Abstract

In the last decade the concepts of social entrepreneurship and social innovation have received increasing attention from both the academic and professional communities as promising tools that can inspire socially committed individuals to act in response to long-standing issues that affect humanity around the globe (e.g. Dees, 1998; Austin et al., 2006; Nicholls, 2006; Phills et al., 2008). The traditional aid and welfare models — whereby the government plays the role of provider of basic services to populations in need — have failed in the context of global, social and environmental problems such as the HIV pandemic, extreme poverty, rising inequality and global warming, especially in less developed regions like Eastern Asia and Africa (Prahalad, 2004; Certo and Miller, 2008; Moyo, 2009).
