Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze the permanent contributions of entrepreneurial actions coordinated by the “Associação Comercial e Industrial de Livramento – ACIL”, from 1991 until 2019 in Santana do Livramento. As methodological procedures, a qualitative approach was adopted, with a case study method, and interviews were conducted with four people, between members, former members and collaborators of ACIL of great relevance in the execution of these activities. The result obtained is the confirmation of permanent contributions, derived from the entrepreneurial actions of ACIL, which are divided into two topics: Material and immaterial contributions. From the material contributions, in general, actions such as the creation of the “Departamento de Jovens Empresários – D.J.E.”), have triggered professional qualifications and the consequent generation of jobs that exist to this day in the city. On the other hand, the intangible contributions are covered in the knowledge and training that were obtained, through actions such as the “Projeto Empreender, at “Semana Farroupilha Internacional”, in courses at the "Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas - SEBRAE", whose was articulated through association, and which are intangible, but which will be permanent and available in society.
