用企业行为理论解释社会企业快速国际化的原因,分析社会机会的关键属性如何影响其国际运营的时机和地理范围,对研究社会创业和国际化的学者有参考价值。
Abstract Social entrepreneurship has emerged as an important research topic in the literature. This interest stems from social entrepreneurs' role in addressing serious social problems on a worldwide scale while enhancing social wealth, often without regard for profits. In this article, we explain the forces contributing to the formation and rapid internationalization of social ventures. We use the behavioral theory of the firm to distill key attributes of social opportunities and show how these attributes influence the timing and geographic scope of social ventures' international operations.
