Indigenous communities in Colombia have been characterized by an economy of subsistence, influenced by the nomadic population that has allowed them to take advantage of the abundance of the environment in which they live and by the cultural context of these communities. The authors document a project initiative to co-create a sustainable entrepreneurship model for indigenous communities, to identify sustainable income alternatives adjusted to the culture and living conditions of indigenous people. First experiences of this project took place in La Fraguita Community in the Department of Caquetá at the south of Colombia, where a social entrepreneurship incubation process was deployed, identifying different productive activities, selecting grounded organic chili pepper as a pilot for the implementation of a culture-based and local product income alternative, with added value provided by the community.

Nowadays, successful companies are those that build their adaptability by improving business processes, optimizing costs, increasing customer satisfaction, and responding quickly to their customers´ needs. The company can choose two ways: keep its status quo, without going forward or backward, or to act on the opportunities that appear in the market. The reality consists of opportunities that the entrepreneur faces, and also, there are barriers, limitations, and disappointments that arise. Still, if they use innovative solutions, they gain a competitive advantage. In the modern world, the necessary resource is knowledge, which allows entrepreneurs to improve the position of the company in the market. This chapter presents the results of a study among economics and management students, who defined their way of understanding entrepreneurship, and indicate motives of starting-up a business and ranked the features that they believed are the attributes of a successful businessperson.

Three public European case studies are presented as an evaluation of a preliminary test of an adapted questionnaire to measure open social innovation. Findings include the differences and similarities between public and private performance. Public practitioners integrate these experiences later than private. The reasons for engaging in open innovation are different: whereas improving citizens´ relationships is the major public reason, creating partnerships is the private driver. Finally, technologies help open innovation in both public and private cases. Furthermore, it may be concluded that there is a lack of open social innovation professionals that leads to a barrier in the development of these policies in the public sector.
