“…Because cases for the analysis were sampled from participants of capacity-building events for SONPOs in the process of developing for-profit activities, we were not able to access well-established social enterprises and cannot contribute to the debate about differences and similarities between these types of organizations (Moskovskaya et al 2017;Moskovskaya and Soboleva 2016). Earlier research on hybridity demonstrated that business logic eventually prevails when it contests the nonprofit logic, although they intertwine to create a continuous spectrum of values and activities rather than a binary opposition (Zhang and Swanson 2013).…”

“…Alongside small and medium-size social businesses, they are targeted by state centers for social sphere innovations which, since 2012, have spent 1.5 billion RUB on entrepreneurial social initiatives (Nikolaeva 2017). Because social entrepreneurship still lacks a clear legal definition (Moskovskaya et al 2017;Moskovskaya and Soboleva 2016), nonprofits often need to identify with or distinguish themselves from the practice of social entrepreneurship (Chuprova 2014), and bear the associated costs and risks. In this article, we attempt to answer following questions: How do Russian SONPOs balance market demands with statutory goals when introducing for-profit activities?…”

“…As mentioned above, SONPOs developing for-profit activities are sometimes conflated with social enterprises (Moskovskaya et al 2017) or small businesses (Kings and Kravchenko 2018).

Nonprofit organizations in Russia are introducing for-profit activities as a means of gaining autonomy from external donors, and as instruments of strategic planning and sustainable development. This study focuses on organizations that work with welfare provision and explores how they reconcile entrepreneurial activities with their social mission. More specifically, we interrogate how two institutional logics, business and nonprofit, are defined and reconciled in organizational identities, structures and hierarchies. Socially oriented nonprofits define their mission through service to beneficiaries, through personal and professional dedication to beneficiaries' well-being, and through making an impact on public policies and the society at large. They mimic a business approach in strategic planning and meticulous reporting, but subordinate profit-seeking to social mission by integrating entrepreneurial activities into already existing organizational structures, or by separating them into independent entities.

“…Some innovative ideas have also been examined regarding "social enterprise" and "social entrepreneurship". Contrary to an existing controversy about the role of CSR programs, scholars have come to an agreement that 'social entrepreneurship' and so-called 'social enterprises' reveal long-term social goals and commitments, and introduce innovative solutions to the social and environmental issues threatening local communities (Estrin et al, 2016;Klimova et al, 2015;Moskovskaya et al, 2017). Such enterprises focus on social innovation, social networks development, and the implementation of social projects (Klimova et al, 2015).…”
