Existing research focuses on many interesting aspects of social entrepreneurs and their initiatives, for example, the social entrepreneur as change agent, or the role of the founder and his or her vision and individual traits. However, a number of questions remain unanswered: How do social entrepreneurs actually create social and economic value by setting up self-sustained organizations? And how do strategies for building specific networks and procuring resources create social and economic value? Also, how can we ensure that the right target group captures the created value? Professor Johanna Mair and research assistant Oliver Schoen of IESE Business School answer these questions in the paper “Social Entrepreneurial Business Models: An Exploratory Study.”
