Legal aspect of social entrepreneurship

The article discusses the main issues of definition of social entrepreneurship, both from economic and legal point of view. Since Russian legislature is only at the beginning of the way to create legal framework for activities, legislation on social entrepreneurship seems fragmentary and inconsistent. All of that adversely affects development of social entrepreneurship. Official city statistics (Nizhnevartovsk) show that less than a third of all entrepreneurs are interested in this type of activity; entrepreneurs who already have business in the field of social entrepreneurship mostly do not plan to expand current activities in this area. Analysis can contribute to creation of developed socio-economic relations in Russia. It can be achieved by building effective relations between social entrepreneurs and beneficiaries on the one hand, and also between social entrepreneurs and the state on the other.

PSYCHOHYGIENIC ASPECTS OF THE ACTIVITY IN ENTREPRENEURS

Introduction. The paper presents the authors’ view on the psychohygiene of the activity in entrepreneurs under which, on the one hand, the assessment of the business environment, on the other one - psycho-prevention and psycho-correction measures to preserve the mental health of the subjects engaged in business are understood. These conditions included economic, psychological, social aspects of entrepreneurship, which tend to cumulate, lead to a blockade of the ability and opportunities for self-development of the individual and subsequently to the emotional burnout syndrome of entrepreneurs. The peculiarities of psycho-correction work and the methods of preventing the emotional burnout syndrome were revealed. Results and their discussion. Among those who appealed for counseling, 67.9% of the entrepreneurs felt psychoemotional, physical and intellectual overloads. The starting mechanism for the formation of preneurotic sub-depressive states included maladaptation in relation to the professional role performed. However, the development of the emotional burnout syndrome is a reversible process, which, in turn, allows being successfully leveled using psychotherapy and psycho-correction. Conclusion. In the development of psycho-prevention and psycho-correction measures to preserve the mental health of the subjects engaged in business, the following ones are fundamental: the work with the entrepreneur to understand his emotional problem, identifying the source of stress from the position of self-organization, training the entrepreneur to grade stress, transforming the problems in favor of his own development. Primary psycho-prevention helps to predict the impact of negative factors on the psyche of entrepreneurs, the secondary one forms the correct perception of negative circumstances and the ability to cope with stress. Time management, the correct organization of the workplace, knowledge of modern technologies enhances the psycho-correction effect.

Social Aspects of Entrepreneurship

The article is devoted to the study of the social value of business activity and the possibility of its consolidation in the legislation. The author notes the positive and negative social consequences of entrepreneurs' activities; the factors influencing the way entrepreneurs cooperate with the society are determined. The importance of social responsibility of an entrepreneur for the economy, society and the state is examined as an internal factor. The author notes that social responsibility is manifested, in particular, in business entities making decisions to sell their goods to pensioners with discounts during certain working hours, service businesses providing services to pensioners and students at lower tariffs than they would otherwise provide to other individuals in similar cases. Legal implementation of social responsibility of the entrepreneur is enshrined in local normative acts, namely, orders, ordinances, regulations, and should be treated as one of the grounds for attributing entrepreneurs to the participants of social entrepreneurship.

Linking social entrepreneurship and innovation through the lens of the value co-creation process

Purpose of the paper: In the new Era of sustainability, a sub-discipline within the field of entrepreneurship, called social entrepreneurship (SE), emerged as a global phenomenon in the academic literature (Johnson, 2000; Certo and Miller, 2008; Yeoh, 2012). This paper aims to offer a new perspective in this field of studies with an analysis of the links between SE and innovation adopting the lens of the value co-creation process. Methodology: A brief literature review has been carried out to better understand how SE has developed over time. Hence, an examination of the synergies between SE and innovation has been carried out drawing from the Service-Dominant Logic (S-D) perspective (Vargo and Lusch, 2004, 2008a; Gummesson et al., 2010) and the Network Theory (Gummesson, 2007). Findings: The development of a conceptual framework is useful to demonstrate that SE, innovation (I) and social innovation (SI) are positively related to each other and a combination of the two is necessary in the process of value co-creation. Research limitations: This paper presents the typical limitations of the deductive approach based on literature review. For a deeper understanding of value co-creation management, a broader theoretical, as well as empirical, research is necessary. Practical implications: Hence, the main practical implication of this paper is the identification of the missing link between SE and value co-creation within the mainstream entrepreneurship discourse. Originality of the paper: The study could be considered a first step in a stream of research on different aspects of social entrepreneurship which are yet unexplored.

The political possibilities of art and fashion based social enterprise

Social enterprise is a growing force in the Australian economy, with great potential for local job-creation and stimulating new entrepreneurship across the service, manufacturing and retail industries. However, the sector also has a ‘dark side’ – whereby its social welfare agendas are sidelined in favour of profit-driven motives, the outsourcing of government services and perpetuation of inequalities between those that manage and those that benefit from the enterprises. In this light, it is perhaps not surprising that social enterprise literature has emerged predominantly from the field of business management, resulting in an over-representation of perspectives that privilege the economic, and technocratic, aspects of social entrepreneurship. This is particularly problematic in the context of the arts, which often challenge, transform and exceed conventional understandings of social value. This paper explores the potential role of art- and fashion-based social enterprises in contributing to sustainable community development while also activating positions of critique and political engagement from inside the mechanisms of contemporary capitalism.

Social Entrepreneurs: Their Motivations, Challenges and Contribution

Social entrepreneurs are often seen as social workers and hence their contribution as entrepreneurs is highly underestimated and unacknowledged. For generations people have been practicing social entrepreneurship but its advent as a topic of research by academicians is quite recent. The present paper is an attempt to consolidate the various aspects of social entrepreneurship with special focus on the motivations and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs through an extensive review of literature. The study finds that social entrepreneurs are motivated by compassion rather than profits. Also financial sustainability is often a problem faced by them. They work in the non-profit sector which is driven by a strong reliance on charity, philanthropy and government subsidy.

