“…The notion of embeddedness has been used to explain the importance of other forms of context than the social (Welter 2011;Welter, Baker, and Wirsching 2019). Institutional and spatial contexts can also serve as a source of information, resources and legitimacy, if the entrepreneur is embedded in multiple such contexts (Kloosterman 2010;Kloosterman, Van Der Leun, and Rath 1999;Müller and Korsgaard 2018;Ram, Jones, and Villares-Varela 2017;Vannebo and Grande 2018). A prominent example of this kind of mechanism is the important research on mixed embeddedness, where studies have found that immigrant entrepreneurs are able to leverage their embeddedness in both the origin and destination contexts.…”

Contemporary research has demonstrated that entrepreneurship is a fundamentally contextualized phenomenon and unfolds differently in different contexts. Despite the extensive coverage of the importance of embeddedness for entrepreneurial activities, the research predominantly relies on somewhat static, single layered, and binary notions of embeddedness. We argue that there is a strong need for studies that problematize embeddedness and the relationship between entrepreneur and context. This call for papers, thus invites contributions that explore embeddedness as dynamic, processual and multi-layered, as well as elaborate on the paradoxes of embeddedness?

“…Further theories represented in the sample were predominantly theories from sociology, such as social capital (Jenner and Oprescu, 2016), Bourdieu's theory of field (Pret and Carter, 2017), embeddedness (Vannebo and Grande, 2018), social exchange theory (Di Domenico et al. , 2009), identity theory (Smith et al.…”

“…, 2016; Heinze et al. , 2016; Jenner and Oprescu, 2016; Pret and Carter, 2017; Vannebo and Grande, 2018). SEOs are thus viewed as being embedded in the community and as using networks as a means of facilitating collaborative activities both within the sector and externally via the public sector, businesses, corporations and communities (Jenner and Oprescu, 2016).…”

“…Finally, little attention has been paid to the role of context-specific factors such as institutional conditions, policies and regulations (e.g. Jenner and Oprescu, 2016; Muñoz, 2009; Smeets, 2017; Vannebo and Grande, 2018). For example, Smeets (2017) finds that societal developments such as the changing roles of different organisations were important in catalysing collaboration and created a supportive environment for developing a social impact bond (SIB) collaborative model in the Netherlands.…”

PurposeThe aim of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to map out the current state of the research on collaboration in the context of social entrepreneurship organisations (SEOs), synthesise this line of research and advance a research agenda.Design/methodology/approachA SLR of 40 scientific articles found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases built the foundation for an analysis of the state-of-the-art of the research addressing the interplay of SEOs and collaboration. This area of research has been very recent since the selected articles have been published since 2005 and more than half of which have appeared since 2017.FindingsThe findings suggest that collaboration is increasingly perceived as a crucial entrepreneurial activity and process for SEOs. The results indicate that collaboration is a vibrant and rapidly growing line of research which spans different fields of study, contexts, varied theoretical perspectives and multiple units of analysis. Furthermore, a total of five key research themes are identified pertaining to collaboration in the context of SEOs, such as motivations and strategies of collaboration, its antecedents, the interplay of institutional logics and tensions arising in collaboration, the impact of collaboration on the mission of SEOs and collaborative processes and practices.Originality/valueTo lend structure to this fragmented field of inquiry, this study systematically reviews and synthesises research on collaboration in the context of SEOs. In doing so, the study reveals that this line of research is under-researched, offering a significant scope for further scrutiny.

“…Thus, social enterprises often depend on institutional partnerships for help (i.e. public-private partnership), state and governmental support, collaboration with key public actors to build and maintain their ventures (Vannebo & Grande, 2018). However, those social enterprises withprofound social embedment in smaller peripheral localities may gain trust and credibility of the local community to mobilize critical resources and take over local government in becoming change agents for the community development (Von Friedrichs & Wahlberg, 2016).…”

This article investigates the concepts and issues of social enterprise, social entrepreneurship, their sustainability and strategic dimension. Regarding the current two contradictory forms of entrepreneurship (commercial and social entrepreneurship) in terms of their nature, motivation, purpose and orientation toward sustainable development, this research shows that both of them could to stay in an alliance to successfully bridge social and commercial capital for corporate sustainable development and social sustainable development. However, the article revealed that in contrast to the commercial entrepreneurship, currently, social entrepreneurship, due to higher level of sophistication, lacks and needs more strategic approach and understanding as well as its full reflection not only in theoretical debates but also in the business reality. This way, enterprises and society could benefit from it in terms of supporting overall sustainable development in rural areas of Vietnam. Finally, the article proposed some feasible solutions to enhance ABOUT THE AUTHOR
