Social sciences research studies the interactions between human behavior, societal influences and culture. Entrepreneurship is a particular type of social science that studies how to build and sustain businesses that meet the needs of the society. It is an effective tool that has the potential to transform entire communities, industries and the world.
A business that makes a positive impact on the community provides entrepreneurs with a sense of satisfaction and purpose in their work. They can also leave a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Whether it’s changing the way we shop, ensuring more access to education and healthcare, or addressing inequality and poverty around the world, entrepreneurs can make an incredible impact through their businesses.
Entrepreneurs often engage in social entrepreneurial (SEE) by finding a need and then developing innovative solutions to meet the demand. This may include leveraging their business experience and connections to expand into new market or working with partners to create more sustainable products. This could involve philanthropy in the sense that they wish to support the cause that is important to them.
Academics who are part of SEE can build upon their research findings by sharing them through the publications of their institutions which are an essential tool for promoting the dissemination of knowledge. This will encourage collaboration between industry and academia, as well as aid in the development of entrepreneurial culture. SSRN’s Entrepreneurship Collection includes scholarly articles on the theories and concepts of entrepreneurship, as well in how these concepts connect to law, management, economics, and public policy.
