“…At the theoretical papers, the most used theory was CSR (Rexhepi Et Al., 2013;Spena & Chiara, 2012;Canestrino Et Al., 2015). Hanke and Stark (2009), for instance, developed a framework to support measures and instruments to make the complex CSR process more visible and manageable.…”

Some companies realized that they can develop their business successfully when the resources are applied to solve chronic questions of social aspects, which takes us to the Corporate Social Innovation concept. Considering the definition of CSR as a voluntary integration of business operations with social and environmental concerns in a unilateral way (since initiatives are made when and how the firm establishes clear definition about it) CSI goes further, developing initiatives to minimize social or environmental issues with the participation of the involved public, in a bilateral way. Analyzing the most quoted articles about CSR and CSI studies, it has become possible to consider that CSI is an evolution of CSR, since both search to bring up some social benefits; however, CSI offers more sustainable and long-term results. CSI is a new, unexplored field, which brings effective results for private organizations, as well as for society and the environment. Keywords: Social responsibility; Corporate social responsibility; Social innovation; Corporate social innovation.Resumo: Algumas empresas perceberam que podem desenvolver seus negócios com sucesso quando os recursos são aplicados para resolver questões crônicas de aspectos sociais, o que nos leva ao conceito de Inovação Social Corporativa. Considerando a definição de RSC como uma integração voluntária de operações de negócios com preocupações sociais e ambientais de forma unilateral (uma vez que as iniciativas são feitas quando e como a empresa estabelece uma definição clara sobre isso) a ISC vai além, desenvolvendo iniciativas para minimizar problemas sociais ou ambientais com a participação do público envolvido, de forma bilateral. Analisando os artigos mais citados sobre RSC e ISC, foi possível considerar que a ISC é uma evolução da RSC, uma vez que ambas procuram desenvolver benefícios sociais. No entanto, a ISC oferece resultados mais sustentáveis e de longo prazo. A ISC é um campo novo e inexplorado, que traz resultados efetivos para organizações privadas, bem como para a sociedade e o meio ambiente.

“…What particularly interested the authors of this paper are the generators of social entrepreneurship. Since most research does not fully examine the antecedents of social entrepreneurial activity [11], the authors of this paper sought to fill this gap in the literature, taking into account the suggestions of individual researchers in terms of the influence of national culture [12,13] and cognitive [14], social [15], and demographic factors [16]. Our aim is to acquire knowledge of how values and beliefs and cognitive, social and demographic characteristics shape an individual to accomplish a social mission through social entrepreneurial activity.…”

With this paper, we aim to examine the relationship between cognitive, social, and demographical factors, as well as national culture and its relationship with social entrepreneurial activity in Southeast Europe (SEE). The empirical research employs a binary logistic regression model, utilizing data obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. For the purpose of the empirical research, we selected a sample of early-stage entrepreneurs who founded their businesses in Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, or North Macedonia. The research sample in these five countries includes 10,012 examinees, of which 615 are social entrepreneurs. A statistically significant relationship was identified between observed phenomena in terms of entrepreneurial networking, risk aversion, individualism, entrepreneurial social image, media impact, gender, work status, and education. The results can be explained by the specific entrepreneurial context of the SEE region. We also point out recommendations for future research.

“…Nevertheless, "the country's social indicators are relatively higher than regional standards", Arasti et al (2015) argued. Moreover, as Canestrino et al (2015) mentioned, Iran had low levels of innovation and high levels of social entrepreneurship. Also, the social relative to commercial start-up rate for Iran was 0.48 Estrin et al (2016).…”

Despite the importance of social startups, their evolution is rarely investigated. Thus, in this manuscript, the emergence of ICT-based social start-ups is studied using a multiple case study research method. To do so, five social start-ups are selected using a combination of purposive and convenience sampling and studied in detail, based on Lanteri's (2015) model regarding creation of social enterprises. Eight cofounders are interviewed and data triangulation is employed by collecting data from both primary and secondary sources. Also, replication logic is considered to be able to generalize the findings. Moreover, in order to better understand the phenomenon, the history of social entrepreneurship and its evolutionary trend in Iran is elaborated. The findings show that the evolutionary trend of social entrepreneurship in Iran could be classified into three stages, i.e. ancient Persia, entrance of Islam, and emergence of entrepreneurship as a field. Finally, the findings are categorized in four categories: (i) process, (ii) social entrepreneur/founder, (iii) activities, and (iv) organization.
