Abstract

The primary motivation for social enterprises arises from the persistency of problems in society related to poverty and persons living in marginalized communities. Social entrepreneurs seek to address externalities by adopting the role of change agents who recognize and pursue opportunities to create and sustain unique solutions to social problems. Over the years, social entrepreneurship has emerged as a distinctive context and area of business practice and research. However, current research lacks a cohesive and integrated conceptual framework. The purpose of this paper is to review and extend the current literature by developing an integrated model of social entrepreneurship.
