Connecting the dots in social entrepreneurship through the capabilities approach

Emmanuel Yujuico

Correspondence: yujuico{at}gmail.com

Social entrepreneurship has received substantial general attention, though formal research interest in the concept has been more limited. I propose using the capabilities approach as a unifying theoretical framework in comprehending the concept. This approach is useful in evaluating and then linking the causal, motivational, behavioural and directive dimensions of social entrepreneurship. Consequently, an illustrative theoretical framework is developed to guide future research that is cognizant of the similarities and differences between conventional and social entrepreneurship.

Key Words: social movements • innovation • social networks • economic man • embeddedness • ethics
