“…The second focus concerns "latent" or impact of SE legitimacy (Jokela and Elo 2015;Holt and Littlewood 2015;Nicolopoulou et al 2015) where they see SE legitimation to has its roots in the opportunity recognition process, which predominantly focus on the market in which the opportunity will be exploited (Stam, Arzlanian, and Elfring 2014). This view highlights their legitimisation and opportunity development (Hormiga, Batista-Canino, and Sanchez-Medina 2011) that emphasises on the importance of organisational cultural alignment with market needs in providing social value (Ruebottom 2013) and also its potential impact through their value creation activities (Holt and Littlewood 2015).…”

We investigate how social enterprises actively engage with their stakeholders to legitimise their hybrid position in addressing both social and businesses audience. This is particularly important in their effort to capturing stability (expectation to 'fit in') within an emerging field and at the same time to address change and growth (expectation to 'stand out') with their limited resources, in order to be profitable enterprises, while creating social value. We analyse in-depth interviews to senior members of twenty-one UK-based social enterprises, and we find that for many SEs involved in legitimisation exercise through the supportive system, collective system, and stakeholders' impression. By outlining the integrated framework on stakeholder engagement for hybrid legitimacy, we found that (i) legitimisation exercise through collective sharing of SE identity help to build SE image and legitimise SE socially driven mission, while (ii) legitimisation through supportive system (resources and business advantage) help building credibility by demonstrating SE capability to grow economically.

“…The selection criteria were as follows: 1) It was assumed to focus on social initiatives. Social initiatives were defined as social ventures representing "a new type of organization that aim to create sustainable social value, such as promoting the well-being of communities and their existence is based on developing solutions to tackle complex social problems" (Jokela & Elo, 2015). 2) To become case studies, selected initiatives should meet the sharing economy criteria according to Botsman (Collaborative Consumption, 2014) who defined sharing economy as "an economy built on a series of networks of connected individuals and communities versus centralized institutions, transforming how we can produce, consume, finance, and learn."…”

The aim of this paper is to extract and describe recent social initiatives in food consumption and distribution in Poland and indicate their characteristics related to sustainable consumption, sharing economy and collaborative consumption and to indicate the processes, mechanisms and future development options. Food is among areas that seem to adapt to those ideas more easily which means that individual consumers seem to see value in behaving in a more responsible way. In Poland, social awareness is rather limited and responsible behavior happens on a minor scale for the moment, but more international research shows the great potential of sharing economy. Food is being wasted therefore it constitutes a good ground for changing consumption habits. The paper presents four chosen social initiatives in Poland that refer to a sustainable consumption philosophy and collaborative consumption. Those mini case studies are backed by a thorough analysis of relevant literature, theme contents on websites, and results of secondary research studies dedicated to the issues discussed in the paper. Due to the qualitative character of the study, it shall be followed by more quantitative research to allow for more general insights and conclusions.

“…Results of the search of articles that define SE shows that the publication dates range from 2000 (Fowler, 2000) and 2015 (Jokela and Elo, 2015). Table 2 shows the 45 articles published in 31 academic journals.…”

“…Continuing, analysing memes, we found that SE can occur in entities such as "small units" in large organizations as well as in a single chapter in "federations" . Other entities found in the subcategory "business" were memes related to "venture" and "social venture", scholars have used these terms to refer to the type of entity that is created in SE (Jokela and Elo, 2015;Meyskens, Robb-Post, Stamp, Carsrud, and Reynolds, 2010;Peredo and McLean, 2006). These scholars highlighted that these entities are created to fulfil a social mission.…”

From “Push Out” to “Pull In” together: An analysis of social entrepreneurship definitions in the academic field

Definitions are important! They are composed of words that express what people think. Despite numerous efforts to bring about a clear and unbiased definition of social entrepreneurship, there is still confusion as how social entrepreneurship should be defined. The objective of this paper is not to state a novel definition, this means not to "push out", but rather to "pull in" together to better understand what the scholars are talking about through their own social entrepreneurship (SE) definitions. In doing so, we contribute to the literature by synthesizing and analysing the SE definitions to better understand the field. To do so, a combination of methods was used: systematic review to reach the articles proposing definitions and memetic analysis to understand the content of the definitions by analysing their memes. From the analysis, three main categories were considered: entity types, entrepreneurial opportunities and intentions/promises. Future research lines and implications are highlighted.
