Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship

What Is Entrepreneurship?

Process of creating value by bringing together a unique package of resources to exploit an opportunity.

What Is Social Entrepreneurship?

Process of creating value by bringing together a unique package of resources to exploit an opportunity, in pursuit of high social returns.


·         A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change….rather than bringing a concept to market to address a consumer problem, social entrepreneurs attempt to bring a concept to market to address a public problem.     
·         Social entrepreneurship takes many forms, but at it’s core is characterized by a leaders’ sense of social consciousness and a desire to make a positive impact on society
·         Social entrepreneurs combine innovation, entrepreneurship, and social purpose and seek to be financially sustainable by generating revenue from trading
·         The primary difference between Commercial Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship is not the entrepreneurial process, but the denomination of the rewards (from the created value) sought

·         Exhibit heightened sense of accountability to those served for outcomes and their impact
