Palabras clave: éxito emprendedor sostenible, doble viabilidad, ADN-ALMA, bienestar emprendedor, análisis cualitativo secundario, patrones configuracionales

Resumen

Objetivo. Proponer y contrastar exploratoriamente ADN-ALMA, una arquitectura configuracional para analizar el éxito emprendedor sostenible como doble viabilidad: continuidad económica y capacidad humana para sostenerla. Método. Se realizó un análisis cualitativo secundario de 24 entrevistas públicas a fundadores y propietarios-directivos. El corpus combinó empresas de alto crecimiento, pymes, negocios ordinarios, iniciativas orientadas al propósito, experiencias de fragilidad personal y cinco proyectos cerrados. La unidad de análisis fue el episodio que vinculaba señal, decisión, práctica y consecuencia. La codificación utilizó siete dimensiones —Ajuste, Disciplina, Navegación, Autenticidad, Liderazgo, Movimiento y Aportación—, búsqueda de casos negativos, contraste de explicaciones rivales y siete lecturas de sensibilidad. Resultados. Ajuste y Disciplina aparecieron como umbrales recurrentes de continuidad; Navegación y Movimiento actuaron como mecanismos diferentes pero conectados entre interpretación y cambio; Autenticidad solo mostró valor organizativo cuando se convirtió en decisiones costosas; Liderazgo hizo visible la institucionalización del cuidado, la voz y la responsabilidad; y Aportación fortaleció legitimidad cuando estuvo integrada en una economía viable. Se obtuvieron cinco patrones configuracionales exploratorios: viabilidad integrada, adaptación austera, propósito tensionado, escala desalineada y resiliencia transformadora. Originalidad/valor. La contribución no reside en inventar variables aisladas, sino en relacionarlas mediante doble viabilidad, reglas de no compensación y un puente Navegación-Movimiento. El modelo complementa los lienzos de negocio al hacer visibles dependencia fundadora, deuda humana, coherencia y calidad de la adaptación.
