Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has become a global phenomenon that employs innovative approaches to addressing social issues with the aim to improve benefits for society. Academic interest in the topic has mainly focused on practitioner events and teaching, and it is only recently that social entrepreneurship has become subject to rigorous academic analysis. The rise of social entrepreneurship as a topic of interest is related to an increasing societal and political consensus about the fact that organizations need to address social issues, questioning the narrow focus on profit maximization that has traditionally been put forward by economists (Margolis and Walsh, 2003). This trend has put social responsibility of business or ‘triple bottom line’ objectives (people, profit and planet) as one of the priorities at different levels of policy-making.
