Socio-political and Structural Aspects of the Concept of Social Entrepreneurship: The Case of Serbia

The focus of this research are the ways of conceptualizing the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship, which in transitional and developed capitalist societies alike, rely on cognitive models shaped by divergent cultural and socio-political contexts. To be more specific, these cognitive models emerge from different theoretical concepts of social entrepreneurship, as well as from contextually different ways of combining the invariant, structural elements of the concept, both of which are dialectically positioned within the neoliberal capitalism ideology discourse. Within the interaction among the elements constituting the structure of the concept of social entrepreneurship (such as social innovation, civic collectivism, an employment of members of marginalized social groups) and the overall neoliberal ideology discourse, which on its own behalf, operates in accordance with certain logical rules as any other discursive formation does, numerous contradictions and paradoxes emerge. The first chapter of this study critically examines the role of social entrepreneurship within the neoliberal capitalism framework through a comparative analysis with philanthropic endeavors and commercial (traditional, profit-oriented) entrepreneurship, as well as by comparing the diverse ways in which this phenomenon is defined in various socio-political contexts. The process of establishing the social entrepreneurship sector in Serbia, initiated in the post-2008 period reached its normative conclusion with the enactment of a unified law regulating this entrepreneurial activity in 2022. However, it remains incomplete both in terms of the cultural conceptualization of the phenomenon and its practical implementation perspective. This assumption is further examined in the second chapter of this paper in relation to the ideas regarding the social and political cultural heritage legacy, constructed by both policy makers and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in the social protection system which, on their behalf, during the specified period assume the role of social entrepreneurship promoters and emerge as primary contributors to its development. In the third chapter of this study, an exploration of the conditions and operationalization possibilities of key elements within the social entrepreneurship concept is undertaken. This analysis is illustrated through the services provided to the elderly citizens, which provides a framework for developing the thesis on the incomplete process of establishing the social entrepreneurship sector. Subsequently, the fourth and concluding chapter contextualizes these findings within the processes of constructing social issues pertaining aging and unemployment. In addition to drawing the attention to the distinct characteristics and the potential of social entrepreneurship, this research seeks to initiate a discussion focused on exploring possibilities of overcoming the predominantly constraining conditions and factors that influence the further development of this type of entrepreneurial activity within the transitional Serbian society.

ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIALLY ORIENTED ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The most pressing task of modern society is to ensure sustainable development based on inclusive economic growth. In this regard, the importance of social and socially oriented entrepreneurship in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is increasing. Scientific research discusses various aspects of the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship. The least developed in the applied aspect is the issue of the effectiveness of social entrepreneurship and its assessment. The purpose of the study is to determine the conceptual foundations of the ecosystem approach to assessing the effectiveness of socially oriented entrepreneurship to improve the sustainability of the socio-economic development of regions.The methods include bibliographic analysis, modeling and statistical analysis. Bibliographic analysis revealed the need to distinguish between external and internal efficiency of social entrepreneurship. Modeling allows this to be implemented based on the ecosystem approach. Statistical analysis revealed that social entrepreneurship develops in rural areas much more slowly than in cities. Such imbalance cannot contribute to sustainable growth of regions in Kazakhstan.The results include literature analysis and identification of current research areas in the field of social entrepreneurship effectiveness assessment. The need to develop a social entrepreneurship ecosystem at the regional level is substantiated. The structure of the regional ecosystem as a complex institutional system is developed. The role of the state in the formation of this ecosystem is characterized. The types of ecosystem resources that determine internal efficiency are substantiated. The definition of the effec-tiveness of socially oriented entrepreneurship is formulated. An algorithm for assessing the effectiveness of socially oriented entrepreneurship has been developed The ecosystem approach allows classifying social entrepreneurship into non-profit and commercial, taking into account not only external but also internal parameters, such as inclusiveness, density of connections and synergy. A statistical analysis of social entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan in the regional context is carried out.The findings highlight the need to develop socially oriented entrepreneurship as a key element of an inclusive economy for sustainable socio-economic development of regions. When developing public policy aimed at achieving sustainable development goals, one should rely on the concept of social en-trepreneurship and its ecosystem, as well as on assessing its effectiveness.
