About

‘Shaping Social Enterprise’ offers the first tested framework that helps identify institutional influences affecting social enterprise. For well over a decade, scholars and practitioners have known that social enterprise looks different in different contexts but few have attempted to understand why. Kerlin’s work in this area is the first to consider the influence of large institutions such as government, economy, civil society, and culture on the development of social enterprise. This book provides an in-depth assessment of Kerlin’s theoretically-based framework for understanding these institutional and other influences by means of quantitative analysis as well as qualitative critiques from eight countries that help validate and refine it. The concluding chapter offers a revision of the framework based on the critiques. New features include more attention to culture and micro- and meso-level forces as well as the introduction of optional framework components that address rarely occurring country situations. Two new social enterprise country models are also added and new applications of the framework are detailed.

Editor Janelle A. Kerlin unites international contributors in social enterprise, social innovation, public governance, social entrepreneurship, public management, public policy, sociology, and social work. The first two chapters offer an introduction to the macro-institutional social enterprise framework and a quantitative assessment of Kerlin’s macro-institutional social enterprise framework. Next, country chapters on South Korea, China, Romania, Spain, Chile, Sweden, Zambia, and Australia give examples of different models, manifestations, and outcomes of social enterprise. The conclusion considers ideas for revising the macro-institutional social enterprise framework. The book will be of interest to policy makers, funders, and social entrepreneurs.
