Section outline

  • Social entrepreneurship matters for numerous reasons and plays a key role nowadays. It is a way of doing business that is connected to a desire for social change. A social entrepreneur differs from a typical entrepreneur in that, whereas the traditional entrepreneur's ultimate purpose is to make money, the social entrepreneur's ultimate goal is to  achieve profit while making long-term societal change.
