What is it about?
Social entrepreneurship is a new business model that aims to be profitable but yet keep its focus on a social mission. Using the results from a descriptive case study, the authors develop a novel method to combine traditional stakeholder power, urgency, and legitimacy attributes with the stakeholder social issue valences. This method allows the social entrepreneur to map out and prioritize their stakeholders in an easy to conceptualize view.
