Social entrepreneurship is a potential alternative to address social problems but social business still needs to be strengthened to provide far-reaching impact. One strategy to flourish is benchmarking against successful social enterpreneurs because previous studies show that entrepreneur’s competence is a determinant of small-medium business performance and growth. Social entrepreneur competencies which drive social business success and how these competencies are developed, unfortunately have not clear yet. This study aims to build a competency model for social entrepreneurs and to find out pattern (in method, period, sources) for developing competencies by studying successful Indonesian social entrepreneurs. The reports on social entrepreneur competency model presented in this paper. This research adopt qualitative approach using multiple case study design. Data collected by indepth interviewing 29 informants, studying documents and conducting field observation in eight cities. Results show that successful social entrepreneurs have shared competencies which indicate existence of social entrepreneur competency model. The result of this study complements empirical studies in social entrepreneurs’ competencies by showing competencies that drive success of social business i.e: Achievement orientation, Persistence, Initiative, Courage to take opportunities, Networking, Influencing others, Team leadership, Developing others, Teamwork-Colaboration, Orientation to help and serve others, Mission orientation, Affiliate interest, Creative problem solving. The finding has direct implication on social entrepreneur education and development programs included method, materials, design and sources of development because the competencies determine the success constitute mostly of attitudes, motives and traits instead of knowledge and skills.

Full textAbstract:
This teaching case reports on the trajectory of a French citizen, teacher, researcher and entrepreneur who found in Brazil the possibility of developing strategic behaviors of an entrepreneurial social nature. The information was collected through interviews with the entrepreneur and two family members. It is possible to consider that although the case contributes to the reality of a locality, this resembles the profile of our teacher as an entrepreneur, since it cannot be guaranteed that it is the best representation of this category. The study of the case opens new discussions about the individual and environmental factors that determine the entrepreneur's decision-making, enabling the marginalized localities to have the opportunity to promote entrepreneurship in loco and to create new teaching methodologies, directed to the formation of people who have potential as entrepreneurs.

Purpose - Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, this study will examine the most significant factors—such as technology, skills, personality, and motivation—that impact the success of Social tech entrepreneurs Design/ Methodology/ Approach - With the growth of the local economy, Bangalore has seen a boom in tech-social entrepreneurship, which has recently become the most relevant topic in management studies. This article explored a few tech-related social entrepreneurs and used the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to gauge their effectiveness (FAHP). The survey covers Bangalore-based tech-social entrepreneurs. 7 social tech entrepreneurs were chosen for the study. Findings - The findings of the study revealed that for successful social tech entrepreneurship, tech business environment, and Tech personality traits are essential and significant. Using their inventive mindset, technological expertise, commitment to change, and self-efficacy for innovation are all important factors in the success of tech social entrepreneurs. Personal qualities came in at number two, suggesting that a social tech entrepreneur’s outlook is influenced by his or her exposure to new technologies and ways of thinking. Originality Value - As the knowledge-based economy and information technology continue to develop and evolve, tech entrepreneurs are better equipped to learn and apply a wide range of technical abilities to a variety of contexts. This is mostly a result of their aptitude for handling and conquering a variety of technological advancements, creating discoveries and inventions, persuading people, and leading them. The traits of an entrepreneur have a big impact on how successful they are as an entrepreneur. The entrepreneur’s personality, leadership, managerial competence, communication skills, and external circumstances are critical in turning the business into a successful one, even if these factors are essential to developing effective companies. External aspects such as favorable conditions (i.e., the potentiality of markets and technological sophistication, etc.), high-caliber of entrepreneur/ entrepreneurial teams, and promotion policies to encourage social entrepreneurship are the factors that promote early business growth. The significance of each of the attributes contributing to social tech entrepreneurship is explored on an original basis using the FAHP technique.

Full textAbstract:
The risk management of the entrepreneur is an important factor that can explain the success or failure of a business venture. The problem of risk management is here approached from an economic-psychological perspective. In this study the risk management of entrepreneurs is compared. The entrepreneurs are divided into three subgroups; super-entrepreneurs, small business owner-managers, and failed entrepreneurs (who went bankrupt). In this study, some interesting results are found. There seems to be some differences in how the categories of entrepreneurs manage risk. An entrepreneur’s acceptance of uncertainty, ability to manage risk and perception of the situation are discussed in this paper. In general, the results show the super-entrepreneur as risk aversive and highly motivated, and the success of the business as attributable to this combination. The small business owner-manager prefers control to growth. The failed entrepreneur does not use the social network and has no buffer for problems.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines entrepreneurial identity in both the United Kingdom and China through the lenses of identity theory and social identity theory to develop a deeper and more holistic understanding of the concept of entrepreneurial identity. By examining the entrepreneur as both a role and an identity, this article explores how an entrepreneur views the role of the entrepreneur, the counter-roles to the entrepreneur, and the “self-as-entrepreneur” and seeks to understand how entrepreneurs construct their identity as an entrepreneur. By looking at the role identity in different social constructs, a more nuanced view of entrepreneurial identity can be uncovered for entrepreneurs in both the United Kingdom and China. The study argues that entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom use counter-roles to bridge the disconnect between their understanding of the entrepreneur-as-role and the self-as-entrepreneur, whereas entrepreneurs in China have less conflict reconciling the two and use the counter-role as a way to paint entrepreneurship as a “calling,” justifying their abandonment of other identities.

