A Tax Credit Proposal for Profit Moderation and Social Mission Maximization in Long-Term Residential Care Businesses
This policy brief proposes a tax credit with related qualifying conditions that address the serious deficiencies related to abuse and neglect found in the current for-profit long-term care space. It also seeks to address the lack of government accountability for huge outlays of taxpayer dollars in the form of Medicare and Medicaid payments to these facilities, much of which results in maximizing profits for wealthy investors at the expense of vul…
Institutional intermediaries as legitimizing agents for social enterprise in China and India
This study conducts a comparative analysis of social enterprise intermediaries in China and India to better understand how they legitimize social enterprises in new settings.

Strategic responses of social enterprises to institutional pressures in China
In China, the development of social enterprises based on Western concepts marked the entrance of an institutional innovation with strong institutional forces working against its survival. This study examines how social enterprises in China persisted in the face of high isomorphic pressures that urged their conformity with existing institutions Drawing on 41 surveys of social enterprises in China, we find that they survived by resisting negative i…
Social entrepreneurship in context: Pathways for new contributions in the field
In this Special Issue, we hope to reframe the conversation about context and bring back context to the front and centre of our way of knowing and theorizing in the field of social entrepreneurship. We philosophize about context and then propose a typology of context in the field of social entrepreneurship (broadly defined) and identify domains of context that constitute existing and fertile areas for future research. We reflect on the six papers …

Considering Context: Social Innovation in Comparative Perspective
‘Social enterprise’ is a term that is increasingly used across the globe to describe new business solutions to a myriad of social and environmental problems (Alter, 2006). This discourse is often characterized by the shared human sentiments of social justice, sustainability, participation, inclusiveness, and empowerment. In Zimbabwe, the Collective Self Finance Scheme, a micro-finance initiative, pools the savings of associated small-and medium-s…
A Comparative Analysis of the Global Emergence of Social Enterprise
This article compares the emerging concept, practice, and context of social enterprise across seven regions and countries of the world. Broadly defined as the use of market-based approaches to address social issues, social enterprise provides a “business” source of revenue for civil society organizations. However, within these broad parameters, world regions have come to identify different concepts and contexts with the social enterprise movement…
Nonprofit Commercial Revenue: A Replacement for Declining Government Grants and Private Contributions
This article examines whether there has been an increase in nonprofit commercial revenue and if so whether declines in government grants and private contributions were behind the rise. A number of nonprofit scholars have held that nonprofit commercial activity increased significantly during the 1980s and 1990s. Following on resource dependency theory, they suggest that nonprofits use commercial income as a replacement for lost government grant an…
Diasporas and Development: Exploring the Potential
For some time in diaspora studies, attention to remittances has overshadowed the growing impact of emigrant groups both within the social and political arenas in their homelands and with regard to fundamental economic development. The authors of Diasporas and Development redress this imbalance, focusing on three core issues: the responses of diasporas to homeland conflicts, strategies for mobilizing effective homeland investment, and the positive…
Social Enterprise in the United States and Europe: Understanding and Learning from the Differences
Since the 1980s both the United States and Europe have experienced a simultaneous expansion in social enterprise. However, little has been written comparing and contrasting American and European conceptions of social enterprise resulting in difficulty communicating on the topic and missed opportunities to learn and build on foreign experience. To address this need, this paper compares and contrasts American and European social enterprise through …
