Business deficits in minority neighborhoods across the United States
Roughly 85% of the business establishments active in the United States in 2020 employed fewer than 20 people. While individually small, they collectively employed more than 30 million people and paid those employees almost $1.4 trillion. The importance of these genuinely small businesses becomes more pronounced when focus shifts to their outsized contributions to local economic vitality, and because their prospects are much better in some neighbo…

Leveraging data comparing self-enrolled and corporate-recruited volunteer mentors int…
From Legitimacy to Learning
While the links between the fields of social enterprise and social finance appear apparent, academic research on the relationship lags behind practice. This study examines how social enterprises interact with social finance organizations in the context of impact measurement. Through qualitative research with eight social enterprises and their respective funders, I find evidence that both sides view impact measurement primarily as a means for esta…
The Expat Gap
Donor agencies and foundations use grants to stimulate entrepreneurial growth in developing countries. However, some practitioners have asked whether these grants tend to flow to expatriate entrepreneurs with ties to developed countries (where most grants originate), rather than to local entrepreneurs. This article tackles this question using a data set of 3,434 nascent ventures from 92 developing countries. The authors find that ventures with ti…
Measuring to Improve Versus Measuring to Prove
Social enterprises are described as organizations with dual objectives—social and commercial. While the measurement of commercial performance is relatively straightforward and well understood, our understanding of the factors related to measuring social performance is more ambiguous. Is the adoption of social performance measurement (SPM) practices more related to external pressures, such as the need to demonstrate legitimacy to funders and peers…