Full textAbstract:
In order to obtain a better understanding why some entrepreneurs retain more control over their venture than others, this article analyzes the relationship between the social identity of the entrepreneur and her/his desire for control. In fact, entrepreneurs face an important tradeoff between attracting resources required to build company value and retaining decision-making control. Yet, we currently lack insight into whether and how entrepreneurs’ social motivations shape this trade-off. This study draws on social identity theory and a unique sample of 148 buyout entrepreneurs, as this setting confronts aspiring entrepreneurs directly with the value–control tradeoff. In our logistic regression, we find that entrepreneurs with a strong missionary identity, where venture creation revolves around advancing a cause, hold a higher desire for control. We do not observe a significant relationship between entrepreneurs having a Darwinian (driven by economic self-interest) or communitarian (driven by the concern for the community) identity and the desire to control their venture. When adding the moderating role of the portion of personal wealth the entrepreneur is willing to invest in her/his venture, the relationships between having a Darwinian or missionary social identity and the desire for control become significantly positive when the entrepreneur is looking to invest a larger portion of her/his wealth.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the economic, psychological and social-behavioral theories of the entrepreneur in order to determine the characteristics of a successful entrepreneur. The major contribution of economic theories of the entrepreneur is better understanding of the entrepreneur and his/her role in economic development. The psychological characteristic theory of entrepreneur argues that successful entrepreneurs possess certain personality traits that mark them out as special, and tries to determine and to evaluate these special traits. The social-behavioral theories stress the influence of experience, knowledge, social environment and ability to learn on the entrepreneur?s success as well as his/her personality traits. Neither of the examined theories of entrepreneur gives a satisfactory explanation of the entrepreneur?s success, but taken as a whole, they can explain key factors of entrepreneur?s success. The entrepreneur?s success comes about as a result of his/her personality traits, ability to learn from experience and ability to adjust to his/her environment.

Full textAbstract:
This article is an initial step to reach a conceptual understanding on young entrepreneurs in sociological studies. Many studies pertaining to entrepreneurship have been found in various discipline of studies, however, nothing of note has been found particularly in connection to the concept of youth. The current reality in Indonesia precisely exhibits multiple entrepreneurship activities targeting young people as organizers and participants. The identity of entrepreneur is constructed by tracing and researching the variety of important concepts observed in various literature (written by economy, sociology, and entrepreneurship experts) concerning entrepreneur action. Entrepreneur identity has 4 dimensions: triggering event, innovation, action strategy of start-up arrangement (as stated in the business plan/model), and entrepreneurship implementation. Entrepreneur identity will be discussed by using multiple data obtained from YouTube in the form of speeches, lectures, and interviews of young entrepreneurs until an understanding is ultimately acquired regarding the identity of young entrepreneurs’ base of action by analyzing their emphasis on what they do as entrepreneurs. The discussion develops further as the identity touches on a more complex social context: social welfare, hence, young entrepreneurs also have the identity of young entrepreneurs’ social movement comprising of three phases: initiation, strategic, and control.

Full textAbstract:
Social entrepreneurship as a specific kind of business has been developing in Latvia since 2018, and it is a little researched field. Achieving the goals of social entrepreneurship is facilitated by several factors, including the competences of the social entrepreneur him/herself. The present research aims to identify the general basic knowledge, skills and competences necessary for a social entrepreneur in Latvia. The authors made a review of theoretical literature on the role of managerial competencies in social enterprises and analysed the results of surveys of social entrepreneurs and their institutional partners – university teaching personnel – conducted in Latvia. The research found that there were areas of general knowledge, skills and competences of social entrepreneurs that were rated as equally important by both groups surveyed, yet the social entrepreneurs gave more importance to competences related to business goals and opportunities. The present research makes a scientific contribution in two aspects: 1) the identified general competencies required for a social entrepreneur could serve as a basis for further research to measure the actual competencies of social entrepreneurs; 2) the research contributes to an institutional framework for the social entrepreneurship ecosystem by developing recommendations for cooperation partners – those involved in adult lifelong learning, incl. universities, for the development of competencies in social entrepreneurs.

