Chapter 10 in Social Entrepreneurship, 2006, pp 142-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Literature on social entrepreneurship (SE) embraces an exceedingly broad range of topics. It covers individual, organizational, as well as interorganizational level phenomena (Boschee, 1995; Bornstein, 1996; Leadbeater, 1997; Brinckerhoff, 2000; Dees, Emerson and Economy, 2001a; Drayton, 2002; Johnson, 2002; Emerson, 2003; Mair and Martí, 2004). This paper focuses on the organizational level phenomenon of social enterprises. However, even this term leaves ample room for ambiguity.
