How Social Entrepreneurs' Value Orientation Affects the Performance of Social Enterprises in Korea: The Mediating Effect of Social Entrepreneurship
Efforts have been made to improve the performance of social enterprises through many studies on social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship. However, previous studies have conceptualized social entrepreneurship based on researches on commercial entrepreneurs. In addition, the scale used in the analysis of social entrepreneurship focuses primarily on behavioral aspects. Although the social and economic values pursued by social enterprises are important virtues for social entrepreneurs, research on the value orientation of social entrepreneurship is insufficient. The essence of a social enterprise is creating social value based on financial sustainability, so the concept of blended value has been recently emphasized. This study analyzed the relationships among blended value orientation, social entrepreneurship, and the performance of social enterprises. The results indicate that the blended value orientation of social entrepreneurs influenced social entrepreneurship and performance; social entrepreneurship fully mediated blended value orientation and performance. These findings suggest that it is important to focus on the blended value orientation of social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship in the promotion and policies of social enterprises.

How Social Entrepreneurs Affect Performance of Social Enterprises in Korea: The Mediating Effect of Innovativeness
Schumpeter argued that entrepreneurship brings about creative destruction in capitalist economies. South Korea enacted the Social Enterprise Promotion Act in 2007 to promote corporate social enterprise. However, despite government support, social enterprises in Korea are not successful, especially in social and economic performance, which is defined as the social and economic value that social enterprises should pursue. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 social entrepreneurs, and the structural equation model was used as the research method. The results of the analysis are as follows. Openness and innovativeness have a positive direct impact on economic as well as social performance. In addition, openness and innovativeness play a mediating role not only in social performance, but also in economic performance. This paper suggests theoretical and policy implications based on the above analysis.

The Development of a Measurement Instrument for the Organizational Performance of Social Enterprises
There is a growing consensus that the adoption of performance measurement tools are of particular interest for social enterprises in order to support internal decision making and to answer the demands of accountability toward their stakeholders. As a result, different methodologies to assess the non financial performance of social enterprises are developed by academics and practitioners. Many of these methodologies are on the one hand discussions of general guidelines or, on the other hand, very case specific. As such, these methodologies do not offer a functional tool for a broad range of social enterprises. The goal of this article is to fill this gap by developing an instrument suitable for the internal assessment and the external reporting of the non financial performance of a diverse group of social enterprises. To reach this goal, we used qualitative (focus groups and a Delphi panel) and quantitative research methods (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) involving multiple actors in the field of social entrepreneurship. Focusing on five dimensions of organizational performance (economic, environmental, community, human and governance performance) we offer a set of indicators and an assessment tool for social enterprises.

An assessment approach for enhancing the organizational performance of social enterprises in India
Purpose This paper aims to analyze the activities of Indian social enterprises, identify the reasons/causes for their shortcomings and suggest a networked model of donor and beneficiary pool so as to enhance the performance efficiencies of these social enterprises to result in a larger social development impact. Non governmental organizations (NGOs) and social ventures together termed as social enterprises are perceived to be a panacea for all kinds of development in the social sector in the underdeveloped economies. In the past decade, the social enterprises in India have mushroomed and yet the sanctity of their operations and ability to deliver to expectations is questionable. Design/methodology/approach The research design for pilot study was exploratory followed by descriptive design for the full study. The research adopted a two phase approach. In Phase I, a loosely structured interview schedule was used to collate the insights from the social enterprises, developed as a survey questionnaire and

Measuring to Improve Versus Measuring to Prove: Understanding the Adoption of Social Performance Measurement Practices in Nascent Social Enterprises
Social enterprises are described as organizations with dual objectives social and commercial. While the measurement of commercial performance is relatively straightforward and well understood, our understanding of the factors related to measuring social performance is more ambiguous. Is the adoption of social performance measurement (SPM) practices more related to external pressures, such as the need to demonstrate legitimacy to funders and peers, or is it more closely related to the growing rationalization within the social sector? We examine the relationship between external and internal factors and the adoption of SPM using a novel dataset of 1864 nascent social enterprises from around the world. Our findings suggest support for the argument that the adoption of SPM in social enterprise is related to the growing rationalization of the social sector, which challenges some of the past research on this topic, and provides a more nuanced perspective of SPM in social enterprise.ResumeLes entreprises sociales sont decrites comme des organisations possedant des objectifs a double nature, soit sociale et commerciale. Meme si le rendement commercial est relativement facile a mesurer et a comprendre, les facteurs relatifs a la mesure du rendement social nous semblent plus ambigus. L'adoption de pratiques de mesure du rendement social (MRS) est elle davantage reliee a des pressions externes, dont le besoin de faire preuve de legitimite devant les bailleurs de fonds et les pairs, ou est elle associee de plus pres a la rationalisation ayant progressivement lieu au sein du secteur social? Nous etudions la relation entre des facteurs internes et externes et l'adoption de MRS a l'aide d'un ensemble de donnees novatrices provenant de 1,864 jeunes entreprises sociales de partout dans le monde. Nos resultats semblent soutenir l'argument voulant que l'adoption de MRS dans les entreprises sociales soit associee a la rationalisation croissante du secteur social, contestant ainsi des recherches precedentes sur le sujet et procurant un point de vue plus nuance sur les MRS dans le contexte desdites entreprises.ZusammenfassungSozialunternehmen gelten als Organisationen mit zweifachem Ziel dem sozialen und dem kommerziellen Ziel. Wahrend die Messung der kommerziellen Leistung relativ geradlienig ist und wohlverstanden wird, ist das Verstandnis der Faktoren im Zusammenhang mit der Messung der sozialen Leistung nicht ganz eindeutig. Erfolgt die Anwendung von Praktiken zur Messung der sozialen Leistung aufgrund externen Drucks, wie beispielsweise die notige Demonstration von Legitimitat gegenuber Geldgebern und anderen Sozialunternehmen, oder steht sie mehr im Zusammenhang mit der zunehmenden Rationalisierung innerhalb des Sozialsektors? Wir untersuchen die Beziehung zwischen den externen und internen Faktoren und die Messung der sozialen Leistung anhand neuer Daten von 1864 aufkeimenden Sozialunternehmen aus der ganzen Welt. Die Ergebnisse scheinen das Argument zu unterstutzen, dass die Messung der sozialen Leistung in Sozialunternehmen in Verbindung mit der wachsenen Rationalisierung des Sozialsektors erfolgt. Dies stellt einige vorherige Untersuchungen zu diesem Thema in Frage und bietet eine differenziertere Perspektive zur Messung der sozialen Leistung in Sozialunternehmen.ResumenLas empresas sociales son descritas como organizaciones con objetivos duales: sociales y comerciales.

