It is bringing together non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and members of the business community that look beyond corporate social responsibility (CSR), as both experiment with ways to bring social entrepreneurship into their organizations. There is also a surge of social enterprise start-ups by people who see the opportunities of generating a self-earned income by achieving social impact. But many questions still remain on how to engage in social business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\">The Broker Dossier on Social Entrepreneurship offers insights into the theory, practice and future directions of social entrepreneurship. In this dossier, we aim to help link theory and practice more systematically, improve understanding of how social entrepreneurship can generate a social and economic impact, and promote dialogue on the lessons to be learned from experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\">The dossier therefore critically examines the ambitions of social entrepreneurship to achieve an inclusive economy and the challenges it faces in pursuing them. We also put forward some suggestions for policymakers in NGOs, businesses and government on drafting a knowledge agenda on how social entrepreneurship can be embedded in economic development policies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\">The objective of this dossier is to present an overview of the concept and definitions of social entrepreneurship, compared to many other terms like CSR, shared value creation, and doing business sustainably. It clears the blurred landscape that social entrepreneurship has become by explaining the diversity of social enterprises on the basis of criteria, conditions and categories. A second focus is on the practical level of social entrepreneurship, investigating what business models have been and can be used. Thirdly, the dossier aims to analyse the potential of social entrepreneurs to change the economic and societal system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\"><i>We hope you enjoy reading the dossier and invite you to use the comment tool under each article to share your thoughts on social entrepreneurship.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article\">\n<div class=\"body contents\">\n<div class=\"share\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    var addthis_config = {\n        ui_language = 'en'\n    }\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis sharing\">\n\t<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\" addthis:title=\"Social Entrepreneurship\">\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_twitter\" tw:via=\"thebrokeronline\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_facebook\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_pinterest_share\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = data_track_addressbar;<\/script><br \/>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/files\/js\/300\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n\t<!-- AddThis Button END -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"addthis article_options\">\n\t\t<!-- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/mandrill\/subscription\/add\/75009\/79123\">Subscribe<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t -->\n    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<section class=\"subitem content column wide left blog\">\n<div class=\"children blue\">\n<div class=\"rounded-corner\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"article fader\">\n<section class=\"children related\">\n<div class=\"article\">\n<div class=\"wleft\">\n<div class=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/blogs\/social-entrepreneurship\/the-three-roles-of-social-business-leadership\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/files\/var\/broker\/storage\/images\/blogs\/social-entrepreneurship\/the-three-roles-of-social-business-leadership\/773620-1-eng-gb\/the-three-roles-of-social-business-leadership_column.jpg\" alt=\"The three roles of social business leadership\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wright\">\n<header>\n<h3 class=\"blog_post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/blogs\/social-entrepreneurship\/the-three-roles-of-social-business-leadership\/\">The three roles of social business leadership<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/experts-and-authors\/van-der-spek-titus\/\">Titus van der Spek<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/experts-and-authors\/schreven-anne-marie\/\">Anne-Marie Schreven<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/experts-and-authors\/van-der-velden-fons2\/\">Fons van der Velden<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t|<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t23 October 2025<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\">\n\t\t\tSocial enterprises are not easy businesses to run.
