“…According to our results, during the crisis the influence of perceived opportunities on social entrepreneurship increased 37 % compared with the period before the crisis. Similar to previous results (Lehner & Kaniskas, 2012;Roy et al, 2014;Tominc & Rebernik, 2007), perceived opportunities are found to be related to entrepreneurial intentions and are a key driver in the decision to start a new business.…”

“…In the social entrepreneurship area, Perrini, Vurro, and Costanzo (2010) describe how social entrepreneurial opportunities are identified, evaluated, exploited and scaled up. According to the study conducted by Roy, Brumagim, and Goll (2014), perceived opportunity is negatively correlated with social entrepreneurship at country level. Additionally, several authors point out the relevance of the ability to embrace opportunities in the social entrepreneurial process (Austin, Stevenson, & Wei-Skillern, 2006;Corner & Ho, 2010;Dorado & Ventresca, 2013;Haugh, 2005;Mair & Marti, 2006;Zahra, Rawhouser, Bhawe, Neubaum, & Hayton, 2008).…”

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the influence of cultural factors on social entrepreneurship in Spain in the context of the recent economic crisis. Data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Spanish Statistics Institute (INE) for the period 2005-2010 are used as the main sources of information and a panel data analysis is applied in the empirical part of the research. Through the lens of institutional economics, the main findings of the study suggest that informal factors such as cultural factors "perceived opportunities to create a start-up" and "entrepreneur's social image" are key drivers of social entrepreneurship during the depression period. This study contributes for the design of policies to foster social entrepreneurial activity as well as for the development of the literature in the social entrepreneurship field.

“…Overall, social entrepreneurship definitions focus on social values, innovation, community development, and social sustainability. The main difference between entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship lies in its motivation and goals (Roy, Brumagim, & Goll, 2014). Although entrepreneurship can still have a positive social effect, social entrepreneurship emphasizes social values beyond economic values (Zahra, Gedajlovic, Neubaum, & Shulman, 2009).…”

The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic literature review on personality trait research in social entrepreneurship, clarify the prevailing research categories and research themes, and suggest potential future research directions. The review process follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A total of 60 publications in the research topic from Web of Science and Scopus were analyzed. This study identifies four main categories in studies of personality traits in social entrepreneurship: ‘comparison of personality traits,’ ‘description of personality traits of social entrepreneurs,’ ‘personality traits and social entrepreneurial intention,’ and ‘personality traits and other factors.’ In addition, the themes in each category are also determined and several research gaps deserving of future investigation are recognized. Policymakers and educators gain a deeper understanding of personality traits in social entrepreneurship to have policies that trigger a change in social entrepreneurship education by cultivating personality traits towards sustainable development. This study classifies publications related to personality traits in social entrepreneurship and provides a guide for researchers by providing a systematic understanding of the research structure in this topic.

“…Comparatively, Saudi Arabian participants had a degree and postgraduate qualifications outnumbering their counterparts from the UK while participants with diploma holders and high school qualifications from the UK outnumbered their counterparts from Saudi Arabia. Starting up a new business required some level of education specially to assist in understanding the support systems available for startups, the regulatory framework, and in identifying the demand gap in the market (Roy, Brumagim, &Goll, 2014). Therefore, it could be deduced that educated individuals such as those with degrees and diploma had a high level of exposure to the available startup support programs compared to those with high school education level.…”

Start-ups in many countries face numerous challenges especially the inadequacy of financial and professional support. Lending to startups is perceived as risky due to the high possibility of business failures. Globally, there is a consensus on the significance of entrepreneurship particularly for social and economic development. Consequently, the correlation between startups and entrepreneurial support has attracted immense interests from researchers and policymakers.In this paper, the researcher sought to identify the support systems availed to startups in the UK and Sudi Arabia and compare the ease of establishing new businesses between the two countries. A qualitative and quantitative research approach was adopted with a sample of 100 participants from each country. The data collected wasanalysed using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) and presented in the form of tables and graphs. The results showed that government support systems had a significant impact on the performance of startup entrepreneurship in the two countries under consideration. It was also found that startup entrepreneurship support systems were more favorable in the UK than in Saudi Arabia. In conclusion, the researcher formulated some recommendations for increasing support for startup entrepreneurship in both countries including the provision of practical programs for encouraging entrepreneurial mindsets, especially among learners.
