Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to provide a modest insight into the determinants of social entrepreneurship. To that end, the chapter summarizes the results of the little research that has been done to date on the determinants of social entrepreneurship. Due to the limited number of determinants that have been investigated, they are simply categorized as individual and environmental determinants. The main criterion for selecting the determinants of this chapter has been the existence of at least one empirically based argument as to the effect of each determinant. This study demonstrates the inapplicability of conventional entrepreneurship policies if the aim is to stimulate social entrepreneurship, for its principal finding is that for the same determinants, the effect on social entrepreneurship might be different or even the opposite to the effect they might have on commercial entrepreneurship.
