A ladder to nowhere? A research agenda for funding social enterprise

J. Howard Kucher

Chapter 2 in A Research Agenda for Social Finance, 2021, pp 37-53 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The burgeoning study of social entrepreneurship has fostered substantial inquiry into means and methods for growing a social enterprise (Lumpkin & Bacq, 2019; Santos, Pache, & Birkholz, 2015; Wry & York, 2017), with a growing preference for a hybrid entity as the common construct for these ventures (Battilana & Dorado, 2010; Rawhouser, Cummings, & Crane, 2015). Responding to numerous calls for additional exploration of the financing of Social Enterprise (Austin, Stevenson, & Wei-Skillern, 2006; Lyons & Kickul, 2013; Nicholls, 2010), this paper identifies some critical gaps in the literature and suggests some areas for further exploration that may be useful to developing a more structured and predictable process for funding these hybrid entities.
