Abstract

Today it is more visible and emphasized that the process of globalization and technological revolution has changed economic, cultural and social life. Especially during the last decades social issues and problems have increased. In that case, social entrepreneurs and their activity are those who can make a difference and create a social value in economy by acting untraditionally. The object of the paper is social entrepreneurship. The research question of the research paper is how social entrepreneurship is developing in Lithuanian enterprises in changing and dynamic business environment. The positive effect of social entrepreneurship is not arguable and its importance is growing in economy overall. The EU has a lot of policy documents and instruments for promoting and fostering social entrepreneurship as future engine of economy. The research revealed that there are some problems with integrating social entrepreneurship in practical activity in Lithuania: the lack of good practice examples and initiatives, poor public and government support, lack of cooperation between business and science, etc. The experts are deeply convinced that sociability in business will grow and over time the opinion about such area of business will change in a positive way.
