“…Far from aiming at any “unification”, it highlights the existence of very different major models, which themselves open up to a diversity of effective practices within them. An in-depth understanding of the different models of SE makes it possible to identify future challenges that are anything but trivial – such challenges are analysed in detail in the four “ICSEMs books” (Bidet and Defourny, 2019; Gaiger et al , 2019; Defourny and Nyssens, 2021a, 2021b).…”

“…To answer these questions, we have to trace the intellectual path of the development of SE research that has unfolded through different EMES research projects over the last decades. Through this contribution, the goal is certainly not to summarise all the – numerous, fruitful and thorough – research projects which have been carried out by EMES members, but to show the common thread that runs through several of them – namely, the EMES Project (1996–1999); the PERSE Project (2001–2006); and the ICSEM Project (2011–2021) – and which materialised in some publications that have since become widely cited in the literature (Borzaga and Defourny, 2001; Defourny, 2001; Defourny and Nyssens, 2006; Defourny and Nyssens, 2010; Defourny and Nyssens, 2012; Defourny and Nyssens, 2017; Defourny et al , 2021; and the four ICSEM books, available in Open Access: Gaiger et al , 2019; Bidet and Defourny, 2019; and Defourny and Nyssens, 2021a, 2021b).…”

Purpose In 2022, the EMES Network celebrated its 20th anniversary. The purpose of this paper is to trace the intellectual path of social enterprise (SE) research that has unfolded through some of the major EMES research projects. Design/methodology/approach This journey is recounted through three major milestones: the emergence and development of the EMES approach; the identification of various SE schools of thought; the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project. Findings The first section digs into the roots of the EMES approach – an ideal-type which allowed researchers to explore an SE field that was then largely unknown. In a second stage, a reading grid was developed to identify the different SE conceptions, their convergences and their divergences. In a third step, the ICSEM Project, acknowledging the impossibility to provide a single, universal definition of SE, aimed to identify SE models across the world. Defourny and Nyssens developed an SE typology and made the hypothesis that it was neither country-specific nor even context-specific. Based on the EMES ideal-type (which constituted a particularly relevant tool to inform the diversity of SE models), data were collected on over 700 SEs worldwide; three major SE models were found in almost all the countries covered. Originality/value This contribution does not aim to summarise all the – numerous and fruitful – research projects carried out by EMES members, but to show the common thread that runs through several of them.

Social enterprises have the potential to address diverse issues, even when they fall off the radar of formal institutions e.g., by establishing partnerships that are new locally and nationally. The analysis offers a conceptual description of a model of social enterprise established by a regional self-government authority, that blends dual education and social economy and serves as an innovative agent of change. Case research was the approach used. The research revealed that the motivation behind the enterprise was social integration, increasing attractiveness of agriculture for young people and regional self-sufficiency. The partnership was recognized as the key element of the model design. The model brings social, economic and environmental change to employees and students but also to the whole environment. Such a model could be replicated and such collaboration could be put on the map of social enterprises.

Social enterprise and government interactions have become an increasingly prominent theme in the literature on social entrepreneurship, due in part to the pressures confronting the welfare state and the rise of precarious work. This analysis is motivated by the efforts of the government of South Korea to incubate social enterprises since 2007. The constant scaling of the South Korean government's monitored social enterprise certification scheme had led to the registration of approximately 3440 social enterprises as of May 2021. This study documents the interorganizational network behaviour of these enterprises relative to the public sector, corporate sector, and civil society and the social economy. A cluster analysis approach is utilized to analyse network data obtained from a self‐administered survey of 103 government‐certified social enterprises operating in South Korea. We find that a sizeable number of government‐certified social enterprises have diversified networks, as opposed to public sector‐centric networks, although such social enterprises are in the minority. This study references social innovation cluster theory to argue that the aforementioned scheme has attained a partial degree of success in facilitating the emergence of social enterprises with diversified networks.However, the majority remain quasi‐governmental implementers of government contracts and, generally, do not engage in networking.
