註釋
Social entrepreneurship has been defined as an innovative, social value creating business activity that can occur within or across the non-profit, business, or government sectors, and the leaders of those enterprises, the “social entrepreneurs”, have been characterized as being primarily interested in improving society rather than maximizing profits while nonetheless demanding high performance standards and accountability for results. Social entrepreneurs can be found taking on a range of education, poverty, health, environmental and well-being issues. This chapter discusses various definitions and conceptualizations of social entrepreneurship and how social entrepreneurship can be differentiated from commercial entrepreneurship. The chapter also discusses the qualities of social enterprises and the dimensions for measuring social impact such as the type of impact on persons and organizations, which can include outputs or outcomes (e.g., incomes, treatment of works, community and environment); the scale of impact, which takes into account the number of people or organizations affected; and the depth of impact, which includes the amount or intensity of positive change in well-being subjectively experienced by the affected people or organizations.
