A chapter in Entrepreneurship in the Fourth Sector, 2021, pp 99-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Our society faces such complex challenges that, more and more, it is necessary to implement new business models aimed at achieving social objectives while minimizing environmental consequences, without neglecting profit. A social, economic, and ecological balance is possible through the hybrid companies, promoted from social entrepreneurship, framed within the so-called fourth sector. These hybrid structures require people with particular characteristics and values, which invites us to wonder if the generation recently incorporated into the workplace, Generation Y, or the one that will soon join, Generation Z, will opt for this business model. This chapter shows generations’ characteristics to glimpse whether they fit the type of person that these new formulas of social entrepreneurship require. Even though there is still no evidence enough for a conclusive answer, given that the investigations’ results seem to be influenced by the samples’ origins, certain clues suggest a hopeful future.
