A Study on Typology of Social Entrepreneurship: Motivation, Mission and Challenges, Critics

Abstract

The field of social entrepreneurship has sparked a lot of focus as a way to solve societal issues and strengthen communities and societies. Recent studies have begun to advance the development of this emerging new field by attempting to identify the development of social entrepreneurship and correlating that to the previous organizational activity of that kind as traditional entrepreneurship. This research provides an overall view of social entrepreneurs' motivations and missions, as well as the challenges and critiques they encounter in developing countries like India, wherein entrepreneurship is considered the most valuable asset to foster and stimulate. This study is conceptual in nature and analyses the aspects of social entrepreneurship in the realm of study, as well as proposing a range of research areas and research problems for further investigation.
