Развитие социального предпринимательства: зарубежный опыт и Российские тенденции

Abstract

The article considers the high variability of the international social-entrepreneurship conceptual framework and reviews the experience of social entrepreneurship development as conditioned by the modern economic environment (case study 1: America; case study 2: Poland). The article sets Great Britain as an example of a state which demonstrates exemplary practice in social entrepreneurship and legal support for social entrepreneurship as a tertiary sector of economy. The authors provide supporting data, such as the most remarkable examples of social entrepreneurship practices in the focus-countries. The authors also identify Russian social entrepreneurship development trends, which they see as having shown an increasingly upward direction locally over the past few years.
