Abstract: Abstract Social enterprises (SE) have developed various innovative business models to accomplish both social and business values for years. Not few SE’s persons have observed some critical and urgent social issues as well as human problems, but just few SE’s social media or crowdsourcing services can be provided people an efficient way to interact for these social problems. Thus, the research is to solve the need which is an integrative platform of social media and crowdsourcing service to support business innovation of social enterprise. Such a SE-specific crowdsourcing social network service (SNS) facilitate people can obtain the shared resources to further achieve the projects (i.e, volunteer activities) or even start up an innovative SE (i.e., lumni, 20%+, The Big Issue). In order to achieve SE’s charitable objective, this research is to propose and design an integration of social network and crowdsourcing service – HIVE that can provide people to post ideas, share resources, or even attend the crowdsourcing projects by the different resources. Thus, HIVE can give users to seek business opportunities, collect, connect, and users’ data analysis for social and human resources. HIVE even can provide several ways to facilitate human and resource corporations to support SE’s business innovation based on six pre-defined areas of SE and deal with the critical matching process.
