Social sciences research examines the interaction between human behavior as well as the influence of society and the culture. Entrepreneurship is one type of social science which studies the ways that people can develop and sustain businesses that meet the demands of society. It is an incredibly powerful force that has the potential to transform communities, industries, and the world at large.
Entrepreneurs who build a business that makes a positive difference in the community feel fulfilled and have a sense purpose. They also leave a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs can make an enormous difference, whether by changing the way that people shop, enhancing access to education and healthcare or tackling global poverty and inequality.
Entrepreneurs typically engage in social entrepreneurship (SEE) by identifying a need and developing innovative solutions to meet the need. This could involve leveraging their business experience and connections to expand into new markets or working with partners to develop more sustainable products. This could even include philanthropy as they attempt to support a cause that is important to them.
Academics who are part of SEE can benefit from their research results by sharing them through their institutions’ publications, which are an important instrument for encouraging the diffusion of knowledge. This can help foster collaboration between industry and academia as well as help develop entrepreneurial culture. SSRN’s Entrepreneurship Collection includes scholarly articles on the underlying theories and concepts of entrepreneurship, as in how these concepts connect to law, management economics, public policy.
