Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has generally been accepted as an “entrepreneurial activity with an embedded social purpose” (Austin et al., 2006). However, when we look at the construct in detail, different scholars define it in various ways (Dacin et al., 2010; Cukier et al., 2011). As presented by Dees (2001) earlier on, some think social entrepreneurship refers to all non-profit organizations while some think it is exclusive to non-profits that attempt establishing for-profit or income-generating ventures. Others may also refer to businesses, for-profit organizations, which are also interested in pursuing their social responsibilities.
