The evolutionary trajectory of social enterprises in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
基于历史制度主义，研究了捷克和斯洛伐克在共产主义倒台后社会企业的演化路径，发现尽管有共同历史，但轨迹不同，趋同源于政治变化和欧盟政策，分歧源于外生经济冲击和初始宏观经济差异。
The paper contributes to the research on social enterprises. Based on historical institutionalism, we map the evolution of social enterprises in the Czech Republic and Slovakia after the collapse of communist rule. The findings indicate that the historical-evolutionary trajectories differ, despite their common path during the totalitarian regime. There is some convergence based on significant political changes that resulted mostly in the need to create integrated legislation and to reflect the common European policy; the divergent trends occur after exogenous economic shocks, the effects of which might result from the differing initial macroeconomic situations in both countries.
