“…The second element involves seeking for a solution to the issue addressed. That is, the business model is geared towards a permanent solution to a social problem, creating a new balance that guarantees enduring benefits (Bugg-Levine, Kogut, & Kula tilaka, 2012;Dees, 2007;Martin & Osberg, 2007;Sullivan Mort, Weerawardena, & Carnegie, 2003). When faced by the dilemma between "problem solving"…”

“…The scalability of social entrepreneurship refers to the ability to successfully replicate the business model in other places, in order to continue generating social benefits (Martin & Osberg, 2007;Yunus, 2010). The scalability of social enterprises is usually limited due to lack of resources, infrastructure and adequate policies (Dees, 2007).…”

Purpose: To explore innovative enabler mechanisms for women's empowerment in a social enterprise and how they promote local development in a Zapotec indigenous community, the third largest ethnic group in Mexico. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: This paper contributes to the extension of social entrepreneurship literature from a gender perspective, exploring the mechanisms that allow women to succeed in highly marginalized indigenous communities. Key methodological aspects: This paper follows a case study methodology, inductive approach and qualitative methods mainly through 70 in-depth interviews. Summary of key results: Although the male-dominated culture slows down the democratic and political empowerment of women in the community, mechanisms such as job stability, low-interest microcredits and gender-equality policies in the organization have triggered economic empowerment.

“…Being a people's representative, this person cannot perform any kind of innovation or change based on entrepreneurship, he is not a player in the market, and if this person tries to do so, he/she obviously breaks the law. Accor ding to J. Gregory Dees (Dees, 2007), public authorities cannot perform the same services as social entrepreneurs do. Mark E. Warren (Warren, 2003) underlines that too great a resource mix between power, money and normative means could have ne gative effects on the democracy [10].…”

Abstract. Innovation is a superior driving force for economic development in a capital, marketbased economy. Entrepreneurs carry out innovations, be it business or social entrepreneurs. Theoretically, according to the Franco-Austrian-Norwegian (FAN) scientific tradition, innovation is defined as a new combination of the first and second input factors in a production function. The result of successful business and social entrepreneurship is economic development, equal rights, a better world, peace, freedom, a more secure society for everyone, as well as technological, economic and social progress. These are all parameters that define the modern Western style democracy, and even more, these prerequisites represent the conditions for the maintenance, construction and dissemination of democracy to new territories throughout the world. Successful entrepreneurs are private individuals whose role can never be substituted by any group of members, be it political parties, governments, boards of directors, committees or power based authorities like the political boss. Throughout history, we have seen national states, big and small, trying to overrule the wisdom of science and that they have failed. We have seen the horrors imposed on civil populations, both nationally and globally, as a result of the failed Marxist-based socialist political ideology concerning the distribution of wealth. The process of wealth creation lays the foundation of a democracy, and only individuals can undertake the formation of economic progress.

Інновація − головна рушійна сила економічного розвитку в ринковій економіці. Інноваційну діяльність здійснюють як соціальні підприємці, так і особи, що займаються бізнесом. Теоретично, згідно франко-австрійсько-норвезькій науковій традиції, інновація визначається як нова комбінація першого та другого елементів витрат будь-якої виробничої функції. Результатом успішного бізнес та соціального підприємництва є економічний розвиток, рівні права, кращий світ, мир, свобода, більш захищене суспільство, а також технологічний, економічний та соціальний прогрес. Усі ці параметри визначають сучасну західну модель демократії та, понад те, вони є умовами для підтримки, побудови та розповсюдження демократії у всьому світі. Успішні підприємці -це фізичні особи, функція яких не може бути виконана групами людей, наприклад, політичною партією, урядом, ра...

“…Social value creation is concerned with the resolution of social issues, such as generating income for economically disadvantaged people or delivering medical supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the globe. This requires innovation just as the commercial sector does by creating economic value (Dees, 2001(Dees, , 2007. Opportunities to create social value emerge through philanthropic activities and social activism (e.g.…”

This paper aims to identify an attractiveness pattern of social project that lead to successful funding of projects in social stock exchanges (SSE). This empirical study was based on data published on the SSE sites. Data were obtained during 2012, totalizing 155 projects, from BVSA (Brazil), BVS (Portugal), and SASIX (South Africa). Data analyze were by descriptive statistics (crosstabs) and multiple linear regression.The results show no linear relationship between attractiveness and the social project characteristics selected for this work. In spite of this, it was possible to identify some common vectors concerning the projects with success in funding. This paper provides two important contributions. First it considers SSE as a model based on transparency which empowers investors to find social value of each project. Second it sheds light on an investment pattern to identify characteristics of social projects that are more prone to obtain financial resource.
