4 Countries SLEPT Analysis in short

• The SLEPT analysis (fully versions in the
  Countrys Reports), identify two speeds group
  of Countries
• Italy and UK, where the maturity of the Social
  Economy and Social Entrepreneurship sectors
  already reached the highest level and where both
  the public awareness and the common
  understanding of the crucial roles of those
  sectors are fully absorbed
• Slovenia and Poland, where a confusion on the
  common understood meaning of Social Economy and
  Social Entrepreneurship still persist and keeps
  lower the level of maturity, dynamism and range
  of activities social enterprises are dealing
  with
• Poland, despite of the highest economic
  indicators of Slovenia and the longer EU
  membership, shows a more dynamic development of
  those sectors in comparison with Slovenia, Poland
  has already an Ethic Bank system which is totally
  missing in Slovenia on the other side Slovenia
  has a more positive trend in terms of CSR
  absorption
• Level of innovation in social enterprises UK and
  Italy, more mature and open to competition
  (mostly internal), is higher then in Slovenia and
  Poland, where space for improvements exist

Stakeholders Analysis in short

• an high fragmentation of Stakeholders, more
  (Italy) or less (Slovenia) integrated,
  characterized the situation in Slovenia and
  Italy
• in addition, some types of Stakeholders, such as
  Credit Cooperative Banks or Rural banks or Ethics
  banks or Popular banks, are specific categories
  of Stakeholders existing in Italy Enterprises
  which apply CSR (gt30 of SA8000 certified
  companies are Italians) play also a significant
  role it Italy and worth to be taken in
  consideration
• in Slovenia, a significant role as Stakeholders
  has been given to Lucrative Enterprises and
  this a clear result of the past industrial
  history and value based structure of the civil
  society, where the companies where an integral
  part of the civil society and directly
  contributed to it by what nowadays could be
  defined CSR
• in UK and Poland the number of Stakeholders is
  limited
• in Poland because is highly concentrated and the
  sector still need to take its place
• in UK because few large Stakeholders make the
  system a kind of oligopoly what appears in UK
  is the importance given to academics and
  researchers as Primary Key Stakeholder and Banks
  as Secondary Key on the other side no
  Stakeholders have been detected as external
