Abstract: | Social entrepreneurship activity continues to surge tremendously in market and economic systems around the world. Yet, social
entrepreneurship theory and understanding lag far behind its practice. For instance, the nature of the entrepreneurial discovery
phenomenon, a critical area of inquiry in general entrepreneurship theory, receives no attention in the specific context of
social entrepreneurship. To address the gap, we conceptualize social entrepreneurial discovery based on an extension of corporate
social responsibility into social entrepreneurship contexts. We develop a model that emphasizes mobilization and timing as
underpinnings of social entrepreneurial discovery and offer distinct conceptual aspects and theoretic propositions instrumental
to future social entrepreneurship research. |
