“…Some have argued that the governments' approach overlooked the employee‐owned or cooperative sectors (Ridley‐Duff, ). Others have suggested that the CIC form was a move away from the third sector and an attempt to give social enterprises more freedom to act like mainstream businesses (Dunn & Riley, ). The latter perspective is supported by the light‐touch role of the CIC regulator (Nicholls, ).…”

Taking the elusive definition of social enterprise as its starting point, this study seeks to understand the impact of government policies on the development of social enterprises in the national contexts of the UK and South Korea. The social construction of target populations is utilised as a theoretical framework in order to identify which factors influence government policy. A comparison of the two countries over a 14‐year period from 1997 to 2010 reveals that, despite very different contexts, governments in both countries have taken an instrumental approach to social enterprise. This tendency is more pronounced in Korea however, where government has limited the input of stakeholders and used an approval system to control access to the social enterprise name. The study concludes by recommending a more value‐oriented approach to social enterprise.

“…The Governance Hub Code is stated to apply to organisations within the "voluntary and community sector", yet there is no definition of the descriptor, nor a clear sense of which organisations fall within the ambit of the Code. True, this term has been used in recent government reports into the work of the sector, but so too has the term not-for-profits (Dunn and Riley, 2004). The Foreword (NCVO, 2005, p. 3) talks exclusively of charities, but the voluntary and community sector is indeed much broader than just charitable organisations.…”

In the area of not-for-profit organisations the role, scope and desirability of governance is an emerging field. Both in academic literature and in practice the attempts to provide for governance of not-for-profit organisations are currently discrete and disparate. This is set to change with the publication by the National Hub of Expertise in Governance of a Code for organisations within the sector. This article examines the appropriateness of the new Code as a tool of regulation for the not-for-profit sector. In particular it focuses upon the challenges facing codes of practice for not-for-profit organisations, such as the identification of shareholders and organisational vision, and the purposes that such codes could have in the not-for-profit sector. The article concludes that whilst there is much of value in the new Code as a governance and regulatory tool, significant aspects the Code remain unclear; particularly the extent of the Code's constituency and the balance to be struck on the issue of compliance.

“…Under charity law (which dates back to 1601), in order to attain charitable status, an organization must demonstrate public benefit and operate within defined areas of charitable purpose (Dunn & Riley, 2004). In 2006 the defined areas of charitable purpose were updated to reflect popular assumptions of what are, or should be, charitable causes.…”
