QUESTION 1

(a) Define the meaning of social entrepreneurship.


- social entrepreneurship is approach by individuals, organizations, start-ups or startups
to create, finance and introduce solutions to social, cultural or environmental
problems. This definition can be extended to a wide variety of firms, which differ in
scale, priorities, and values.
- Social entrepreneurship is important because It offers a platform for organizations to
find their own potential in the hope of supporting others.

challenges they encounter.

face in order to formulate innovative solutions. Inspiration motivates action
and lets social entrepreneurs solve the problems that some shy away from
tackling.
- For examples, the invention of the telephone to facilitate all affairs.

iii. Realistic
- It needs time, commitment, and experimentation to change the world. While
dreams of major social change can inspire them, seasoned social entrepreneurs
realize that they need to take incremental steps to accomplish their goals.
Good social programs are not born immediately.
- For example, the founder of Be as You Wear is working to reform systems
that put youth at risk by taking small steps, such as performing small-group
education interventions and selling hoodies to fund her work.

feature from commercial entrepreneurship which poses complications for
social entrepreneurs in terms of transparency and stakeholder ties.
- Commercial entrepreneurs and consumers involved in assessing their success
have been able to depend on reasonably visible and quantifiable performance
metrics such as financial results, market share, consumer loyalty and
efficiency. However, there is far from any agreement on the calculation of
social change due to non-quantifiability, multiple causality, temporal aspects,
and perceived variations in the social impacts produced.
