Evidence

Social enterprises include new ventures that aim to find sustainable entrepreneurial solutions to social and environmental problems with positive externalities internalized in the economic system (Santos 2012). Some scholars have expanded their analysis of social enterprises to identify hybrid organizations (Battilana and Lee 2014), examining how new ventures integrate a dual mission or logic, embedding social purpose and financial sustainability (Pache and Santos 2012). — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
