Social sciences research focuses on the interactions between human behavior along with the influence of society on culture. Entrepreneurship is a type of social science that studies how people can establish and sustain businesses to satisfy the needs of society. It is an effective force that can transform industries, communities, and the entire world.
Entrepreneurs who run a business that makes a positive difference in the community feel fulfilled and feel they have a sense of purpose. They also leave a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs. The possibilities are endless, whether it’s changing the way we shop, ensuring greater access to healthcare and education or addressing inequality and poverty in the world entrepreneurs can make a huge impact with their ventures.
Entrepreneurs typically engage in social entrepreneurial (SEE) by identifying a need and developing innovative solutions to meet that need. This can involve leveraging their existing business knowledge and relationships to expand into new markets, or working with partners to develop more sustainable products. This could even include philanthropy, as they seek to promote a cause that is meaningful to them.
Academics who are part of SEE are able to expand their research by sharing it with the publications of their institutions which is a crucial instrument to encourage knowledge sharing. This will encourage collaboration between industry and academia and also help to develop entrepreneurial cultures. SSRN’s Entrepreneurship Collection contains scholarly articles that discuss the underlying theories and concepts of entrepreneurialism and how they relate to management and law economics, public check policy and economics.
