From our analysis of the literature, we found that effective leadership, business competitiveness, and collaborative networks are elements that are relevant to South Korea's context and can lead to findings that may inform both practitioners and academics.…”

“…While in countries in Asia such as South Korea and Hong Kong, the social economy operates much more like a new mechanism for financing social activities (Campbell & Cho, 2014; H. J. Lee, 2019;Park & Um, 2010). What various social economy models in different countries have in common is that SEOs are promoted as a strategic tool to correct socioeconomic and regional inequalities and imbalances (Hahn, 2014;Park & Um, 2010).…”

“…The common denominators in the conceptualization of SEOs and their activities are about pursuing dual (economic and social) missions in their business strategies (Park & Um, 2010;Powell et al, 2019) -the SEOs' profit is supposed to be directed to finance social activities. With their dual/double bottom line, SEOs follow an evolving business model of bridging the divide between social responsibility and profit margin.…”

“…However, relatively few cases of self-sufficiency have been reported. Problems such as the lack of appropriate business models and insufficient organizational capacity create great challenges for SEOs in the country (Choi & Lee, 2015;Park & Um, 2010), although they try to diversify funding streams to make their organizations self-sustaining.…”

Social economy organizations (SEOs), designed to do good for society, have been attracting significant attention as an alternative to purely profit-driven businesses. However, the sustainability of these hybrid organizations has been questioned due to the challenges in meeting the dual bottom-lines of financial performance and social purpose. This article takes a causal-process tracing (CPT) case study approach and analyzes eight SEOs to investigate the common characteristics of sustainable SEOs. The results of the analysis show that effective leadership is a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for the survival of SEOs, while leadership is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for SEOs' thriving. Business competitiveness is found to be necessary for SEOs' long-term success and performance over time. Collaborative networking is a contributory condition for SEOs thriving but not a necessary condition for their survival.

Social enterprises, which have been dramatically increasing all over the world for several decades, are facing the challenge of how best to develop strategies to improve performance and achieve sustainable growth. In South Korea, the government has supported active networking among social enterprises as a tactic for overcoming insufficient material and human resources. However, it is unclear whether active networking activities among social enterprises are associated with higher performance. In this study, a network survey of certified social enterprises (n = 78) in Seoul, South Korea was conducted. Multivariate regression models examined whether degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality were associated with the economic and social performance of social enterprises after controlling for organizational factors. The results revealed that a social enterprise with higher degree centrality in the network of regular meetings achieved higher social and economic performance.
