“…Usually, the SE scholars define SE differently and bold various keywords in this knowledge (Table 1). For example different scholars have seen a concept like "social change" as "social results" (Dees 1998a;Thake and Zadek 1997;Emerson & Twersky 1986), "social welfare" (Bugg-Levine et al 2012;Scheuerle et al 2013;Alvord et al 2004;Battilana et al 2012;Haigh and Hoffman 2012;Weisbrod 1977) or "social value" (Nicholls 2006;Dees 1998a;Gartener 1990;Hibbert et al 2002;Austin et al 2006;Boschee 1998;Alvord et al 2004;Mort et al 2002;Sarasvathy and Wicks 2003;Peredo and McLean 2006;Anderson and Dees 2002;Townsend and Hart 2008;Matin 2004).

If entrepreneurship is amid jungle of theories and has many theorists, its social orientation or what is known as social entrepreneurship (SE) is amid arid land of theories and suffers under-theorizing which could be inherently stemmed from its diversely proposed definitions. To be situated in an embryonic pre-paradigmatic phase, getting to a more unanimous definition in this realm is the first step in laying a solid foundation for SE theorizing. As a pioneering study, the paper aims to investigate the epistemological foundations of SE definitions critically to propose a more convergent definition for SE. To fulfill this goal epistemological justifications for the definitional components of SE are presented. Therefore, it was necessary to rely on the relevant philosophical schools of thought in Epistemology (e.g. Empiricism, Internalism, Externalism, Verificationism and Falsificationism); first to discuss the controversies and oppositions to some components of the definitions for their exclusion and then to justify some other definitional components which are mostly accepted by the scholars for their inclusion in a final SE definition. Critical approach has helped us in specifying the maneuvering of thoughts in this field and determining the epistemological and definitional boundaries of SE. Finally, a more epistemologically-supported and justified definition was presented at the end of the paper. Moreover, one of the potential contributions of this paper could be its consensusmaking impact among SE scholars in defining SE phenomenon, which could also pave the way for future theorizing in SE. The originality of the paper lies in the application of Internalism, Externalism, Verificationism and Falsificationism concepts to SE definitions.

This paper provides an insight and suggests that so far, social innovation is quite a new theme for various actors involves in Malaysian KTP projects and technological innovation is still very much focused on the KTP projects outcome. Hence, a better understanding on social innovation as a new innovation outcome strategy must be internalized by all actors involved in the Malaysian KTP projects. It is evidence that, various actors within the Malaysian KTP projects have diverse objectives, interest and priorities towards their involvement in the Malaysian (RMK-11;2016-2020 with the theme "anchoring growth on people" in lights of fulfilling Malaysia to achieve a high income country status
