Understanding of Social Entrepreneurship of Future Managers Vyas, Hitesh D Corporate Social Entrepreneurship (CSE) is a process aimed at enabling business to develop more advanced and powerful forms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (Austin & Reficco, 2009). Social Entrepreneurship (SE) is an emerging research field (Ireland and Webb, 2007; Short et al., 2009). The structural dichotomy between social and entrepreneurship, is itself a complicating the both dividing and fertilizing (Chell, 2007). SE being a voluntarily constructed phenomenon through narration and politics that fails to be understood from a positivist view, as it actually is constructed (Hervieux et al., 2010; Steyaert and Dey, 2010). However, researches on the SE need to borrow qualitative methods to explore and build its theories (Nicholls, 2010). A paradigmatically shift in the researchers’ communities themselves, as there is a growing understanding on how to employ for example mixed mode methods in a pragmatically approach and how to look out for different contexts (Creswell, 2009; Molina- Azorín and Cameron, 2010; Lehner, 2011; Welter, 2011). The present paper thus is an attempt to identify such cases of SE and to learn for its understanding among the future managers. The present study has been carried out at the Bhavnagar district, Data collection has done by the convenience random sampling method from the 100 respondents of P G management courses through a structured close ended questionnaire on five point scale. Study concludes that social work in Bhavnagar district done very well by several NGOs, as its analysis of primary data indicates that future managers really like the social entrepreneurial activities. It can be conclude that if manager and management of companies take up SE as a good cause, the days are not far to change enterprises in to social enterprises universally. Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurship: Towards Constructive Transformation Paltasingh, Tattwamasi Developing countries continue to confront the issues of unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, access to healthcare services and the connected consequences. In such situation social entrepreneurship as an emerging field, can contribute to bring positive changes ensuring that individuals are active agents of social development. The participants involved in the process may have the innovative ideas and solution to the most critical problems of society. Social entrepreneurship is considered to be the nexus between public, private and non-profit organizations. There is a trend that has increasingly blurred the boundaries between these three sectors creating a new space for social entrepreneurs. Time and again it has been evidenced that both government and private establishments, even with philanthropic initiatives are often not effective in tackling the contemporary problems. Encouraging social entrepreneurs can have advantages. They may create a world that can respond quickly and effectively to the challenging situation. However, as an evolving area, social entrepreneurship has raised number of debates and dialogues relating to conceptual and practical issues. This paper attempts to address such issues with a focus on tracing the potential and further probes into the possibilities of a constructive future of social ntrepreneurship as a field of inquiry.

Social Entrepreneurship: Rise of a New Hybrid Sector Tiwari, Preeti; Bhat, Anil K; Jyoti In recent times, two interrelated fields of research have emerged: social entrepreneurship and social innovation. Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation are the new “buzz words” when it comes to both the business and non-profit sectors.Many people consider social enterprises to be a combination of both worlds, incorporating the social impact focus of non-profits, with the financial stability, or financial returns, of a business. So far most of the literature has adopted the term social entrepreneurship, while other authors make no distinction and yet others prefer to focus on social innovation. There is agreement, however, that the fields are just emerging with ample of fragmented contributions and a lack of well-defined theoretical body. One example is the rather weak problematization (treatment) of widely used concepts, for instance: hybrids.This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of social innovation and entrepreneurship, with particular reference to the issue of hybridity. It builds on insights accumulated in the existing literature on social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurship through Social Capital: A Twist for Empowerment Programs CK, Abdul Raoof The paper focus on relevance of ‘social entrepreneurship’ and ‘social capital’ in utilizing to effective results in social empowerment and poverty alleviating programs, In reference to successful story of Kudumbashree units in Kerala state. The trend in addressing social issues shifted from focusing ‘economic inequality’ to ‘Social exclusion’ which is multidimensional and broader perspectives. But a single solution other than ‘Empowerment’ yet not felt meaningful to tackle the phenomenon. From 1980’s onwards related polices and plans were initiated by various governments, along with subsequent from other organizations. But there is need for meaningful practicable planning than following logics of equations, which generally calculates investment and income than generating the needed resources within affected groups. The programs based on the concepts of social capital and social entrepreneurship becomes success stories and role model. It equips them to be part of decision making, economic transactions and meeting the needs boldly, which is the crux of empowerment. We have unskilled people and less technology to utilize the resources and great population to feed. While both concepts have the productive and social bonding features, which can bring any excluded out of the gamut of vulnerability and equips to participate in society with self-reliance and confidence gained from social networks.
