“…Social entrepreneurship scholars agree that in order to create social value social ventures may address a wide range of social issues including, but not limited to poverty alleviation, access to quality education, access to healthcare, unemployment among disadvantaged groups, workforce development, environmental conservation, food security, drug-related issues, and crime (e.g. Di Domenico, Haugh, and Tracey 2010;Nicholls 2006;Perrini, Vurro, and Costanzo 2010;Squazzoni 2009). …”

The main objective of social ventures is the creation of social value. However, these organizations must also generate and appropriate economic value to fund their social valuecreating activities. Mechanisms that enable the alignment of these seemingly contradicting goals are necessary. The authors propose that a participative pricing mechanism known as pay-whatyou-want (PWYW) is capable of aligning a venture's economic and social value creation goals. This mechanism allows customers to determine the price they are willing and able to pay. The authors explain that this mechanism enables social ventures to generate social value through their commercial activities by serving more beneficiaries in need, reducing the stigma of receiving help, allowing non-disadvantaged customers to show support for the social venture, and aligning commercial activities with the social mission, all while ensuring that sufficient economic value is captured to sustain operations.

“…According to social network theory, cooperation positively affects organizational performance (Burt, 1992): the more networking activities a social enterprise carries out, the better its performance will be (Squazzoni, 2009). In recent years, descriptive and qualitative research has analyzed networks of social enterprises in South Korea to test this claim.…”

Social enterprises, which have been dramatically increasing all over the world for several decades, are facing the challenge of how best to develop strategies to improve performance and achieve sustainable growth. In South Korea, the government has supported active networking among social enterprises as a tactic for overcoming insufficient material and human resources. However, it is unclear whether active networking activities among social enterprises are associated with higher performance. In this study, a network survey of certified social enterprises (n = 78) in Seoul, South Korea was conducted. Multivariate regression models examined whether degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality were associated with the economic and social performance of social enterprises after controlling for organizational factors. The results revealed that a social enterprise with higher degree centrality in the network of regular meetings achieved higher social and economic performance.

“…Sociopreneurship is a way of combining the ideas of social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship can be thought of as a type of business that tries to make a profit, especially one that tries to make money in a way that is good for society (Squazzoni, 2018). So, we can say that social entrepreneurship is a type of entrepreneurship that uses business ideas and innovations to help a community or group of people.…”

Studying social entrepreneurship and socio-entrepreneurship as a concept helps us better comprehend what they mean. After doing literature research of books and scientific publications, the data is gathered and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Profit is the primary goal of social entrepreneurship, which was born out of the United States' economic system. With this strategy, it splits its company activities into economic and social components. The economic success of social entrepreneurship is assessed by evaluating how exploitative and desire-based it uses resources. Socio-entrepreneurship, on the other hand, has its roots in the European economic system. Process and behaviour are its primary focus, with the goal of improving society in mind. Social progress is difficult to quantify, thus socio-entrepreneurship coordinates the efforts of individuals and organizations to make a positive impact on society as a whole. It considers resource consumption on a case-by-case basis. However, this study also covers the political, cultural and religious components of society. To better understand entrepreneurship in Indonesia, future research should look into these elements as well, so that the perspective can be broadened. Because this study is based on a theoretical framework, an empirical method is also recommended to verify this concept in a real-world environment using inferential statistics. Keywords: social and socio-entrepreneurship, literature survey, content analysis, goal and orientation of entrepreneurship, resource utilization .
