As donor financial support decreases, ending the HIV epidemic in Asia will require novel and sustainable approaches. Social innovation, a community-engaged process that links social change and health improvement, may be useful for helping to end the HIV epidemic in Asia. A scoping review to examine social innovation strategies in sexual health for the Asian region was conducted. The research identified focused on three types of social innovation: (1) microfinance; (2) social entrepreneurship; and (3) social enterprise. Microfinance provides financial opportunities (e.g. banking services, job opportunities) to spur local entrepreneurship and healthier behaviours. Social entrepreneurship uses business principles and tools (e.g. crowdsourcing, human-centred design) to improve health. Social enterprise is a business with a social mission. Further research is needed to measure the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of social innovation strategies in improving HIV services.

In this paper the authors mainly aim at describing some organizational features of a particular kind of social enterprises that have emerged since the development of web 2.0: peer to peer charities and e-social banking. They will define first the traditional social enterprise and how this phenomenon has evolved in recent years. Then they will explain how the philosophy of Web 2.0 offers new opportunities for the development and growth of these social initiatives. Thirdly, they will detail their main features obtained from the study of twelve inititatives – the most relevant at present – which they have called 2.0 social enterprises (peer to peer charities and e-social banking). The authors will finally offer some reflection on main dilemmas and challenges that could be faced in a short term future.

Background: Cancer is one of the most pressing social issues within the contemporary world, affecting all segments of the global population, however despite its importance, the research literature in regard to social entrepreneurship and social innovation within the field of cancer control is scarce. Aim: Because of this reason, the researcher decided to develop his Master Thesis in Social Entrepreneurship and Management at Roskilde University through a case study research focused on the characteristics and dynamics of social innovation and scaling when applied within the context of cancer control activities, with a particular focus on resource generation and fund raising. The Majlis Kanser Nasional (National Cancer Council; MAKNA) is an organization that since 1995 is dedicated to the task of preventing, treating and reducing the burden of cancer among the most vulnerable populations, first in Malaysia and since 2011 also in Vietnam. Currently MAKNA benefits more than 10,000 cancer patients every year based on a structure of near 200 employees and 400 active volunteers. The organization has constantly figured out ways to keep innovating by expanding its pool of programs and benefits, additionally its distinctive approach combining both charity fund raising and social enterprise operations to ensure a diversified and sustainable resource generation model, makes MAKNA a worthy subject of study. Methods: For this study, the researcher have chosen to follow a phenomenological - hermeneutic approach applying a mixed method research based on interviews, participant observations and document analysis. All this based on a theoretical framework building on the model proposed by Johanna Mair and Christian Seelos from Stanford University in “Innovation and Scaling for Impact” (2017) regarding social entrepreneurship, social innovation and scaling as well complementary notions from diverse authors regarding the concepts of hybridity and cross-sector partnerships. The study took place between June 2017 and March 2018 in Malaysia and Vietnam, including 20 interviews with employees, volunteers, patients, partners and other stakeholders. Additionally it comprises 6 participant observation of the organizations activities and the analysis of over 50 different documents and reports.

Purpose – Sweden, and many other countries, has, during the twentieth century, developed a rather large public sector providing social welfare services to citizens. Only to a small extent were private for- or nonprofit organizations providing these services. During the last decade we have seen a shift towards more services being provided by private for- and nonprofit actors. This shift means that roles are reconsidered, renegotiated and reconstructed. In this debate social entrepreneurship, social enterprises and innovation are emphasized. The aim of this paper is to problematize and analyze how social entrepreneurship and social enterprises relate to public sector management and governance. Design/methodology/approach – In the paper theories on (social) entrepreneurship and innovation is combined with theories focusing on welfare structures. Empirically, the analysis is based on the current policy development in Sweden and five social entrepreneurship initiatives. Findings – The analysis discloses the relationship between the public sector and social entrepreneurship as negotiation of emerging social enterprise markets in which aspects as the creation of value, dependencies and innovation are emphasized. Even if the study has a geographical focus both theoretical contributions and implications for policy and practice can be of use also in other contexts. Originality/value – Through combining social entrepreneurship with welfare services and public management this empirically based study contributes both to problematize and align the emerging field of social innovation.

This study had three objectives: to discover the main concepts and theories used in research around entrepreneurship; systematize the entrepreneurial process in a model that allows teaching it more efficiently, and substantiate the model by applying it to various social entrepreneurship projects. To this end, a systematic scoping review was carried out to identify the main concepts, theories, and processes, which constitute the six crucial building blocks to someone could be successful as a(n) (social) intra/entrepreneur. Then, a design-science approach led us to use real social innovation and social entrepreneurship cases to evaluate the constructs and the model. Consequently, it is concluded that all concepts, theories and models identified can be classified as external factors (Context and Resources), internal factors (Objectives and entrepreneurial Will) and achievements (Action and Impact). The CROWAI model fits well with the data obtained on 465 innovation and social entrepreneurship projects. Thus, this model presents a more comprehensive approach, applicable to all profitable or social intra/entrepreneurship situations, allowing this new conceptual arrangement to be more easily taught. Additionally, it makes sense to use the term ‘social’ in innovation and intra/entrepreneurship because it has excellent defining power of the scope one wants to achieve with human endeavours. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-01-02 Full Text: PDF
