The Interplay of Form, Structure, and Embeddedness in Social Intrapreneurship
通过分析非洲和拉丁美洲的10个案例，发现认知、网络和文化嵌入性对社会内部创业有显著约束作用，尤其在历史非营利组织中更明显，但多种解耦结构可缓解这些约束。
While the influence of form and structure on social entrepreneurship has received some attention within academe, the perception of form as discrete rather than embedded in organizational history, and structure as an individual, dichotomous choice between simple for–profit and nonprofit alternatives, has painted an incomplete picture. Through a rigorous analysis of 10 case studies located within Africa and Latin America involving social intrapreneurship, our findings suggest that cognitive, network, and cultural embeddedness each play an important constraining role that is even more pronounced in organizations that were historically nonprofit in form. However, our results also suggest a variety of decoupled structural approaches that may help mitigate such constraints.
