Abstract: The objective of this study is to explore, understand and describe the network evolution process of social enterprises from a governance perspective. Studies have extensively investigated the development of networks in the 'commercial' entrepreneurship space. However, similar research on social enterprises, specifically from a governance perspective is still growing. We try to bridge this gap through an exploratory study of two social ventures in India, with different organisational structures. Based on the empirical findings, we present a series of propositions depicting the network characteristics of social enterprises, their governance structures and the dynamics between them.
