DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book discusses social entrepreneurship, especially in context of India. It focuses on understanding the whole process of social value creation, i.e. social entrepreneurship - opportunity identification, resource mobilisation, social value, capabilities of social entrepreneurs and innovation in three different types of social enterprises – (i) non-profit or charitable ones; (ii) non-profit social enterprise, sustainable with the combined income of grants, subsidies and own earned income; self-sustainable not-for-profit social enterprise; and hybrid social enterprise; and (iii) for-profit social enterprises. Sample cases of social entrepreneurs (Ashoka Fellows) were selected from three inter-linked sectors -- health, education and livelihood. To provide a comprehensive view, interviews were taken not only from the founders (social entrepreneurs), management personnel, and other employees, but also from the beneficiaries. The book comprises how, on the basis of cross-comparison between three types of social enterprises, several propositions and finally theoretical framework on social entrepreneurship have been developed. It proposes that social entrepreneurship can be acquired and that these social entrepreneurs can help solve the larger social problems faced both by developing and developed nations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMaster's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: The rise of Generation Z in German society will impact many companies' management levels, as young entrepreneurs will increasingly determine the German economy. Accordingly, managers and companies' demands will change, as Generation Z stands for change and social innovation and wants to realize this in the workplace and combine business with social added value. In this work, basic knowledge in Social Entrepreneurship and Generation Z will first be conveyed to name the respective success factors. In the further course, it will be made clear that German society's framework conditions and the economy have a strong influence on the fact that social enterprises' founding faces obstacles. Accordingly, an approach that enables the realization of Generation Z's professional and social goals within an employee model is essential. Due to this, further theoretical knowledge about Intrapreneurship and Social Intrapreneurship will be given in the further course of the thesis. Despite extensive research, no existing Social Intrapreneurship model can be found, which is why an existing model for innovation activities is used. A new concept for implementing Social Intrapreneurship in existing companies is developed and explained based on the knowledge gained and success factors, and areas that have not been sufficiently considered in the literature are implemented and presented. Social Intrapreneurship will meet the requirements and expectations of employees and Generation Z in the future to keep the German economy innovative and emphasize the social aspect.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides professionals, as well as students, with the understanding that Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are now core business principles for sustainably. It encourages social entrepreneurs in their role as forerunners, in creating new business models that develop, facilitate or implement constructive solutions to social, cultural and environmental issues. At the same time, this book views corporate social responsibility as a means of challenging existing entities to realize and modify prior unsustainable and predatory business models; and to increase social, cultural and environmental accountability. By linking these two concepts, this book prompts a paradigmatic awakening, whereby the foundational driver of business creation and management no longer rests on profit maximization, but on improvement of the quality of life for society.
