Journal of Social Entrepreneurship

期刊简介：To date, much of social entrepreneurship scholarship has emerged from business schools and has, as a consequence, tended to focus on organizational, strategic, and financial issues. The perspective has largely been to use business models to explore social innovation, and particularly, social enterprise (social entrepreneurship that moves towards self-funding). The approach has largely been 'what can social entrepreneurship learn from business perspectives'. This is an important part of the scholarly picture, but the Journal of Social Entrepreneurship has a far broader remit. In this journal, social entrepreneurship is defined as having four key components - sociality, innovation, market orientation, and hybridity. First, sociality is a focus on a defined social purpose or benefit to society that is carefully measured. This could be identifiable by organization type such as co-operatives or charities, or sectors, like healthcare or education. Second, innovation is seen as either creative or destructive changes to social or economic systems. Third, market orientation places social entrepreneurship in a broader competitive landscape of funding, outputs, accountability and legitimacy, all focused on a relentless effort to improve performance and increase social impact. Finally, social entrepreneurship is defined by its tendency to operate in hybrid spaces between the public, private/commercial and civil society sectors - often in the form of hybrid organizational forms such as co-operatives or social enterprises. This definition of social entrepreneurship includes both for and not-for-profit organizations, as well as public sector bodies. However, it excludes all organizations the primary purpose of which is profit-maximisation, irrespective of whether they also aim to do social good, as this falls under quite the separate heading of Corporate Social Responsibility. Key areas of interest for the Journal to draw from, and explore relationships with, include social policy and political science; anthropology; sociology; not-for-profit management; finance; organizational theory; strategy; social geography; (development) economics; ethics and moral philosophy; and social psychology. However, the Journal is open to work in any scholarly tradition with the twin caveats that the work is squarely focused on social entrepreneurship, and that it is high quality. The vision for the Journal is as a high quality, multidisciplinary publication that embraces and encourages work on social entrepreneurship from a range of scholarly perspectives beyond business and management and accepts that social entrepreneurship has much to offer the third and public sectors. The Journal is unprescriptive with respect to methodology, accepting qualitative and quantitative work equally on merit. However, in order to build the academic credibility of social entrepreneurship, there is currently a need to move away from both descriptive case studies and individual 'hero' accounts of social entrepreneurs, so the Journal actively supports both theory-inflected work and broader empirical studies.

【译文】迄今为止，大部分社会创业奖学金都来自商学院，因此往往侧重于组织、战略和财务问题。人们的观点主要是利用商业模式来探索社会创新，特别是社会企业（走向自筹资金的社会企业家精神）。该方法主要是“社会企业家可以从商业角度学到什么”。这是学术图景的重要组成部分，但《社会创业杂志》的职权范围要广泛得多。在该杂志中，社会创业被定义为具有四个关键组成部分——社会性、创新、市场导向和混合性。首先，社会性是对明确的社会目的或经过仔细衡量的社会利益的关注。这可以通过合作社或慈善机构等组织类型或医疗保健或教育等部门来识别。其次，创新被视为对社会或经济体系的创造性或破坏性变化。第三，市场导向将社会创业置于更广泛的资金、产出、责任和合法性的竞争环境中，所有这些都集中在不懈地努力提高绩效和增加社会影响。最后，社会企业家精神的定义是其在公共、私人/商业和民间社会部门之间的混合空间中运作的倾向——通常以合作社或社会企业等混合组织形式的形式。社会企业家精神的定义包括营利组织和非营利组织以及公共部门机构。然而，它排除了所有以利润最大化为主要目的的组织，无论它们是否也致力于社会公益，因为这属于企业社会责任的单独标题。 《华尔街日报》感兴趣的主要领域包括社会政策和政治科学，并探索与之之间的关系；人类学；社会学；非营利性管理；金融；组织理论；策略；社会地理学； （发展）经济学；伦理学和道德哲学；和社会心理学。然而，该杂志对任何学术传统的工作持开放态度，但需要注意的是，该工作完全专注于社会企业家精神，而且质量很高。该杂志的愿景是成为一本高质量的多学科出版物，从商业和管理之外的一系列学术角度拥抱和鼓励社会企业家精神的工作，并承认社会企业家精神可以为第三和公共部门提供很多帮助。该杂志在方法论方面没有规定，平等地接受定性和定量的工作。然而，为了建立社会企业家精神的学术可信度，目前需要摆脱社会企业家的描述性案例研究和个人“英雄”叙述，因此该杂志积极支持理论工作和更广泛的实证研究。同行评审声明 提交给期刊的手稿需经过编辑筛选和双重匿名同行评审。
