Chapter Chapter 2 in Impact Investing, 2023, pp 13-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter looks at the underlying basics. There are different forms to address societal challenges but social entrepreneurship is the most promising form as it combines social and entrepreneurial thinking. This chapter defines social entrepreneurship and discusses the available definitions. It also differentiates social entrepreneurship from other forms of providing social services and also analyzes different scaling strategies. Those social enterprises can use different social business model innovations and six different strategies are discussed to provide some insights.