Purpose This study aims to focus on implementing frugal innovation and its principles by social entrepreneurs to face the challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research paper discusses the case of an Indian social entrepreneur who works for menstrual health and hygiene of unprivileged and rural women in India. The social entrepreneur’s constant endeavor is to create an ecosystem to ensure rural women’s economic and social upliftment through financial inclusion and livelihood training. When faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, the social entrepreneur re-purposed the manufacturing process to produce masks that were the need of the hour. Design/methodology/approach The research paper is qualitative and follows an inductive case study approach. The underlying principles of frugal innovation are established through content analysis of the social entrepreneur’s interviews and her team members. Findings The study discusses how adversity can be an opportunity for social entrepreneurs by implementing frugal innovation principles, i.e. re-use, re-purpose, re-combine and rapidity, in times of crisis. Research limitations/implications One of the major limitations of this study is that it is based on a single case study, as, in the current scenario, this case appeared to be the most suitable one. There is no way to generalize the assumptions of this model. Researchers will have to study the phenomena of frugal innovation in adversity across multiple cases in the future. Also, the study is based on a single emerging economy, i.e. India. Further research may be carried out with such cases from other countries. Practical implications The proposition of this research paper will help new and established social entrepreneurs understand that the four principles of frugal innovation and their practical application by a social entrepreneur. This will act as a guiding light for the present and future entrepreneurs regarding how one can respond to a crisis. This will also help advance our understanding of the distinct ways in which social entrepreneurs’ activities can help society in times of crisis. The findings of this research paper provide timely implications for social entrepreneurs. To respond efficiently to various crises, it is important to consider its effect on social entrepreneurship. Social implications The research paper shows that the social enterprise has implemented frugal innovation principles to manufacture the COVID-19 protection items supplied through existing supply chain networks. Also, a social entrepreneur is not intimidated by the sudden changes in the business environment; instead, they look at the situation as an opportunity to do something new. They are always willing to take the risk to innovate a solution that will address people’s problems. frugal innovation, due to its highly collaborative nature and its ability to make the most from limited resources, is the only way social entrepreneurs can create an inclusive, secure and sustainable future. Originality/value There are several challenges in social entrepreneurship, especially in emerging economies like India. During the pandemic, availability of resources was the major challenge, due to which social entrepreneurs had to find solutions through frugal innovation. This paper provides the practical application of the four principles of frugal innovation implemented by a social enterprise to manufacture and supply Covid protection items. It also presents the practical and managerial implications of the principles of frugal innovation by social entrepreneurs in low resource settings.

Objectives: to reveal the socio-psychological, personal, and cultural characteristics of Russian IT entrepreneurs. Background. The digital transformation of the economy focuses on new technologies and involves more people. IT entrepreneurship is becoming a desired career of the younger generation in Russia. The country’s technological leadership depends on psychosocial and personality characteristics and attitudes of successful IT entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, research of Russian entrepreneurs in the IT sector is rare. Study design. Using qualitative research method the socio-psychological portrait of an IT entrepreneur is formed on the basis of socio-psychological and personal characteristics (internal locus of control, risk tolerance, achievement orientation), including value orientations: family, creativity, money, self-realization and cultural preferences. One research question and three hypotheses are considered. Participants. After a preliminary selection of respondents, the most characteristic representatives of the IT entrepreneurial social group were selected: 14 male entrepreneurs, 27—35 year old — IT businesses’ owners. Measurement. Thematic analysis of the theoretical type was used to classify the data collected from in-depth semi-structured interviews using a six stage algorithm of V. Braun and V. Clarke. Results. A portrait of the technological company’s founder is presented: nonconformity, independence from family values, high involvement in the work, strong desire to achieve business goals, low interest in cultural symbols and events are revealed. Differences of a Russian technological entrepreneur from an entrepreneur in Russia as a whole (family and material values), as well as differences from a new wave of Western entrepreneurs (nonconformity) are noted. All hypotheses were confirmed. Conclusions. Russian IT entrepreneur in our sample shares similar features with modern entrepreneurs in other countries. The distinguishing characteristics of Russian IT entrepreneur from Russian non-IT entrepreneurs include: low importance of money and material status, neutral attitude to family values.

Entrepreneurial activities can stimulate the vitality of the market economy, promote the flow of production factors and the adjustment of industrial structure, and play an important role in the economic and social development of a country or region. However, the social capital of the entrepreneur is very important for the new venture to break through the congenital defect and industry barrier and get the chance of growth. 
 The quantity and quality of social capital owned by entrepreneurs can promote the growth of start-ups, and it can also promote the growth of enterprises after improving the effect of identifying growth opportunities. This paper focuses on the relationship between the social capital of entrepreneurs and the growth of New Ventures and analyzes the relationship between the social capital of entrepreneurs, the recognition of growth opportunities, and the growth of new ventures with the growth opportunity as the intermediary variable, this paper analyzes the mechanism of the influence of entrepreneur social capital on the growth of new ventures, and constructs the theoretical model of “Entrepreneur social capital-recognition of growth opportunity-growth of new ventures”, this study considers the moderating effect of business environment dynamics on Growth Opportunity Identification and start-up growth. Through the test, we draw the following conclusions: first, the social capital of entrepreneurs has a positive impact on the growth of new ventures; second, the social capital of entrepreneurs has a positive impact on the identification of growth opportunities; Third, the growth opportunity recognition plays an intermediary role in the entrepreneur social capital to the new venture growth; fourth, the dynamic business environment plays a moderating role in the growth opportunity recognition and the new venture growth.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of trust management on the fundraising performance in reward-based crowdfunding. Design/methodology/approach – A research model was constructed based on elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and literatures with five hypotheses developed. Data were collected from www.demohour.com - the first and one of the largest reward-based crowdfunding platforms in China. In total, 829 reward-based crowdfunding projects were analyzed to test hypotheses. To test the hypotheses, partial least squares was used to analyze data of entrepreneur/sponsor profiles, entrepreneur/sponsor behaviors, and crowdfunding projects. Findings – Results indicated trust management significantly promoted fundraising performance via central (entrepreneur’s creditworthiness) and peripheral (entrepreneur-sponsor interactions) routes. The peripheral route (entrepreneur-sponsor interaction) showed significantly higher effects than the central route (entrepreneur’s creditworthiness). The finding aligns with authors’ assumptions derived from unique characteristics of reward-based crowdfunding – community and collaboration because personal, dynamic message interactions were more effective than static, historical success records on the trust establishment. In addition to the main effects, the results also showed entrepreneur’s prior success crowdfunding records positively moderated the effect of entrepreneur-sponsor interaction on fundraising performance. Originality/value – This study is the first paper that reveals the value of trust management in reward-based fundraising, especially the effect of dynamic entrepreneur-sponsor message interactions. Entrepreneur-sponsor interactions not only promoted community benefits in crowdfunding, but also cultivated trust relationships between entrepreneurs and sponsors. Previous studies mainly focussed on the entrepreneur’s popularity level on third-party social media (such as Facebook) toward fundraising performance. This study examines the effect of direct entrepreneur-sponsor interactions on the crowdfunding platform. Additionally, this study found one moderating effect from the central route to the peripheral route. It is a rare case in studies based on ELM. Finally, this study demonstrates how to incorporate a theoretical framework guiding the analysis of structured and unstructured data for in-depth analysis, result interpretation, and corresponding intervention strategy development.

