“…It is strange to look for an exceptionally and generally utilized system for measuring social effect, yet we urge for the presence of globally recognized measures that may manage this field. As indicated by the Impact Measurement Roadmap, associations will get to an execution estimation framework for social event, breaking down and conveying the outcomes and taking the obliged activities keeping in mind the end goal to move forward those effects, in the wake of having beforehand characterized the effects anticipated that would arise from the association's activities and picking the suitable measurements [29]. We likewise recognize that sure stakeholders (financial specialists, authorities, society) will need homogenous routines for evaluating the social effect with the end goal, however the social associations themselves ought to have an input in this matter.…”

In this reality accountability has turned into an institutional foundation and measurement defines value as per increasing requirements of stakeholders. The motivation behind this paper is to address change and its effects in progress on a social level. No matter the harbinger of change is social entrepreneurial ventures, social innovation or socially obligated activities, it deciphers into a change in business as standard of the society. In this way, the dialogue of our paper spins around quality, social issue, enterprise and it associates them to the effect on social level they produce by introducing the systems used to quantify this effect and their essential reservations. The systems for measuring the societal effect found in the literature inclines toward measurement in monetary sense and it tends to disregard the significance of the psychological influence an organization may have over its objective customers. Moreover, social effect is translated from organizational aspects and of the financial specialists, disregarding the clients that are the object of the influence. Additional discoveries expose that there is no appropriate legal enactment to manage this turf and no specific regulatory frameworks to administer the social affect. Three standards are proposed supporting social effect estimation model (supportability, included quality and adaptability).

“…During the past decade in Iran, the government has developed a keen interest in the stimulation of entrepreneurship as an important mechanism for job creation, poverty reduction, and economic growth ( Salamzadeh et al, 2017 ; Salamzadeh and Kesim, 2017 ; Karimi et al, 2021 ). According to the Statistics Center of Iran (2016) , about 21 million people (26% of the total population) reside in the rural areas of Iran.…”

Studies regarding rural entrepreneurs in developing countries and, specifically, their well-being have not been sufficiently developed in the literature. The present study was an attempt to fill this gap and to examine important antecedents and outcomes associated with entrepreneurial well-being among a sample of 102 Iranian rural entrepreneurs. This research established a theoretical research model that highlighted the relationships among job fit, entrepreneurial passion, well-being, and persistence. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model. In particular, the results indicated that higher job fit was associated with higher levels of entrepreneurial well-being through an entrepreneurial passion mechanism. Moreover, the results supported the hypothesized serial mediating effect. In other words, a high level of job fit enhances entrepreneurial persistence through a high level of entrepreneurial passion and well-being. This study provides significant input to policymakers and practitioners in their efforts to promote the antecedents and outcomes of well-being among rural entrepreneurs.

“…Another approach to opportunity considers it as the product of a creative process that has gradually moved towards the synthesis of ideas (Emami et al, 2021;Dimov, 2007). Still, other researchers highlight the chance of introducing innovative products, services or processes (Crespo et al, 2020;Ebrahimi et al, 2018;Gaglio, 2004;Moghadamzadeh et al, 2020;Salamzadeh et al, 2017). Finally, to some scholars, it is the role of opportunity in developing a new business that matters (Baron, 2008).…”

Reconceptualizing opportunity construct: An answer to a theoretical dilemma through a systematic literature review

After Shane’s seminal work in 2000 which highlighted the importance of entrepreneurial opportunities, the number of studies focusing on entrepreneurial opportunity increased rapidly. Different definitions of this concept were provided in the field, ranging from subjective to objective ones, which gave rise to a lack of consensus among researchers and this, in turn, was an obstacle that slowed down theorizing in entrepreneurship. Taking into account the past trends in management sciences, it seems to be the right moment to re-conceptualize the core construct of opportunity. The major critique of existing definitions is their operationalization. To provide a better operationalization, the present study aimed to offer a more accurate conceptual definition. To this end, the study first examined current debates on opportunity, which revealed the major problem causing the debates. Then, through a systematic literature review, from among more than seven thousand documents in the Scopus database containing opportunity keywords, 74 papers were selected following different phases of filtration. The papers were analyzed in detail to extract different constructs. Then, using the framework of Hansen et al, they were classified along six dimensions. The concepts under each dimension were examined to finally provide a bigger picture of the construct of opportunity and offer a re-conceptualization. The results of this study highlight the gaps for future research and pave the ground for other systematic literature reviews in the field.
