Abstract

Rejecting the idea that social entrepreneurs are intrinsically innovative, this article explores how the formulation of the social purpose can be a lever for radical innovation. Through a longitudinal study of an SME specialized in the treatment of malnutrition, it shows the challenge for the company to regularly renew its mission in order to involve relevant partners and stimulate exploration of new conceptual paths. Formulating a common and generative social purpose thus appears to be a condition for radical social innovation.