Full textAbstract:
Both the consumer’s corporate social responsibility association and enterprise production capacity association are beneficial to business sustainable development. Based on Chinese traditional culture and from the perspective of Stereotype Content Model, this paper explores the relationship between two types of entrepreneur-related Word-of-mouth (WOM) and the two afore-mentioned types of consumer’s associations. On the one hand, the results show that the entrepreneur-related WOM labeled as “making yourself a person”, which emphasizes the personal qualities of the entrepreneur, may prompt consumers to form corporate social responsibility associations. On the other hand, the entrepreneur-related WOM labeled as “managing your own affairs”, which emphasizes the ability of the entrepreneur, may cause consumers to form associations regarding the enterprise’s production capacity. The mechanism underlying these effects is that the former type of entrepreneur-related WOM stimulates the consumer’s perception of the entrepreneur’s warmth, while the latter stimulates the consumer’s perception of the entrepreneur’s competence.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the mechanism of the ambidextrous behavior of entrepreneurs in exploring and exploiting simultaneously in new ventures. We draw on social cognition theory to discuss the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) on entrepreneurs’ ambidextrous behavior and the moderating effect of their status. We contend that an inverted ‘U’ relationship exists between ESE and entrepreneurs’ ambidextrous behavior. A higher economic status of an entrepreneur strengthens the relationship between ESE and that entrepreneur’s ambidextrous behavior, whereas higher power status weakens the relationship. Analyses of high-tech industry entrepreneurs support our hypotheses in the context of emerging economies, represented by China.

Purpose Understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurs throughout the entrepreneurial process has been a vital topic of entrepreneurial research. Despite societal changes, male entrepreneurs still outnumber females. The purpose of this paper is to develop a greater grasp on the factors that contribute to this phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach Utilizing social dominance theory and social cognition theory, the authors suggest that a female entrepreneur’s social dominance orientation (SDO) and mentorship experiences will influence her social and conventional entrepreneurial intention. Findings The authors’ theorizing suggests SDO can lower entrepreneurial self-efficacy which in turn can lower conventional entrepreneurial intentions but increase social intentions in some women. However, if the entrepreneur has mentoring, the effect could be dissipated. Originality/value This paper is one of the first to examine the impact of SDO on entrepreneurial intentions, and builds on the work of other scholars.

One of the interesting questions in education research is how to motivate students to become social entrepreneurs. In this study, we examine five considerations which influence the decision of social entrepreneurs to lead an initiative. a. The extent to which the project is interesting, innovative and will bring about long-term change in the community. b. People’s level of cooperation in the community where the initiative will be carried. c. The initiative’s level of logistic simplicity. d. The extent to which the entrepreneur is able to invest time in the project, in relation to his current level of activity in the different areas of his life. e.

AbstrakGender merupakan sebuah kontruksi social yang dilekatkan dalam rangka membedakan maskulin dan feminism. Demikian pula ketika entrepreneur pria dan wanita mengelola dan menjalankan usahanya, akan ada sudut pandang yang berbeda. Pernahkan terbersit dalam pikiran bahwa entrepreneur pria lebih baik dari entrepreneur wanita?. Kegelisahan ini tentunya tidak mudah untuk di jawab tanpa melakukan sebuah kajian yang mendalam.

The entrepreneurship issue has been widely broadcasted among both academic and business environment by means of publications, practical cases and examples from entrepreneurs who are well succeeded in their business career. Several articles, seminars and conferences have addressed the issue and also have inspired researchers and scholars to identify which characteristics compose the entrepreneur’s profile. Small companies are considered to be one of the main agents of development and economic growth of a country as they contribute in two different ways: they create more job opportunities and technological innovations. In Brazil, for example, small companies represent 98% of the total running companies and 59% of the total workforce. Hence, small companies have a central importance for the social system in a capitalist society. Considering this scenario, the present research aims to build an instrument to identify which are the main factors that compose the entrepreneur’s profile. In order to achieve that objective, 965 questionnaires were collected. According to the results of the research, the EPP- Entrepreneur Potential Profile is composed by eight factors: strategic competence, risk, innovation, formal planning, relationship, analytical thinking, dedication and challenge. Through Structural Equation Modeling, it was verified that EPP (Entrepreneur Potential Profile) could explain 25% of performance of a small business. This study contributes with the development of a scale to measure Entrepreneur Potential Profile, with the proposal of a Entrepreneur Potential Profile Index - EPPI (using structural weights), associated with a typology of EPPI levels (low to high Entrepreneur Potential), that can help entrepreneurs to understand their profile and compare it with the population. Also, this work suggests that Entrepreneurship Profile Potential is an antecedent of business performance, and should be considered in new studies that aim to improve performance of small business firms.

