“…After selling out the first batch and receiving good feedback from customers, the business expands, generating steady income for hundreds of poor villagers in three provinces. According to Tien et al (2019), forming social networks (either formal or informal) boosts mutual support, creates synergy to enhance social innovations, improves recognition of social needs; and cooperation between businesses in big cities and those in the countryside creates the highest value in promoting entrepreneurial innovations. For Doc Moc, the stable and long-term alliances with its suppliers help the company to gain a competitive advantage, in which it is viewed as a priority client and has exclusive claims on product formulas.…”

“…The study by Korosec and Berman (2006) on social entrepreneurship found that municipal authorities play an important part in helping social enterprises acquire resources and coordinate with other organizations. Tien et al (2019) also mentioned the role of local government and suggested that social entrepreneurship can be boosted by fostering cooperation between social entrepreneurs and other entities such as public firms, foreign companies or commercial entrepreneurs in megacities. Therefore, local authorities can become the bridge that connects local businesses with other entrepreneurs by hosting networking events or simply using social media platforms to market the competency of villagers to potential business partners.…”

Purpose This paper intends to analyze a social enterprise as a case example of fulfilling social missions and achieving financial profitability at the same time. This paper aims to illustrate a business partnership that helps to bridge the gap in business and employment opportunities between megacities and suburban areas and examine value-creating activities that generate healthy income stream for the business. Design/methodology/approach This paper follows a quantitative methodology in the form of case study. The data are collected through interviews, personal observation and document analysis; direct quotes from interviewees are used to describe the phenomenon. Value chain framework is adopted to analyze company activities and deduce key success factors as well as value creations of the company. Findings The case demonstrates that social enterprises can be self-sustained financially, which would help them to better fulfill their social missions. Financial profitability can be achieved through good management of production, marketing and sales activities. Besides, value creation achieved through activities in the value chain is not only for customers but also for suppliers – a beneficiary within the social impact created by the case company. Practical implications The case demonstrates the necessity of establishing strong alliance with suppliers and customers in ensuring business success, which implies that leaders need to equip themselves with good business skills. Entrepreneurship support should include educational and training assistance besides the usual legal and financial support. Social implications The case provides an exemplary partnership model that helps social enterprises to achieve financial security and social mission at the same time. This model can be applied anywhere in the world to create benefits for vulnerable communities. Originality/value The case study contributes to the limited understanding of social entrepreneurship in Vietnam, and demonstrates a social innovation in business partnership that helps to diminish the inequality of income and employment opportunities between suburban areas and big cities.

“…Businesses are socially responsible for employing vulnerable people, supporting disadvantaged groups, and reinvesting the obtained profits in social projects, and promoting the idea of inclusive development. Meanwhile, green growth and social enterprises create important changes and tools through which the labor market becomes prosperous (Bilan et al , 2017; Tien et al , 2020). The combination of entrepreneurship and paying attention to social needs with a social innovation approach is called “social entrepreneurship”.…”

Purpose The concentration of women entrepreneurs on influential events such as the development of green entrepreneurship, which lead to the coordination and dynamic balance between economic and environmental goals, can create a bright future for businesses with sustainable and environmentally friendly architecture. The main purpose of this study is to provide a framework for the successful entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach The present qualitative applied descriptive-analytical study was conducted on a population of women entrepreneurs working in green businesses. This population was obtained by the non-probability chain sampling method and an exploratory interview with the saturation of 12 individuals. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the findings. Findings The results revealed that creating shared value, inclusive social acceptance, multifaceted interactions and green dynamic bedding are effective in the entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship in the form of “competitive empowerment” and “multiplied green synergy”. Thus, managers and planners should consider some factors, including shared value, social acceptance, inclusive acceptance, building green culture, knowledge flows, multiple participation, networking dimension, green marketing, competitiveness, creating platforms, green technologies and risk management. Originality/value This research tries to present a framework for the entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship area.

The current rapid development of social economy has had a great impact on the ecological environment of different regions, and this impact has brought more inconvenience to people's daily life. On the other hand, people's requirements for the ecological environment and environmental quality of the area they are living in are rapidly increasing as they continue to improve their material living conditions through the continuous progress of various technologies. This situation has prompted some organizations to pay attention to the development of some things that can purify the urban ecological environment, such as gardens. The various types of garden landscapes in cities can not only purify and protect the ecological environment in their areas, but also significantly improve the quality of life of residents in their areas, better improve the spiritual status of residents, and play an important role in the development of social economy. This role has made the concept of landscape tourism more and more popular, and even a considerable number of people began to seek to visit various excellent gardens. At present, garden tourism is still a comprehensive activity to appreciate various green landscapes and human environments, and also depends on the development of tourism. However, with the rapid increase of people's demand for garden tourism and the requirements for the quality of gardens in the process of tourism, garden tourism has gradually evolved into a relatively complete tourism service system. Through in-depth research on the current concept of green environmental protection, combined with the existing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to explore the development trend and direction of the existing landscape tourism industry, this paper successively proposed a green and low-carbon landscape tourism development model, and confirmed through relevant experiments that the performance of this new development model in many aspects has increased by about 47.8% compared with the existing development model.
