“…Institutions such as the police (K'nife and Haughton ; Roberts and King ), the state and cities (Korosec and Berman ; Luke and Verreynne ) also have great interest in partnering with social ventures that will, for example, contribute to social peace and extend education to violence‐stricken areas (Hlady‐Rispal and Servantie ). In return, institutions will help social entrepreneurs to capture resources, synchronizing with other entities to apply programmes or use tax exemptions and preferential utility charges as incentives (Wong and Tang ).…”

According to existing literature, the core of social entrepreneurship (SE) knowledge is evolving and, as such, it has made important contributions to theoretical definitions and essential characterizations. However, more theoretical issues need to be addressed before the SE field can be fully explained and understood. In particular, the authors observe in the literature that, within empirical or conceptual studies, almost all authors use the term 'value', but seemingly assume the dimensions of value rather than define or analyse its connotations and components. This paper uses the value construct and its multi-faceted dimensions to deconstruct the way in which value is created in the SE context. The authors argue that an analysis based on value generation, value capture and value sharing provides important insights into the specificity of SE research and can facilitate future theorizing. Through the conceptual lens of this central concept of value emanating from value theory and business model literature, the authors abductively analyse and classify the studies, providing a practical resource. The authors discuss the phenomenon, presenting an integrative framework that facilitates a clearer understanding of the social value creation process and suggest future research areas as openings for theory development in relation to value creation, its main components and flows.

“…These findings align with much of the prior empirical work on PSM (Perry and Wise 1990;Perry 1996Perry , 1997Hsieh, Yang, and Fu 2011), which explains how public sector workers are drawn to their work because of a deep-rooted compassion or closeness to the missions of or causes supported by their organizations. Furthermore, in certain contexts, this motivational component can have increased resonance (Wong and Tang 2007). Some individuals in this sample came from economically depressed areas, a context which may have influenced this motivational component.…”

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an increasingly popular practice in which business solutions are applied to social problems. While empirical study of the various facets of SE is on the rise, the motivation of social entrepreneurs -a key antecedent of SE -has received little attention. In contrast, substantial theoretical and empirical work exists on the motivation of commercial entrepreneurs as well as the motivation for public-social sector work. Seeking to fill a gap in the SE literature, this paper presents qualitative findings from in-person, in-depth interviews with self-identified nascent social entrepreneurs that participated in an SE training program in the USA. The findings provide an empirical foundation for further theory development and research on SE motivation.

“…In the UK, it is estimated that there are at least 500,000 innovative nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) employing more than 4% of the workforce and accounting for 3% of the gross national product. In the US, it has been reasoned that 1.6 million growing notfor-profit ventures employ 8% of the workforce and account for 7% of national income (Wong and Tang, 2007). Moreover, there are at least 400,000 NGOs in Russia, over a million in India, and the world's international NGOs have been estimated to number approximately 47,000 (Anheier, 2005).…”

A Model of Social Entrepreneurial Discovery

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ABSTRACT. Social entrepreneurship activity continues to surge tremendously in market and economic systems around the world. Yet, social entrepreneurship theory and understanding lag far behind its practice. For instance, the nature of the entrepreneurial discovery phenomenon, a critical area of inquiry in general entrepreneurship theory, receives no attention in the specific context of social entrepreneurship. To address the gap, we conceptualize social entrepreneurial discovery based on an extension of corporate social responsibility into social entrepreneurship contexts. We develop a model that emphasizes mobilization and timing as underpinnings of social entrepreneurial discovery and offer distinct conceptual aspects and theoretic propositions instrumental to future social entrepreneurship research.