Facebook has voyaged a significant distance since its launch in 2004 as a web-based social media connector. What initially started off as a way to socially associate people at an individual level has in its journey become a platform for doing business easily. It is currently a huge ring to associate and network across the globe. Sonia Konjeti Agarwal has weaved a comparable success story utilizing Facebook. Her story, like that of Facebook, started with a motive to socially connect people of a geographical area. She created a Facebook group for women in Pune and christened it PULA (Pune Ladies Association), which has now become a vibrant business platform. Research Questions: i. Social entrepreneurs are change agents. In the context of social entrepreneurship which is most important: initiation of an idea, transmission of idea or creating a sustainable impact? ii. Social media is a powerful tool for networking. How did PULA strategically leverage social media for real time interactions and entrepreneurial ventures? Link to Theory: This case draws linkage to Social Cognitive Theory. Social Cognitive theory depicts bidirectional character of causation where behavior, cognitive, emotional factors and environment persistently and jointly persuade each other. Role of the protagonist in creating an exciting platform for indigenous entrepreneurs through the path of social entrepreneurship is linked here. Phenomenon Studied: Social entrepreneurship is a promising field with diverse interpretations. As a social entrepreneur, Sonia’s efforts are directed towards strengthening the identity of indigenous entrepreneurs. She initiated small venture creations within social network. Growth of indigenous entrepreneurs ignites self dependency and magnetizes new investments. Success of the virtual community to hone entrepreneurial skills is studied. Case context - As a social entrepreneur, the protagonist used Facebook to create virtual community of indigenous (women) entrepreneurs. PULA enhanced visibility, reach, network and prominence of indigenous entrepreneurs at low cost. Opportunity to interact with buyers directly expanded vendor registration in the group. It also created level playing field for first generation entrepreneurs. Findings: This case depicts pragmatism of the social entrepreneur. PULA unified the virtual community and resources fostering entrepreneurship. This virtual community signifies uniqueness of domain, novel practices and policies. PULA was initially constituted for social networking. Gradually members discovered business opportunities. Efficacy of social media for virtual engagement and small venture creation resulted in financial independence for women. Status of women transitioned to indigenous entrepreneur from homemaker. Growth of indigenous entrepreneurs being contagious, a wave of first generation entrepreneurs was born. Discussions: PULA encouraged individuals hitherto in the veil of self imposed life situations to become entrepreneurs. Sonia was zealous about empowering women, to create opportunities for them to succeed and advance in lives. As a social influencer her actions are directed towards social well being. Her primary objective is to leverage the trust shown by two hundred forty-five thousand plus members and six thousand five hundred plus verified sellers. Non existence of tangible and quantifiable metrics for measuring the performance of the social entrepreneur creates a challenge. Sonia is exploring new social media engagement strategies for creating a sustainable virtual community.

Full textAbstract:
Networking plays a crucial role in developing an entrepreneur's career. With a wide network, entrepreneurs can access various resources, business opportunities, guidance and support from investors that can accelerate the development of their business. In addition, networking contributes to building a professional image and trust, which are important factors for attracting customers and strategic partners. Solid interpersonal relationships also open up opportunities for creative collaboration and idea sharing, allowing entrepreneurs to face challenges more effectively. Whether through online or offline platforms, networking is a key strategic element in creating long-term success for an entrepreneur. In the current digital era, networking can be done through various platforms, either directly, such as attending conferences and business events, or online through social media and virtual communities. This process not only expands connections but can also provide an opportunity to understand industry trends and build competitive advantages. Therefore, networking is not just about building relationships, but is also one of the main strategies that can encourage long-term success and growth for an entrepreneur.

Abstract. This article reviews the subject of entrepreneur with a focus on the components of the entrepreneurial personality traits that are reflected in entrepreneur behaviour. Human behaviour receives a warm welcome in social psychology for examination and measurement of individual social behaviour. There are a number of tools to measure human behaviour in social science such as Likert scale, Indices, Social Network Analysis, E-scan and lastly most popular Big Five Factor Model. In entrepreneurship, entrepreneur’s personality can be reflected in their action, activity, and behaviour in certain space such as traveling to find raw resources in certain distance or their decision on size of the shop. Using in-depth observation and examination of this behaviour, there are several spatial elements that could lead to the possibility in implementing spatial measurement in entrepreneur behaviour. However, there is a scarcity of research and implementation of the spatial measurement on entrepreneur behaviour, even though it is already acknowledged that space influences human behaviour and vice versa human behaviour has an impact on space. Thus, this article aims to highlight the possibility of implementing spatial measurement in entrepreneur behaviour and current exploration of spatial measurement for human behaviours.

