“…As such, existing knowledge of social enterprise is largely disconnected from the core mechanisms of entrepreneurship. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 This divide has led to calls for entrepreneurship frameworks to be extended in ways that account for social enterprise (Dacin et al, 2010;Shepherd et al, 2015;Shepherd, 2015), perhaps through the integration of identity theory (Dacin et al, 2011). Heeding this call, we developed an approach based in identity theory that helps to explain the recognition of social welfare versus commercially oriented opportunities, as well as the ways in which different entrepreneurs may work to integrate social and financial aims through the process of opportunity development.…”

“…Conflict within a social enterprise is thus theorized as interpersonal, with the integration of social and financial aims resulting from compromises among internal factions (Battilana et al, 2014;Jay, 2013). However, while this is reasonable for established organizations, it is of little relevance to social enterprise creation, where an entrepreneur values and integrates social and financial aims through the venture creation process (Dacin et al, 2011;Shepherd et al, 2015).…”

Social enterprise has gained widespread acclaim as a tool for addressing social and environmental problems. Yet because social enterprises integrate social welfare and commercial logics, they face the challenge of pursuing frequently conflicting goals. Studies have begun to address how established social enterprises can manage these tensions, but we know little about how, why, and with what consequences social entrepreneurs mix competing logics as they create new organizations. To address this gap, we develop a theoretical model based in identity theory that helps to explain (1) how commercial and social welfare logics become relevant to entrepreneurship, (2) how different types of entrepreneurs perceive the tension between these logics, and (3) what implications this has for how entrepreneurs recognize and develop social enterprise opportunities. Our approach responds to calls from organizational and entrepreneurship scholars to extend existing frameworks of opportunity recognition and development to better account for social enterprise creation.

Recent and rapid vertical integration and rationalization within the agricultural sector provides a dynamic setting for scholars to investigate entrepreneurship theory and practice. We identify three key contextual dimensions of the agricultural sector; identity, family, and institutions, which provide promising opportunities for future research and the potential to contribute to and extend current theoretical and empirical analyses of entrepreneurship research.

“…Intragroup heterogeneity notwithstanding, marked differences appear to exist between the typical patterns of the decision making, thinking, and learning of entrepreneurs and nonentrepreneurs (for a recent overview, see Shepherd, Williams, & Patzelt, 2015). Perseverance is one such feature that is often viewed as particularly characteristic of entrepreneurs' decision making and learning (e.g., Baron, 2004;Markman & Baron, 2003;Patel & Thatcher, 2012;Van Gelderen, 2012;Verheul et al, 2012).…”
