“…The marketing conception in social enterprises is complex because it needs to align the marketing capabilities with social mission statements, obtain economic independence, and generate the revenue necessary to survive and grow [5,39,40]. Similar to economic oriented enterprises, social enterprises have to combine and manage their base of valuable resources and capabilities, adapt organizational structures, and dynamically react to challenging situations to optimize their performance and achieve a competitive advantage [5,41].…”

Social enterprises need to develop processes that create social value to solve social problems. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of marketing capability on social innovation and its effect on social and economic value creation, while controlling for firm size among social enterprises in Mexico. An explanatory and cross-sectional design was used to test the hypotheses: 118 social business managers were interviewed and structural equation modeling was used to test our research hypotheses. The results supported our proposition that marketing capability influenced social innovation, which then had a positive influence on social, though not on economic value creation. An indirect effect from marketing capability to social value was also found. This study validated the relevance of defining and entailing marketing capabilities with social innovation strategies and their effect on the social value of social enterprises. This paper contributes to a better understanding of marketing capability and its effects on social innovation in social enterprises. In addition, it shows social innovation to be a robust predictor of social value, with important implications for social and economic sustainability.

“…The dual purpose or value of social enterprise is discussed to verify the singularity of social enterprise [46,48]. The performance of social enterprise is evaluated by the holistic framework including input, organizational capacity, outputs, outcomes, and public value accomplishment [49,50] or by the financial framework such as the social return on investment [51,52] and operating cost [53]. In relation to social innovation, the process to solve the social problems [54,55], the role of innovation to social impact [56], internal implementation factors of social innovation [57,58], and externally environmental factors [59] are discussed.…”

This study aims to present an integrated theoretical framework of sustainable local and regional development with an emphasis on social economy theory. The theoretical literature on social economy and sustainable local and regional development are reviewed and integrated focusing on the obstacles of sustainability and the function of social economy in local and regional development. Conflict and competition among sustainability values necessitates agreement and cooperation among those who embrace such values. Social enterprises are the core components of a social economy that reflects local and regional needs and pursues complex goals. In the social innovation process, social enterprises collaborate with various stakeholders regarding their business and social goals. Social enterprises have positive effects that influence local and regional development by satisfying local and regional needs, creating jobs in the community, developing relational assets in business processes, and restoring community solidarity. In social economy theory, social enterprises can facilitate sustainable local and regional development by including relational assets which embody social capital in social innovation processes. In the context of local and regional development, relational assets are important reinforcements of institutional capabilities, networks, and community or regional cooperation. Although social enterprises are not the dominant resources in traditional local and regional development, they can solve problems related to collective actions by networking and applying social norms to the situation.

“…Regarding the lack of skills in this field, entrepreneurship programs were recently introduced by Saudi universities, which could develop students' risk taking and innovation in order for them to become entrepreneurs (Spencer et al, 2016). It can be considered a step towards entrepreneurship awareness, to introduce the concept to society and to encourage acceptance of independent projects.…”

In this research we aim to identify factors which can contribute to the development of female entrepreneurship. We enumerate these factors in order to stimulate this phenomenon due to its importance for economic development and social development. After identifying these determinants, we list each according to its relative importance and create a matrix, which shows their interdependence at each level of the development of the entrepreneurial process. A quantitative approach was adopted to identify and define these determinants. Our research focused on female entrepreneurial careers in Saudi Arabia. An entrepreneurial career is evaluated as successful if it establishes an entrepreneurial project, because our objective is to motivate women to adopt not only an entrepreneurial intention, but an actual entrepreneurial career. The questionnaire used here was administered to 103 women who had already started an entrepreneurial career. The results show that individual factors are important, but environment factors are more important, especially political factors. The most important contribution of this study is the matrix it defines, in which every determinant can be used differently based on the different steps in the entrepreneurial process. This can provide policy makers with a tool according to which they can detect the key factors of success.