This research examines social entrepreneur competencies and the ability to create value through social innovation, which affect sustainability in Thai social enterprises. The study used questionnaires administered to 200 social enterprises registered with the Social Enterprise Promotion Office. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that social entrepreneur competencies had the highest overall mean among causal factors, while sustainability in social entrepreneur groups had a high mean level. The study found that visionary leadership was the strongest indicator of social entrepreneur competencies, marketing innovation was the strongest indicator of innovation capability, and environmental performance was the strongest indicator of sustainability outcomes. Social entrepreneur competencies strongly influenced the ability to create value through social innovation (β = 0.972), which in turn significantly affected sustainability outcomes (β = 0.707). The study’s limitations include its cross-sectional nature and its focus solely on registered social enterprises. These findings can guide policy formulation to help enterprises create value through social innovation and achieve sustainable success.

Subject area Social entrepreneurship Study level/applicability The case can be a learning resource for management students and budding entrepreneurs with aspirations for a career in the field of social entrepreneurship. Case overview This case examines the organizational change and dilemmas social entrepreneurs have to face when enterprises grow. The organization under study “Action for Children Today” (ACT) aimed to help under privileged children. The organization was the brain child of young, energetic, media professional Ananthi Subramanian. Ananthi had never dreamt of being a social entrepreneur, but her mission of inclusion for underprivileged orphans in mainstream society by educating and inculcating skills, took her towards a new life and career. The endeavour began as a shelter for homeless children, but Ananthi came across other issues faced by the children, so new ventures were added under the umbrella of ACT. Although it was never an easy journey, Ananthi’s commitment kept her motivated to work for the cause and the organization that started with just one child has been home to more than 300 children up to the present day. ACT had its share of ups and downs through its journey and the case is based on certain issues and challenges that the organization had to face and how it overcame those hurdles. Expected learning outcomes Expected learning outcomes are as follows: a better understanding of different forms of social entrepreneurship; an understanding of problems and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs; and an understanding of how to implement new business models.

Full textAbstract:
A social entrepreneur is an individual that creates a company to generate social value. Social entrepreneurs tend to develop these initiatives because they have a strong social orientation. The reason why people have a stronger or weaker social orientation has been analyzed through the lens of different subjects, among biological, social, and behavioral sciences. However, the literature does not agree about which variables influence individuals to have more or less social orientation. We investigated which variables influence the entrepreneur’s social orientation by using a large sample of individuals (n = 176,460) in 59 countries. Our results show that an entrepreneur’s social orientation is stronger for women, more educated, and older people. The economic development of the country moderates these relationships among the social orientation, gender, and education level of the individual. We found that the individual’s social orientation increases at the same rate as the country’s development level.

Full textAbstract:
The intensity and severe impact of carbon emissions on the environment has been witnessed globally. This study aims to unravel how environmental factors, personal factors, and entrepreneur outcome expectations affect entrepreneur low-carbon emission behavior (LCB) through the lens of social cognitive theory (SCT). To achieve the aims of this study, we gathered data from 1015 entrepreneurs and small, medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Jiangsu province of China to analyze the predictors of entrepreneur low-carbon behavior. The proposed relationships were tested using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings from the study indicate that environmental factors (i.e., climate change (CC), public media (PM), and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have a significant and positive relationship with entrepreneur LCB. Moreover, entrepreneur green production self-efficacy (GPS) is positively associated with entrepreneur LCB. The findings further revealed that entrepreneur personal concepts such as entrepreneur self-monitoring (SM), entrepreneur self-esteem (SE), and entrepreneur self-Preference (SP) significantly and completely affect entrepreneur GPS. Likewise, entrepreneur moral reflectiveness (EMR) substantially moderates the relationship between entrepreneur green production outcome expectation and LCB. This study concludes with recommendations for researchers interested in enhancing knowledge in this field. In summation, this study shows that a behavioral science viewpoint is critical for improving knowledge of low-carbon environment, CC drivers, mitigation strategies, and sustainable transition to our complex environment.

Full textAbstract:
An entrepreneur is an individual who produces goods and services by bringing together the factors of production systematically and consciously. Entrepreneurs take risks to make a profit. A social entrepreneur is a social leader who develops and implements practical solutions to social problems by taking advantage of innovations, original approaches and opportunities. The primary purpose of the social entrepreneur is not to make money. Since the profit made in social enterprises is used above all to achieve the main social goals, the profit generated is a means to the realization of the social mission, not an end. Nowadays, social entrepreneurship will develop with the increase in the number of sensitive young people who want to solve a social problem in the new generation. For the development of social entrepreneurship, children can be taught from a very young age how to develop an idea and solve a problem that needs to be solved. Although there are many examples of entrepreneurial children, not every entrepreneur child has to be a child entrepreneur. It is much more important to develop the necessary minds and skills of children. Care should be taken to ensure that children are happy first, and that they are raised as good people who know the meaning of adding value. While talking about the "entrepreneurial child" issue, the focus should not be on money and it should be discussed what can be done to increase the number of happy children who are sensitive to social issues. The aim of the study is to investigate social entrepreneurship and what can be done for the development of social entrepreneurship in children and young people. Differences related concept of social entrepreneurship, studies on social entrepreneurship in Turkey, applications and the development of social entrepreneurship personality, the factors in the development of entrepreneur children has been evaluated using literature. This study investigates the socially entrepreneurial behavior of children and young people.