Entrepreneurial Motivation and Social Enterprises: An Empirical Analysis on Founders of Social Ventures in Bangladesh

Success of market based entrepreneurial projects embedded with a social mission contributed to growing interest to social entrepreneurship in existing entrepreneurship literature. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the widely accepted motivational factors influencing entrepreneurial process have similar influence on social entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Based on the seminal work of Shane et al. (2003) on entrepreneurial motivation, a survey was conducted among the social entrepreneurs in Bangladesh and collected data was analyzed. A regression analysis shows that some of widely accepted factors have significant influence while others have less or non-significant influence on Bangladeshi social entrepreneurs. This empirical paper contributes to better understanding of behavioral aspect of social entrepreneurship in Bangladesh where a high number of world's leading social ventures were formed and expanded world-wide.

Social Entrepreneurship and Civic Engagement

This is an extraordinary time of change and opportunity in higher education with a special focus on civic engagement. Approximately twelve years ago, Thomas Ehrlich’s published his call to action for universities and colleges (Ehrlich, 2000), following several key reports on civic responsibility. He defines civic engagement as “working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the knowledge, skills, values, and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and nonpolitical processes” (Ehrlich, 2000, Preface, Page vi). Further, he argues that “a morally and civically responsible individual recognizes himself or herself as a member of a larger social fabric and therefore? willing to see the moral and civic dimensions of issues, to make and justify informed moral and civic judgments, and to take action when appropriate” (Ehrlich, 2000, Introduction, page xxvi). (Compare this with the writing of Alderson, 2011 who talks about the moral aspects of social entrepreneurship.)

Toward A Multidimensional Model Of Social Entrepreneurship: Definitions, Clarifications, And Theoretical Perspectives

A number of significant research projects have explored various aspects of social entrepreneurship, some demonstrating that, given an appropriate level of focus, social entrepreneurship is a viable area for research that can be studied and explored like its counterpart and predecessor, general entrepreneurship. This paper offers a true definition of social entrepreneurship by relating it to three key measures from general entrepreneurship: human capital, network structure, and financial capital. The current status of social entrepreneurship is also examined and summarized.

Social Entrepreneurship 2020: Delivering on Expectations (HSG 2010)

Social entrepreneurship is an important driver of global change. There is a sense that it might be the key ingredient to a new social contract for the 21st century. Though referred to extensively as a concept, there is no single definition of the subject. Defined as finding ways to combine existing resources in novel ways that yield added social value, social entrepreneurship is a perennial phenomenon: throughout human history, there have been people who have found innovative ways to fulfill social needs. As understood today, social entrepreneurs typically use market mechanisms to deliver a good or a service in a highly effective fashion to a marginalized or poor population that would not have the same level of access to the good or service otherwise. Social entrepreneurial ideas and ambitions are now present in many areas, including companies who do not just look for marketable corporate social responsibility, but authentic engagement, philanthropists who want catalytic philanthropy, or governments who promote social entrepreneurship directly.As a concept, social entrepreneurship began to be theorized in the 1980s, based on the work of Bill Drayton, the founder of the pioneering institution of social entrepreneurship, Ashoka. Social entrepreneurship was widely discussed in the media in the 1990s for the first time. Subsequently, an increasing number of individuals and organizations began to devote their attention to elaborating some aspect of social entrepreneurship. In 2010, there were several thousand social entrepreneurs organized in global networks, and many more individuals and organizations who referred to themselves as social entrepreneurs or social enterprises.Given the field’s progress and the increasing public attention paid to social entrepreneurship, it is key to accelerate impact growth of existing social entrepreneurs, and find new ways of drawing additional talent into the equation. There are both many successes to learn from and many construction sites. This course asks pragmatically what we can do make sure social entrepreneurship delivers on our implicit expectations.

The MicroConsignment Model Reconsidered: Invention-Led Development by Shifting Risk, Transferring Knowledge, and Scaling Capabilities (Innovations Case Discussion: The MicroConsignment Model)

an emerging definition: “Innovative and effective activities that focus strategically on resolving social market failures and creating opportunities to add social value systematically by using a range of organizational formats to maximize social impact and bring about change.” This definition acknowledges three key aspects of social entrepreneurship: an innovative element, a primary focus on the creation of social value, and a diverse set of approaches that employ creativity to deliver social value. Thus it paves the way for a greater understanding of “invention-led development,” which, according to the Lemelson Foundation, focuses on how new ideas, products, or services can be converted to widely accessible or adopted forms in the creation of social value. When the language of invention-led development is used, it conjures up images of novel products and services used in development activities. On the product side, for example, a treadle pump—such as those designed by KickStart— offers significant advantages over other alternatives in improving irrigation for subsistence farmers in Africa. Similarly, on the service side, the creation of microfinance by organizations such as Grameen Bank makes credit available to populations that previously had been denied such access.

Social Entrepreneurship: Perspectives on an Academic Discipline

The concept of social entrepreneurship has become increasingly popular in the discourse of academic departments. This paper explores several aspects of social entrepreneurship and the questions that arise when attempting to place the field within one discipline. Connections are made to the potential contribution of a transdisciplinary approach to the scholarly inquiry of social entrepreneurship. It concludes by suggesting that transdisciplinarity may result in greater accuracy in the data collected. [Article copies available for a fee from The Transformative Studies Institute.
