Defining Social Entrepreneurship

| 5 Comments

By Keren G. Raz, 2008 Fellow, NYU Law

There's a discussion taking place on the following website about how to define social entrepreneurship: http://whiteafrican.com/2009/09/01/social-entrepreneurs-and-socap-09/comment-page-1/#comment-154490

Yul-San Liem, a 2009 fellow, found a very interesting article that also included a definition of social entrepreneurship that I like...and it's also concrete enough to make sense to those who do not like buzz words or abstract vocabulary.

The definition is: Social entrepreneurship is the use of business to achieve social gain, as well as financial gain.

Here's the link to the article: http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/article.php?id=31448