<strong>Résumé </strong> L'identification et la résolution de problèmes sociaux est l’objectif principal des initiatives d’« Entrepreneuriat social ». La réussite et la pérennité de ces initiatives nécessite cependant des individus porteurs de changement social qui ont une vision engagée et une forte volonté de faire les affaires autrement. Ces agents de changement, appelés aussi « entrepreneurs sociaux », adoptent une mission de création et de pérennisation de la valeur sociale, en reconnaissant et en recherchant de nouvelles opportunités de servir cette mission. En adoptant un positionnement épistémologique intérprétativiste et à travers une méthodologie qualitative basée sur trois études de cas d’entrepreneurs sociaux marocains œuvrant dans des secteurs différents et ayant choisi des statuts juridiques différents pour leurs entreprises sociales, nous allons essayer, dans cet article, de relever les caractéristiques qui distinguent ces entrepreneurs et voir comment ils se définissent. Les résultats montrent que les entrepreneurs sociaux marocains se caractérisent par leur créativité, persévérance, militantisme, empathie, passion, et leur volonté de créer du changement et de l’impact. Ils se distinguent des entrepreneurs traditionnels par la recherche de changements sociaux et en ayant une motivation sociale d’abord. <strong>Mots clés :</strong> Entrepreneur social, Entrepreneuriat social, définitions, caractéristiques. <strong>Abstract </strong>Identifying and solving social problems is the main goal of "Social Entrepreneurship" initiatives. However, the success and sustainability of these initiatives requires individuals that carry social change, with a committed vision and a strong will to do business differently. These change agents, also called “social entrepreneurs”, adopt a mission of creating and sustaining social value, recognizing and seeking new opportunities to serve this mission. By adopting an interpretativist epistemological positioning and through a qualitative methodology based on three case studies of Moroccan social entrepreneurs working in different sectors and having chosen different legal statuses for their social enterprises, we will try, in this article, to identify the characteristics that distinguish these entrepreneurs and see how they define themselves. The results show that Moroccan social entrepreneurs are characterized by their creativity, perseverance, activism, empathy, passion, and their willingness to create change and impact. They are distinguished from traditional entrepreneurs by seeking social change and by having a social motivation first. <strong>Keywords </strong>: social entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurship, definitions, characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeMany “Divas” despite possessing destructive character traits ironically become successful entrepreneurs thus illustrating an alternative “storied” social construction of entrepreneurship. This influences how female entrepreneurs are perceived in the popular press and can be manipulated as an alternative entrepreneurial reality. The purpose of this paper is to build upon research into entrepreneurial identity introducing the “Diva” concept.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative methodological approach involves an analysis of biographies of famous Diva's to identify common themes; and an internet trawl to identify supplementary micro‐biographies and newspaper articles on “Divas”. This tripartite approach allows rich data to be collected permitting a comparative analysis.FindingsThis empirical paper presents the socially constructed nature of entrepreneurial narrative and the “Diva storyline” demonstrating the influence of journalistic licence upon how successful women are portrayed. The paper adds incremental credence to power of male‐dominated journalistic practices to vilify enterprising behaviour to sell newspapers.Research limitations/implicationsAn obvious limitation to the work is that the sample of articles and biographies selected were chosen via search parameters which mention the word “Diva”. Nevertheless, there is scope for further “more detailed” research into the phenomenon to flesh out the model built in this preliminary paper.Practical implicationsAn important implication for scholars and journalists is the need to reconsider how we tell and decode entrepreneur stories. As researchers, we need to recognise that there are other avenues for women to become entrepreneurs than to become businesswomen and that it is alright for women to reject the “entrepreneur” label.Originality/valueThis paper informs our understanding of the socially constructed nature of how we tell, understand and appreciate entrepreneur stories. It thus makes a unique contribution by illustrating that the storylines which constitute the “Diva cycle” are constructed from the same storylines that we associate with entrepreneur stories but narrated in a different order. It provides another heuristic device for understanding the social construction of gendered entrepreneurial identities making it of interest to feminist scholars of entrepreneurship and to social constructionists alike.

Este artigo objetiva analisar o perfil do Empreendedor Social (ES) no Brasil, e as diferenças em destaque com o tipificado Empreendedor voltado para o Mercado (EM). Foram utilizados os dados secundários obtidos junto ao GEM Adult Population Survey (APS) 2015/16. A amostra foi constituída por 2000 empresários adultos em atividade, escolhidos de forma probabilística com base no censo brasileiro e, posteriormente, separados em dois grupos, conforme proposto no objetivo. A fim de explorar as diferenças entre estes dois grupos se empregou o teste do qui-quadrado para amostras independentes não paramétricas, utilizando o software SPSS v.25. Os resultados apresentam o perfil dos empreendedores sociais analisados sob as dimensões Atitudes e Percepções Empreendedoras; Atividade Empreendedora e Aspirações Empreendedoras. Apesar de constituir uma pequena parcela empresarial brasileira se concluiu que o empreendedor social se diferencia do empreendedor para o negócio em relação as suas características de conhecimento e habilidade para o negócio social, de analisar e assumir os riscos calculados e proporcionar ideias inovadoras. Ao avaliar o perfil do empreendedor social brasileiro se espera ampliar o conhecimento acadêmico e de negócio, ao identificar os aspectos que diferenciam os empreendedores sociais dos empreendedores voltados para o mercado, possibilitando o delineamento de estudos futuros sobre a temática apresentada.

