Enlivening Social unto Entrepreneurship: A Theoretical Philosophy to Strategic View

Abstract

The present paper tries to deploy social philosophy into entrepreneurship concept in order to define social entrepreneurship. We begin the work with deconstructing process to explore the origin value of organizational context. We found that right from the beginning organization is a product of social cohesion among initial shareholders aiming for specific goals. Uniquely, organization theory explicitly stated the role of achieving common good of the society as the ultimate goal. In other words, this signaled that social motivations do engage in early stage of organizational development. The critical factors which further segregate social entrepreneurship into pure capitalists are combined processes between environmental influence and individual cognitive of the entrepreneur. At one side, environment creates ambiance which might prolong the spirit of social entrepreneurship while on the other side, entrepreneur needs to contemplate the doctrine of doubt up to the level of wisdom and end it up with strong impact to potential new entrants. This mechanism will have great impact to generalize company as social enterprise.
