“…First, the program empowers female youth to become social entrepreneurs to face gender stigmatization in their communities. Svensson and Cohen (2020) note a similar form of innovation in the Play International program and the Playlab experiment. This is a program that is designed with the intent to promote social entrepreneurship amongst program youth.…”

“…Not surprisingly, finance plays an integral role in the capacity of the organization, making it this study's original entry point into social enterprise theory (Svensson & Cohen, 2020;Svensson & Hambrick, 2019). There are financial challenges within the field that cannot be missed.…”

“…Joachim, Schulenkorf, Schlenker, and Frawley (2020) suggest a reorientation of S4SC management so that innovation will stem from a human-centered design. Yet, it is Svensson's complex work on organizational capacity and social innovation that provides much of what we know about social enterprise within the field to date (Svensson & Cohen, 2020;Svensson, Mahoney, & Hambrick, 2020). One key study (Svensson, 2017) explores social innovation through hybrid logic.…”

“…Despite these efforts, there remains a "discrepancy between theory and practice" and how to progress innovations in the S4SC field (Svensson & Cohen, 2020, p. 139). Svensson and Cohen (2020) claim that despite this, "it is just as crucial to relay these findings to SDP [S4SC] stakeholders" (p. 142). However, in our experience, this is not enough when it comes to working through complex, umbrella-like terms such as social enterprise and social innovation.…”

This article engages in a systematic narrative review, executed according to RAMESES (Realist and Meta-Narrative Evidence Synthesis) standards, to unpack the literature on social enterprise. The case of Sport for Social Change and Development (S4SC) is presented as a global field of organizations facing early engagement with the concept of social enterprise as an innovative solution to increasing pressure in the NGO landscape.Yet, social enterprise is a complex term, which requires a solid theoretical approach before gaining currency as an operational term in the S4SC field. As researchers, we need to first and foremost consider how our research in this area supports organizations. Due to this, the way we theorize a concept before operationalizing the concept needs to appreciate the lived reality of these organizations and the efficiencies they aim to gain to benefit their social mission. The RAMESES narrative review is engaged to consider the different angles of thought regarding social enterprise. Findings articulate three prominent methods to conceptualize social enterprise and query how these methods can be used to support the development and growth of the social enterprise model in the S4SC field. Concluding remarks suggest that research on social enterprise in S4SC needs to better

“…Sport researchers have attempted to understand the adoption and implementation of innovative practices from various perspectives within sports. From an organizational viewpoint, previous research has considered the effects of organizational climate on predicting innovation in sports clubs (Escamilla-Fajardo et al, 2019), intricacies of innovation from the field of Sport for Development and Peace (Svensson & Cohen, 2020), intraorganizational conditions for social innovation , and business analytics in professional sport organizations (Troilo et al, 2016). From a sport business professional's perspective, researchers have explored the individual innovativeness of sport manager candidates (Kurtipek & Gungor, 2019) and perceptions towards innovation by non-profit practitioners .…”

This study's focus is to determine why some leaders adopt an innovation, while others do not, through the case of high school athletic directors' digital ticket adoption. We explore the process through which sport managers evaluate an innovation as the best course of action. The purpose of this study was to identify critical factors influencing high school athletic directors' decisions to adopt digital ticketing as the best strategy for securing revenue and serving their event attendees. High school athletic directors (N = 628) completed an online survey measuring the effects that leaders' prior conditions and perceived characteristics of the innovation (i.e., independent variables) have on their decision to adopt or reject the technology (i.e., dependent variable). From a theoretical perspective, we extend the conceptual model proposed by Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory, including two constructs specific to the situation considered (i.e., trust and cost). From a managerial standpoint, there appears to be a need to educate athletic directors on the free digital ticketing options available and its ease-of-use. Future research should explore the athletic directors' decision-making process across a more extensive timeline through a longitudinal study.
