University for Continuing Education Krems Mapping actor roles and collaboration dynamics in Perú’s impact investing sector: A systemic and actor-network perspective This thesis explores how key actors' roles and relationships shape transformation dynamics in Perú’s impact investing sector. Drawing on a qualitative approach, the research combines thematic analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with the construction of a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) to uncover patterns of collaboration, transformation opportunities, and actor influence. Actor-Network Theory and systems thinking provide the theoretical lenses through which these interactions are interpreted, offering a perspective that treats both human and non-human elements, such as policies, narratives, and financial tools, as influential in shaping change. Findings reveal that transformation in the sector is closely linked to actor participation, investment readiness, knowledge dissemination, and the presence of enabling policies. In addition to well-known actors like investors and government institutions, the study highlights the underexplored role of associations, cooperatives, and multi-role intermediaries, particularly relevant in the Peruvian context. The research demonstrates how informal coordination and fragmented infrastructure currently shape sectoral dynamics, while also identifying points of leverage where collaboration could be strengthened. This research offers a systems-based understanding of an under-researched national sector, contributing conceptual and empirical insights relevant to practitioners, policymakers, and scholars seeking to advance impact investing in emerging markets. en TEXT Master theses Masterarbeit Tesi di master Text Masterarbeit Text Master theses Testo Tesi di master Impact Investing Collaboration Systems Thinking Actor-Network Theory Perú 2025 2025 Mariana Gil Colmenares Liliya Satalkina Ana Ferreira
