Abstract

Regardless of the bubbling social entrepreneurship research, a generally accepted concept for this term. In fact, the current limited conceptual framework undermines the bases of this entrepreneurship and hinders rigorous scientific progress in this area of study. In this paper, the authors attempt to fix the conceptual framework of the social enterprise, for which we have opted for an integrated, broad open view of the concept, given the heterogeneous nature of its agents and its continuous evolution, as well as the type of social enterprises that may be inferred from it. They close by exploring the keys to success of these enterprises, certain specific factors of which only a few are shared by traditional enterprises. By applying a qualitative and quantitative methodology, which they triangulate, this analysis is implemented for Extremadura (Spain), a region that embarks on fostering social entrepreneurship based on the current view in a territory with a thin social enterprise network.
