Abstract

This chapter examines the factors that contribute to enhancing social enterprises effectiveness in African context. Using Identity theory which is based on symbolic interactionism and assumes that society shapes social behavior, this study proposes the four pertinent factors—culture, community, communications, and leadership—that managers need to pay attention in order to enhance social enterprise effectiveness. These factors contribute to literature by offering the promise of empowering marginalized segments of populations in Africa through social enterprises. This study has a few recommendations for social enterprise managers and policymakers.
