Abstract

Goal of the chapter: Profit enterprises have one main stakeholder. Social businesses have at least three: social investors, beneficiaries and their organizational stakeholders such as members, volunteers, employees and collaborators. They act in this triangle which leads to the question of this chapter: How to balance the three genuine accountability relations? Reading this chapter the reader learns about the concept of image, reputation, legitimacy and identity, how these concepts are interrelated in the context of social businesses’ accountability and how executives effectively work in the context of accountability.
