“Procedure versus practice”: navigating ethical tensions in social entrepreneurship research involving vulnerable people in the developing world

What is it about?

Universities in most developed countries expect researchers to follow ethical standards and protocols prescribed by research ethics committees.

We engage in critical reflexivity to examine these tensions and offer insights into ethical social entrepreneurship research involving vulnerable participants in the developing world.
