Incremental Form

There is a need for competition and having a competitive advantage for every enterprise. Moreover, a social enterprise is expected to maintain itself and expand exponentially through innovation and the application of technology. The need to survive implies the need for social innovation within the organizations. When the organization's goal is established, which is the prerequisite for starting a social enterprise, innovation aims to solve the problem. Innovation is a learning outcome that manifests itself into new product features, new products, or production methods. Social innovation is an incremental form of innovation because it emerges from the social needs of a community. The kind of innovation produced is oriented towards the community to provide a solution to their problem. Social enterprises have worked tirelessly to create solutions to the social issues that specific communities are facing. The findings in this research highlight intellectual capital as one of the most fundamental assets in a social enterprise. When discussed in terms of its three branches, intellectual capital's performance of social enterprises is significantly improved.   Received: 8 July 2021 / Accepted: 19 August 2021 / Published: 5 September 2021

Taiwan's aboriginal tribes have long been affected by political forces and market economy model, and the aboriginal people living in remote mountainous areas with lack of information have met with a lot of economic and social problems and challenges such as loss of land and traditional culture, aging population and stagnation of tribal industry development. Therefore, the original self-sufficient tribes began to prone to “poverty”, and this is one of the most critical social issues for Taiwan to cope with.

Socially sustainable development can be driven by individuals, entrepreneurs, growing start-ups, and international companies. As social entrepreneurs, people opt for a form of organization that contributes to social improvement through entrepreneurial means. The question is: How do they do it? The resource dependence approach (RDA) assumes that all decisions and activities of a (social) enterprise are based on information about its environment. Therefore, the four key components of the social enterprise (individual, organization, social innovation, market orientation) must be appropriate. In this chapter, therefore, social enterprises are outlined as active participants and shapers of the economy and society. Since an active improvement with regard to socially sustainable development is focused by the social enterprises in Africa, a description of the social enterprise's environment is also given within the framework of topical focuses. The goal is to derive recommendations about action for social enterprises to achieve their goals.

Nonstate actors such as social enterprises are increasingly influential for addressing pressing social needs in sub-Saharan Africa. Moving responsibility from the state to private entrepreneurs calls for a greater understanding of how single individuals achieve their social mission in a context characterized by acute poverty and where informal institutions, such as trust and collective norms, are strong governance mechanisms. This study recognizes the role of leader passion as a key element for gaining people’s trust in the social enterprise leader and the social mission. Qualitative data were collected on 37 leaders of Nigerian social enterprises in arenas such as health, women’s rights, children’s rights, AIDS/HIV care and education, and sustainable development. Drawing on 100 semistructured interviews, the authors develop an inductive model illustrating how leader passion interrelates with the social enterprise organizing and outcomes.

Europe is facing unprecedented challenges, from globalisation to migratory flows, changing family structures, ageing populations, inequality and social exclusion, unemployment, and so on. To meet these challenges, we need to modernise EU social protection systems by expanding the social investment dimension of social spending, while taking advantage of technological advancements and multi-stakeholder partnerships to drive change in the welfare system. Within this context, this chapter focuses on the role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled social enterprises for promoting social investment. First, we outline the social enterprise landscape in Europe, going beyond fuzzy concepts to highlight the key characteristics of social enterprises that make them important for social change. Second, we outline key ways in which social enterprises are using ICT in their activities to achieve varied socio-economic goals: from using social media to scale up, to improving organisational management, and expanding service offerings in healthcare, education, the labour market, and other social fields. Our analysis is based on findings from our study on the role of social enterprises in delivering ICT enabled social innovation initiatives promoting social investment approaches, carried out by the authors in the framework of the European Commission’s ICT-Enabled Social Innovation (IESI) project. (See https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/iesi.) We find that ICT-enabled social enterprises are particularly important for social investment, given their ability to combine technological and social innovation, and their focus on meeting community-specific needs that can be scaled up. We encourage research and policy commitments to further test and validate how social enterprises can catalyse public-private partnerships for the delivery of public goods to safeguard our Social Europe.

In order to successfully accomplish the social and business mission, social enterprises need to identify the appropriate elements of resources that affect their performance since the management of resources is important to ensure the effectiveness of social enterprise. Thus, this study aims to examine the role of intellectual capital, in terms of human capital, structural capital and relational capital on the effectiveness of social enterprise which is represented by the financial viability. Information on the financial viability and intellectual capital were obtained from the content analysis of the annual reports of 210 social enterprises registered under the Registry of Societies (ROS) in Malaysia for the financial period 2010. The results from the statistical analysis revealed that on average, most of the social enterprises in Malaysia would be able to financially sustain in the future. Based on the multivariate analysis, the results highlighted that human capital has a significant positive influence on the financial viability of social enterprise while structural capital and relational capital do not have significant positive relationship with the financial viability of social enterprise. Overall, the findings concluded that human capital was the most influential factor in enabling the effectiveness of social enterprise.

Efforts have been made to improve the performance of social enterprises through many studies on social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship. However, previous studies have conceptualized social entrepreneurship based on researches on commercial entrepreneurs. In addition, the scale used in the analysis of social entrepreneurship focuses primarily on behavioral aspects. Although the social and economic values pursued by social enterprises are important virtues for social entrepreneurs, research on the value orientation of social entrepreneurship is insufficient. The essence of a social enterprise is creating social value based on financial sustainability, so the concept of blended value has been recently emphasized. This study analyzed the relationships among blended value orientation, social entrepreneurship, and the performance of social enterprises. The results indicate that the blended value orientation of social entrepreneurs influenced social entrepreneurship and performance; social entrepreneurship fully mediated blended value orientation and performance. These findings suggest that it is important to focus on the blended value orientation of social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship in the promotion and policies of social enterprises.