 AbstractSocial entrepreneurship is seen as a hybrid form of entrepreneurship, in which the social value promotion and development is prioritized versus the economic value capture. This article aims to analyze the Social Entrepreneur’s profile (SE) in Brazil, and the differences highlighted with the typified Market-oriented Entrepreneur (ME). Secondary data from the GEM Adult Population Survey (APS) 2015/16 were used. The sample consisted of 2000 active adult entrepreneurs, selected in a probabilistic manner based on the Brazilian census and later separated into two groups, as proposed in the objective. In order to explore the differences between these two groups, the chi-square test was used for nonparametric independent samples using the SPSS v.25 software. The results present the social entrepreneurs’s profile analyzed under the dimensions Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Perceptions; Entrepreneurial Activity and Entrepreneurial Aspirations. Despite constituting a small portion of Brazilian business, it was concluded that the social entrepreneur differs from the market-oriented entrepreneur in terms of knowledge and skill for social business, to analyze and take calculated risks and provide innovative ideas. By assessing the Brazilian social entrepreneur’s profile, it is expected to broaden academic and business knowledge by identifying the aspects that differentiate social entrepreneurs from market-oriented entrepreneurs, enabling the design of future studies on the theme presented.

Purpose This study aims to construct an integrated social entrepreneur system in the rural area of Hengshan, Taiwan, that could benefit four stakeholders, namely, tourists, business, community and government. Two social entrepreneur cases demonstrate a mutually beneficial situation of lowering the structural unemployment rate, returning young human capital to villages and innovating rural tourism through the activism of service science. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative approach was applied to data obtained from 12 research projects spanning three years. Service experience engineering (SEE) methods were used to conduct a service design for social entrepreneurs in an integrated service system. The service system aimed to innovate rural tourism through the activism of service science. Findings SEE methods explain a series of service design processes that helped our research team start up two social entrepreneur projects as service prototypes to offer service innovation based on cultural creativity to innovate rural tourism. These two social entrepreneurs in rural tourism offer job opportunities to young people and senior citizens alike. In addition, an integrated service system of interdisciplinary knowledge, multi-stakeholders and local resources fulfills various requirements of stakeholders to promote sustainable rural tourism. Research limitations/implications Real action studies are limited in the research on social entrepreneurs. This case study provides research insights into service science and calls for action in practice to change the future of a local village. The results provide the philosophy and knowledge of service science that social entrepreneurs of rural tourism can use in the village. Designing service innovation for rural tourism has shaped its vision toward a sustainable tourism system. Originality/value Few studies have shown that social entrepreneurs could innovate rural tourism. The present study presents an action case through the activism of service science.

One such practice is to organize charitable activities to benefit the community through the gains made from entrepreneurial activities that are based on social mission and vision. The research problem is lacking of model on Islamic social entrepreneurship. The main objective of this paper is to develop a Model of Islamic Social Entrepreneurship based on successful Muslim social entrepreneur in Malaysia. The research method used in this study is literature review, content analysis, and interview with 14 participants constituting nine successful Muslim social entrepreneurs and five experts with religious academic backgrounds participated in the study. The research finding shows that model of Islamic social entrepreneurship is the major contribution of the study which could serve as guidelines for successful Muslim social entrepreneurs, particularly young entrepreneurs.

This paper examines rural social entrepreneurship program in rural Malaysia communities. The program seeks to promote and turn rural entrepreneurs into social entrepreneurs by strengthening their economic activities and enhancing social capital. This paper focuses on a component of the rural entrepreneur program (REP), namely the Social Entrepreneur Club (SEC). The club runs the rural entrepreneur program and upholds the program’s objectives. It promotes the socialization of rural communities by engaging them in entrepreneurial activities. The club operates under the Rural Internet Centre (RIC); a telecentre that provides space for rural communities to enhance their ICT knowledge and skills. However, despite the opportunity provided, some of the rural entrepreneurs do not show adequate interest in the program as they prefer being entrepreneurs, but not social entrepreneurs. Thus, the success of the SECs depends on the entrepreneurs’ participation in the program, the geographical locations and the support from the telecentre managers. This paper employs the economic gardening concept and community informatics approach to empirically gather evidence to test the theory on ICT for development; particularly rural development for rural communities. A quantitative method has been used to measure the implications of ICT in this program. Data from the entrepreneurs is obtained through an online survey which has been conducted across the varying regions in Malaysia. The quantitative data is supported by interviews (qualitative method) with telecentre managers. The primary data has been triangulated to analyze the results. The key findings show that the SEC is seen as economic development strategy by creating jobs, as well as increasing income and business opportunities. It also strengthens social networking needed to build social capital within and outside of the rural communities. Hence SEC is also a community connector and can be used as an indicator on the quality of rural communities’ wellbeing.
