A B S T R A C T Objective:The aim of the article is to critically review the body of literature exploring the nature and various contexts of EO-firm performance relationship, as well as identify contemporary challenges of this stream of research. Research Design & Methods:The article is an overview of the most important articles of the last two decades of research devoted to EO-firm performance relationship, based on the amount of citation references provided by Ebsco scholar database. The review focuses on: (i) the performance indicators applied in research, (ii) sampling and time frame of the studies as well as (iii) moderating factors of this relationship. Findings: Despite huge progress made, the review reveals important issues that have been side-lined or neglected and remain to be challenged. Implications & Recommendations: This paper presents four major suggestions for a more inclusive, broader stream of research: (i) to take inspiration from stakeholder theory, (ii) to spread the research of EO-firm performance relationship across different entrepreneurship contexts, such as social, non-profit and institutional, adjusting scales and measures, (iii) to apply a more dynamic approach to EO-firm performance relationship, and (iv) to diversify the applied research methods. Contribution & Value Added:The article serves to broaden the scope of EO-firm performance relationship. The discussion presents significant potential contributions brought to EO domain by stakeholder theory. It issues a call to identify and pursue research questions that more effectively address contemporary challenges. Not only does it outline issues and methods worthy of greater attention in future study, but more importantly, leads to extending EO research beyond its current boundaries.

“…In the strict sense (i.e., as a self-contained concept in the entrepreneurship literature), SE is linked to non-profit, voluntary and governmental organisations that pursue social betterment (Austin and Wei-Skillern 2006;Nicholls 2006;Peredo and McLean 2006;Nga and Shamuganathan 2010;Urbano et al 2010;Morris et al 2011). Recently, however, authors have emphasised 'the emergence of hybrid entities or new forms of social enterprises that use both elements of the non-profit sector and the for-profit sector' (Urbano et al 2010, pp.…”

“…In spite of the different actors, contexts and mechanisms involved, social entrepreneurship has a strong social component Martí 2006, 2009). It creates social value, as its aim is to solve problems affecting society -environmental, social and economic challenges -through innovative strategies (Morris et al 2011;Rahdari et al 2016). Social entrepreneurs seek to transform society by targeting unjust and unsustainable systems and converting them into entirely sustainable ones (Martin and Osberg 2015;Rahdari et al 2015).…”

El arraigo local en proyectos energéticos comunitarios. Una perspectiva de emprendimiento social

An increasing number of community energy projects have emerged recently, reflecting diverse sociotechnical configurations in the energy sector. This article is based on an empirical study examining different types of community energy projects such as energy cooperatives, public service utilities and other entrepreneurially oriented initiatives across the European Union. Based on an in-depth analysis of three case studies, the article aims to introduce a social entrepreneurship perspective when discussing the relationship between local embeddedness and different forms of organisation and ownership in community energy. The results indicate that community energy projects can expand beyond the local scale without losing their collective and democratic form of functioning and ownership. Moreover, social movements can act as catalysts for this expansion beyond the local, in a quest for wider social transformation. Social entrepreneurship may provide a suitable analytical lens to avoid the 'local trap' when examining different forms of organisation and ownership in renewable energy, and further explore the question of scaling. KeywordsCommunity energy; Energy cooperatives; Public service utilities; Renewable energy; Social entrepreneurship; Social movements. resumenRecientemente, han surgido un número creciente de proyectos energéticos comunitarios, que reflejan diversas configuraciones socio-técnicas en el sector energético. Este artículo se basa en un estudio empírico que examina diferentes tipos de proyectos energéticos comunitarios como las cooperativas energéticas, las empresas de servicios públicos y otras iniciativas de orientación empresarial en toda la Unión Europea. Basado en un análisis en profundidad de tres estudios de caso, el artículo tiene como objetivo introducir una perspectiva de emprendimiento social cuando se discute la relación entre el arraigamiento local y los diferentes tipos de organización y propiedad en la energía comunitaria. Los resultados indican que los proyectos energéticos comunitarios pueden expandirse más allá de la escala local sin perder su forma colectiva y democrática de funcionamiento y propiedad. Además, los movimientos sociales pueden actuar como catalizadores de esta expansión más allá de lo local, en busca de una transformación social más amplia. El emprendimiento social puede proporcionar una lente analítica adecuada para evitar la "trampa local" al examinar diferentes formas de organización y propiedad en el sector de la energía renovable, mientras nos permite ahondar aún más en la cuestión de la expansión territorial de estos proyectos.
