Chapter 4 in Social Entrepreneurship Business Models, 2010, pp 75-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Public goods theory provides insights regarding the economic setting in which social entrepreneurial organizations operate, and permits the identification of social entrepreneurial organizations’ roles in public goods provision at the macroeconomic level. In this chapter, the fundamentals of public goods theory are first described, then, based on these insights, the role of social entrepreneurial organizations and the challenges linked to their roles are identified.
