“…A growing number of authors identify the partners' institutional logics as sources of conflict which impede the efficiency and effectiveness of the partnership (e.g. Ahmadsimab & Chowdhury, 2021;Hesse et al, 2019;Saz-Carranza & Longo, 2012;Vurro et al, 2010;Yang, 2016). How these logics translate to the micro-level, where individual members of the partnership represent and enact them, has not been in the research focus so far.…”

Cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) addressing economic, social, and environmental issues continue to be a vibrant topic in management research and beyond. However, compared to the exogenous factors that drive collaborative advantage through structures and governance, the endogenous problems of collaborating across different institutional logics, residing at the micro-level of interactions among partners from the business, government, and nonprofit sectors, have received scant attention. The preoccupation with success factors often leads to a bias toward the problem-solving capacities of CSPs at the neglect of the considerable barriers to successful collaboration across sectors. This study addresses this shortcoming and extracts an institutional approach of CSPs from an integrative review of the literature combining bibliometric methods with qualitative reviewing. A bibliometric map shows how the literature is divided into several clusters, each addressing a specific type of CSP but not engaging much in exchange with other clusters. Zooming in on the clusters provides a more nuanced picture of how institutional theory has hitherto been applied to CSPs. We build on these pieces of the puzzle and assemble them into a preliminary framework that accounts for inter-institutional conflicts in CSPs and actor-level responses to these conflicts. Our framework introduces a new analytical platform that facilitates multi-level research, bringing the micro-level of individual actors back in and connecting it with institutional frames at the macro-level.

“…The SE field has also attracted non-business scholars, as shown by papers from the nonprofit, social work, public policy, economics, and tourism disciplines. This may reflect the interdisciplinary of SE as a field of research, and or its hybrid (combining business and nonprofit approaches) and often-ambiguous nature (Yang, 2016), SE can be examined from privateness, nonprofitness, and publicness aspects, as well as economic and sustainability phenomenon.…”

Social entrepreneurship research in the Greater China Region: a scoping review and new research framework

Increasing attention is being paid to the practice of social entrepreneurship in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, or so-called the Greater China Region. Despite the growing popularity of SE as a field of inquiry in the Region, there has been no attempt to appraise the state of the art of the intellectual development of SE scholarship in the Region. In this article, we conducted a scoping review and critically analyzed 46 peer-reviewed articles published on SE in the Greater China that were sourced from Web of Science and Google Scholar. Overall, we found that the Chinese SE scholarship lacks novelty, focuses on what is already "obvious" to the mainstream SE scholarship, and follows the similar "style and taste" of SE research in the West. As a remedy, we propose a new framework for Chinese SE research by broadening the scope of SE, localizing theoretical lenses and concepts, exploring new contexts, and re-tooling and reskilling. We call upon SE scholars to pursue more out-of-the-box, original, and daring research to contribute to and engage in meaningful conversation with the mainstream SE scholarship.
