“…Although the literature also highlights this finding (van Wijk et al, 2019;Westley and Antadze, 2010), this dependence may be greater in less developed environments, especially regarding funding sources. The second variation was the low government participation in the investigated cases, which differs from the more participatory position highlighted in the previous literature (Choi and Park, 2021;Park and Wilding, 2013). The third was the need for institutional change, which may be related to institutional voids in less developed regions (Mair and Marti, 2009;Turker and Vural, 2017).…”

PurposeSocial innovation has been attracting attention in the literature and the practice field due to its intention to create social value. However, the social innovation process is still poorly studied and is marked by several disagreements in the existing models, often built from data coming from developed countries. So, the focus of this study is to answer the following research question: how is the social innovation process configured in a developing context?Design/methodology/approachThe study investigated three cases of Brazilian social innovation processes through a qualitative approach. The authors also use the institutional levels perspectives to analyse the cases.FindingsThe main findings indicate that the social innovation process comprises five phases and occurs between the micro, meso and macro institutional levels. Besides, the social innovation process relies on the participation of different partners, in a non-sequential process, with the possibility of returning from one stage to another and is evaluated continuously over time.Practical implicationsThis study may be useful for social entrepreneurs and their teams in organisations that generate social innovations (such as social enterprises) to understand how well-established initiatives have organised themselves over time. Public policymakers may also use the insights provided to create more favourable environments to create new social innovation initiatives and expand the existing ones.Originality/valueThe characteristics of the social innovation process revealed in this study contributes to the advancement of the area, mainly because it considers the perspective of institutional levels and is based on data from a developing country.

“…Some scholars believe that infrastructure is an important obstacle to the survival and development of social enterprises [ 31 ]. Faced with these obstacles, the local government’s support to social enterprises is very effective [ 32 ]. However, when the government provides support, it is temporary and lacks a comprehensive method guidance.…”

As Chinese population ageing becomes increasingly severe, the disjunct between supply and demand for pension services is becoming increasingly serious. The development of elderly care social enterprises plays an important role in solving this disjunction. Such development comes from both the enterprise’s own capacity building and from external support. There are abundant studies on the capacity-building of pension social enterprises in the existing literature, but there are relatively few studies on their external support. In order to better study the external support of elderly care social enterprises in China, we adopted the case study method; we selected GY (a typical elderly care social enterprise in China) as a case study according to certain criteria, and we conducted a series of discussions. Firstly, an analytical ‘government-society-family’ framework was constructed. Second, it was argued that there is insufficient external support for elderly care social enterprises. At the government level, there is a lack of policies, difficulties in implementation and significant geographical differences; at the social level, there are weak support platforms and lack of community supports; and at the family level, there are constraints in regard to traditional concepts and the ability to pay. Finally, an external support system of Chinese elderly care social enterprises was constructed to help more elderly care social enterprises overcome the lack of external support in the development process.

“…In general, the characteristics of SEs are different in nonprofit organizations and for-profit firms in that they are market-oriented (generate revenue) while pursuing social goals rather than profit alone (Choi & Park 2020). They are a combination of the profit-making components of for-profit businesses with the social values and missions of nonprofit organizations (Kadir et al, 2019;.…”

“…As presented in most previous studies commonly focused on development (Doherty & Kittipanya-ngam 2021;García-Jurado et al, 2021;Popkova & Sergi 2019), SEs sustainability (Ketprapakorn & Kantabutra 2019;Mahfuz Ashraf et al, 2019;Samsuddin et al, 2021), and legal framework (Kadir et al, 2019;Nizam et al, 2017;Ye 2021). Two studies concentrated on tax policies in SEs (Killian & O'Regan 2019;Radzi et al, 2021), two papers focused on public policy Choi & Park 2020), and two other studies were conducted from the financing perspective (Akbulaev et al, 2019;Subačienė et al, 2019). Most remaining papers concentrated on typology to analyze the definitions of SEs (Erpf et al, 2019).…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p class="AbstractText">Malaysia is likely to introduce new laws on social enterprises of taxation. However, the important questions are whether the said laws are adequate. This study explores previous research on social enterprises and taxation to gain a further understanding through a systematic literature review on social enterprises and taxation from the Malaysian perspective. This is normative legal research. The data was gathered through library research which consisted of numerous publications. This study concludes that tax and social enterprises, perhaps due to the different economic structures in each country, result in taxation being slightly discussed by previous scholars. Nevertheless, we clearly define social enterprises from different perspectives, including the characteristics present in social enterprises. Moreover, the perspective regarding tax relief for social enterprises in Malaysia has been highlighted. Although Malaysia has introduced a new policy to support its social enterprises with Social Enterprise Accreditation, a more significant regulatory or tax incentives approach is needed to support social enterprises in Malaysia.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
