Abstract

Social entrepreneurship is multi-disciplinary area of scholarly enquiry. Being a new area of research, this is yet to emerge fully. Scholars have been studying cases in search of concepts to explain social entrepreneurship. Attempts have also been made to theorise the phenomenon and to develop theories thereof. Hence, it is obvious that research on social entrepreneurship in the last decades has been mostly qualitative and case study based and the scholars have been mostly focusing on developing concepts to explain functions and processes while reporting the impact. Case studies have also been used to explain similarities and differences between social and commercial entrepreneurship. Qualitative research provides strength to unfold the concepts and allows enormous possibilities to open up new dimensions. In this chapter, critique on case study method of qualitative research provided us the way to present different phenomenon to theorise which eventually would provide sound basis to construct theory on social entrepreneurship.

Fußnoten

Though the number of people living in extreme poverty (UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda defines that people with income below $1.9 as extreme poor) among India’s over 1.3 billion population has declined dramatically, they continue to face income inequalities and encounter issues in accessing the basic services. Nearly 70% of India’s population lives in rural areas with limited access to basic sanitation, healthcare and electricity. Statistics relating to access to education and livelihoods are also not very encouraging. While 65% of India’s population is of working age, only 5.5 million new jobs are created annually against the requirement of 12+ million jobs.
