Understanding the Social Role of Entrepreneurship
提出五个支柱来重新定义创业活动对社会的价值，包括连接创业与社会进步、减少对利益相关者的负面影响、重新界定创业研究范围、认识社会乘数效应以及追求财务、社会和环境财富的平衡。
Abstract There is a need to rethink and redefine the social value added of entrepreneurial activities to society. In this paper we develop five pillars on which the evolving social role of entrepreneurship can rest and have its impact: (1) connecting entrepreneurial activities to other societal efforts aimed at improving the quality of life, achieving progress, and enriching human existence, (2) identifying ways to reduce the dysfunctional effects of entrepreneurial activities on stakeholders, (3) redefining the scope of entrepreneurial activities as a scholarly arena, (4) recognizing entrepreneurship's social multiplier, and (5) pursuing blended value at the organizational level, centring on balancing the creation of financial, social and environmental wealth. In a final section we discuss implications for practices and for further research.
