Abstract

Despite the growing interest in social entrepreneurship, there exist gaps in research that compares traditional business-oriented entrepreneurship with the social kind. This study attempts to fill the gap by answering the following questions: Are there significant differences between the survival chances of business and social ventures? and Do the traits of the entrepreneur and the firm play the same role as success factors for both types of venture? Hypotheses are tested using data collected from 2,179 firms. The results show that significant differences exist between social and business-oriented entrepreneurship in the form and intensity of the independent variables related to survival.

In the end, four business ventures were eliminated because of missing data.

According to the criteria of the IVAJ, a social venture is a company dedicated to activities that promote equal opportunities (integration), environmental improvement, technological innovation, organizational innovation, education and training for the integration or entrepreneurial cooperation.

The odds ratio is the ratio between the probability of not surviving and the probability of surviving.
