This volume examines the theoretical and empirical landscape of
social entrepreneurship in both non-profit and profit sectors. It
extends the traditional view of social entrepreneurship to include
the environmental and institutional factors that affect the
emergence of social entrepreneurship activities, such as formal
laws, regulations, procedures and informal institutions. The
editors aim to provide evidence and increased understanding of this
growing phenomenon. Social Entrepreneurship is gaining recognition
as a key element of economic and social development. It embraces a
wide set of situations with a broad scope of activities in
for-profit and non-profit organizations interested in social
performance and/or in economically profitable performance, with an
emphasis on achieving social aim. In the strict sense, social
entrepreneurship corresponds to entrepreneurs whose main concern is
to achieve social objectives rather than to obtain personal
financial profits. However, there is still much to be learned about
the dynamics and processes of social entrepreneurship. The current
literature in the field has tended to focus on psychological
experiences and personal characteristics, or on organizational
perspectives such as resources, capabilities and leadership. This
book intends to provide theoretical frameworks and empirical
studies to this very new and broad field. Specifically, this book
provides a collection of contemporary research in the following
topics: How to create opportunity through social innovation How to
detect entrepreneurial opportunity to meet social needs How to
develop social entrepreneurship, while still seeking profits How to
discover opportunities for different forms of social
entrepreneurship Featuring contributions from around the world,
this book is a valuable source for students, academics,
researchers, policy makers, and professionals in the area of social
entrepreneurship.
