“…We then further classified these 39 strategies into six meta-SE strategies. Our findings extend and enrich prior exemplary studies on the various models of social activism and change [23,24,58], empowerment [3,25] and SE [22,26] by introducing four new and important meta-SE strategies that have been overlooked in prior research: system reform, physical capital development, evidence-based practices, and prototyping.…”

Despite the burgeoning research on social entrepreneurship (SE), SE strategies remain poorly understood. Drawing on extant research on the social activism and social change, empowerment and SE models, we explore, classify and validate the strategies used by 2,334 social entrepreneurs affiliated with the world's largest SE support organization, Ashoka. The results of the topic modeling of the social entrepreneurs' strategy profiles reveal that they employed a total of 39 change-making strategies that vary across resources (material versus symbolic strategies), specificity (general versus specific strategies), and mode of participation (mass versus elite participation strategies); they also vary across fields of practice and time. Finally, we identify six meta-SE strategies-a reduction from the 39 strategies-and identify four new meta-SE strategies (i.e., system reform, physical capital development, evidence-based practices, and prototyping) that have been overlooked in prior SE research. Our findings extend and deepen the research into SE strategies and offer a comprehensive model of SE strategies that advances theory, practice and policy making.

“…In several occasions, this revenue supports self-sufficiency and long-term financial autonomy of organizations involved in charitable activities (Mair and Marti, 2006).

“…Bull [9] developed a balanced score card to analyze the performance of SEs. Kerlin [10] compared concepts and activities of SEs across seven regions and countries to provide practical implications for the development of such enterprises. However, although one of SEs' main characteristics is to create social values through innovative products, the value creation mechanism of SEs has not yet been uncovered.…”

A variety of social enterprises (SEs) have recently emerged in many different countries in an effort to resolve diverse social problems. However, the value creation mechanism of SEs has not yet been disclosed. The purpose of this study is to reveal the value creation mechanism of SEs in manufacturing industry. To do so, we verify the role of social entrepreneurship and examine the effects of product innovation attributes and social capital on social value creation and financial performance by using structural equation modelling. Then, we conduct interviews with six experts in SE fields. According to the results of empirical study, the social entrepreneurship works as an antecedent of product innovation and social capital in SEs and the degrees of products' simplicity, usability and standardization positively affect the social value creation of SEs. In addition, the social value creation works as a complete mediator between the product innovation of SEs and their financial performance. The interviews suggest policy implications for successful social value creation and sustainability of SEs. This research contributes towards further studies on innovation of SEs and provides social entrepreneurs with guidelines in planning their innovation strategy or developing their products.
