Should We Require Every New Venture to Be a Hybrid Organization?

Critics of entrepreneurial capitalism have argued that entrepreneurship creates dysfunction in individuals, families, communities, and society because entrepreneurs neglect social and environmental dimensions of value in favour of financial value creation. By way of contrast, hybrid organizations, such as Benefit Corporations, are created explicitly to address social and environmental objectives in addition to their financial objective. Therefore, in this paper we explore the consequences of a world of blended value in which every new venture is required to be a hybrid organization. In doing so, we reveal the boundary conditions of current social criticism levied against entrepreneurship and suggest that blended value may best be relegated to the role of ideal or guideline as opposed to normative or legal obligation.     

基于可持续发展理念视角的企业社会责任

在全球化的背景下,企业社会责任的潮流已不可逆转。企业由经济人到社会人的转变,早超越了一种简单的身份变更模式,而是一种从理念至行为、彻头彻尾的蜕变。企业以责任财富观来力促内部经济与外部经济,通过自觉地履行经济责任、法律责任、道德责任和慈善责任,进而促进社会的可持续发展。但在看不见的手的引导下,一些企业往往会抵不住利益的诱惑,用自身的永续发展换取一时的经济效益,同时也给整个社会造成了极大的不和谐。本文基于可持续发展的理念,从福利经济学、社会责任会计学、企业所得税法和博弈论四个视角对企业社会责任进行分析,并为企业社会责任的履行和可持续发展的保障提出相关建议。

Sustainable corporate entrepreneurship

Corporate entrepreneurship has, for a number of decades, been viewed as one approach for generating growth through new product, process, market, or strategy innovation. More recently, and largely in response to rising costs and stakeholder concerns, managers have begun to pay increasing attention to issues of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. This paper demonstrates how sustainability can be embedded into a corporate entrepreneurship framework. In addition, managers who embrace sustainability principles are providing a stimulus for corporate entrepreneurship that may result in the discovery or creation, assessment, and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities, an enhanced reputation, and, ultimately, a competitive advantage.
