, economies of scale, and financial mutual support. This research also analyzes strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, of this peculiar social cooperative. Advices are presented to mitigate the weaknesses: re-examine the outdated vision and mission statements; create an office, separated by the current operations, to discover and exploit opportunities; create a human resource office; create a marketing function to analyze all stakeholders’ needs; and create a research & development dedicated office, with the initial task to explore the opportunities from “Next Generation EU” European funding plan. Other social cooperatives could use the findings and apply to their business model and operations and increase their success toward the social goal of migrants’ integration.
