PurposeThe study aims to test the applicability of a variant of the model proposed by Hockerts (2017) for assessing the social entrepreneurial intention (SEI) of male and female students. It extends the model by incorporating the university's environment and support system (ESS) as an additional more distal construct. The university's ESS, coupled with the experience with social, cultural and environmental issues can affect SEI by influencing the more proximal precursors of empathy towards others, perceived self-efficacy, perceived community support and social, cultural and environmental responsibility.Design/methodology/approachA structured non-disguised questionnaire was administered to students at a Canadian university. A sample of 485 usable responses was analysed by means of second-order structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results provide confirmation that the proposed model is a multi-group invariant and appropriate for analysing the SEI of male and female students. They also show that the university's ESS helps predict SEI indirectly through the complete mediation of the more proximal antecedents.Research limitations/implicationsThe questionnaire is limited to universities with social innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives.Practical implicationsOutcomes of the study can help universities assess the efficacy of their social innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives for instilling a social entrepreneurial mind-set in students. Consequently, universities will be better equipped to raise the perceptions of venture feasibility and desirability, thus increasing students' perceptions of opportunity.Originality/valueThe study advances the social entrepreneurial knowledge of the university's effect on the precursors of SEI.

 ABSTRACTSocial innovation studies are unique studies and are still relatively rare. The study contains that business models from among those who are often marginalized can also be a source of income. In addition, the importance is also that the utilization of resources owned by a region can be a source of competitive advantage when properly managed considering that each region has a different context. This study analyzes the social innovation model in Tegal Waru Village which was originally a poor and underdeveloped village in 2010 but later it can transform into an economically independent village. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods through in-depth interviews and also observations. The selection of informants is based on the criteria that the person understands the business processes carried out and is also a stakeholder of Tegal Waru Tourism Village. The results showed that the Tegal Waru Tourism Village was a village that managed to enhance its natural and human resources so that it became a source of competitive advantage through the establishment of a Business Tourism Village which is still rare in Indonesia. A unique business model is offering entrepreneurship education with a value proposition to educate everyone to become entrepreneurs by relying on the core competencies and resources they have with philosophy hence provide benefits to many people. ABSTRAKKajian social innovation merupakan kajian yang unik dan masih relatif jarang.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a social innovation model and understand the levels of communication of different social actors at different points of a social innovation project (at Hewlett Packard). The paper also looks into the effect of communication networks and power of words in social interaction in social innovation projects. Design/methodology/approach – The paper defines social innovation in the first part and how it differs from social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and social business. The research focusses on the data available through the internet and the papers and articles related to social innovation experience of technology companies. A content analysis of the terminology that is used for social innovation projects during innovation process and the articles published will be the primary source for data analysis in the study. Findings – The study did illuminate the power of certain words that are repeatedly used in e-mails and articles, related to the social innovation which can give researchers an idea about the power of words in social innovation. Research limitations/implications – It is important for human resource managers and innovation leaders to look at innovation from the social motivational process and more strategic perspective rather than just from the science and technology perspective. The study concludes with the development of a model and partnership communication analysis for successful social innovation projects. Originality/value – The research will add value to the area of social innovation by looking into the importance of concepts and words used in social innovation. The study is looking into a new perspective of social marketing which is the power of words in a social innovation project.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is significant for developing human resources in various villages in the current digital era. However, the implementation of ICT has experienced disruption due to the increasing spread of the COVID-19 virus, resulting in a decline in market mechanisms, especially in the Village MSME sector. Therefore, social innovation is needed by social entrepreneurs so that MSMEs can survive and compete with others, as has been done by the Kampung Teknologi Foundation (KTF) through digital literacy to MSMEs in villages. The method in this study used qualitative research using the Social Innovation Model. As a result, in social entrepreneurship communication, KTF carried out three essential stages, 1) Formalization: KTF used Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages as a basis for empowering MSMEs. KTF initiated the empowerment of MSMEs in villages by introducing digital sales using social media, market places, e-commerce, and other digital applications; 2) Change processes: KTF implemented digital sales by initiating the Digital Up program, which is an entrepreneur empowerment program and was implemented after five-year KTF contributes to digital literacy; 3) Social Outcomes: In the application of digital literacy, only 30% of MSMEs have successfully switched to using digital technology. Therefore, good cooperation between one division and another is still needed, such as implementing new programs. It can minimize program failures, and implementing digital literacy can succeed and on target.

Abstract The international literature is paying significant and increasing attention to the analysis of the regions’ innovation potential, and its active contribution to economic growth and competitiveness. Beside the classical, technical innovation, also the social innovation is getting even more emphasis. It can solve as alternative basically in the case of the peripheral territories. The convergence of peripheries is a stressed priority in the European Union. The territorial disparities are resulting in significant social and political problems also in the case of the Visegrad countries’ regions. The authors in their research represent a possible method for the measurement of regional (NUTS-2) level social innovation potential on the example of the Visegrad countries, and they also analyse the causes and consequences of disparities. The applied complex social innovation index can be calculated as a result of three pillars (economic, social, culture and attitude), and several components. As a result of the created patterns can be concluded that compared to the economic indicators, the disadvantage of the peripheries is not so significant in the case of the social innovation index, because of the complex character of the index. In the second part of the research, the authors analyse and evaluate also the methods, which can be adequate for increasing the social innovation potential.
