Abstract: Abstract Using the theoretical lens of positive social entrepreneurship and social capital, this field-based research aims to identify the key characteristics of localisation and understand value creation by social entrepreneurship. In this multiple-case study research, rich qualitative data is collected from by using open-ended semi-structured interviews with twenty-six women-owned micro social enterprises. Based on the findings, the study has formulated propositions and a conceptual framework of localisation of social entrepreneurship which may serve as guidelines for future empirical research using larger samples. The research contributes at the intersection of literatures on social entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship, and social enterprises. The findings of the study have implications for policy makers and practitioners advancing social entrepreneurship.