Origin and Performance of Social Enterprises in Manipur
Manipur is the worst case scenario in the North East India as far as militancy and ethnic conflict is concerned. Then again come to the distribution of geographical area, scattered population, literacy rate, unemployment, health scenario in the state, and other social ills etc. are the few factors which leads to the present conflict state. Any effort, made on these conditions, in the prevailing system is drowned in the whirlpool of conflicting demands on meager resources. After learning from these past experiences that acknowledged about the drawbacks of the prevailing system as well as organizational models working in the system, it is understandable argument that, to fulfill the aspirations, the only means to improve the quality of human life is through improving the existing organisations. Here the present study brings social enterprise as a good organisational model particularly in the state. Hence, the genesis of this paper comes from the need for exploring and obtaining the clarity about the problem situation and looking for possible solutions in the state. Data relating to organisations' year of establishment, types of organisations, area of scale of operations, gender of the social entrepreneurs, paid staffs as well as core activities of the organisations are used for examining the origin and performance of social enterprises in the state of Manipur.

Moderating effect of firm size on the influence of corporate social responsibility in the economic performance of micro small and medium sized enterprises
Abstract Corporate social responsibility (hereafter, CSR) continues to be generally relevant, with growing interest from academic researchers, businesspeople, public administrations and society as a whole. Numerous works have studied the influence of CSR on economic performance (hereafter, EP) in large businesses, but very few studies have focused on micro small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) This study analyzes the moderating effect of firm size on the influence of CSR actions on the economic performance of MSMEs. This work has two purposes: first, to empirically test the "social impact" hypothesis of stakeholder theory, which assumes that CRS positively impacts EP; second, to analyze the moderating effect of the MSME size on this hypothesis. The results obtained using the PLS SEM technique based on a sample of 278 Spanish firms confirm that MSMEs that carry out CSR activities in their economic, social and environmental aspects improve their economic performance, and this relationship is moderated by the size of these organizations; the larger the size is, the stronger the relationship is.

Internal oriented resources and social enterprises' performance: How can social enterprises help themselves before helping others?
Abstract The ultimate mission of a social enterprise is to address the most pressing social or environmental issues in society. However, the majority of the social enterprises in the emerging context, such as Malaysia and Singapore, are confronted with struggles for survival and challenges of low performance leading to the issue of financial sustainability. Based on the resource based view, this empirical study established a framework to assess the influence of the most prominent internal oriented resources (i.e. entrepreneurial orientation, social salience and business planning) which were moderated by socio economic context, towards the financial and social performance of social enterprises. A quantitative survey method was applied in the collection of data, which were analysed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling approach. A total of 181 Malaysian and Singaporean social enterprises were surveyed. The research findings reveal that the entrepreneurial orientation, in innovative, proactive and risk taking terms, generates a substantial impact on financial performance, but no significant impact on the social outcome. The social salience of the enterprise founders was found to have a significant influence on their social achievement, but not on their financial achievement. The results challenge the conventional knowledge that assesses the performance of a hybrid entity such as a social enterprise through single or consolidated dimensions. Furthermore, Importance Performance Map Analysis demonstrated a contrasting situation towards financial and social performance. Specifically, in achieving financial excellent, social enterprises should pay more attention to entrepreneurial orientation and reduce their social salience posture. However, to improve their social performance, they should concentrate on social salience and lower their entrepreneurial orientation. This, again, demonstrates the complexities and conflicting demands of hybrid organisations like social enterprises. Hence, in a highly favourable socio economic context (i.e. Singapore) the negative impact of social salience on financial performance would become irrelevant. On the other hand, the positive influence of business planning towards social performance is more significant in a less favourable environment (i.e. Malaysia) These findings help social enterprise practitioners to determine their organisations' strategic direction and offer a guiding model to social investors, policymakers and researchers. The results also improve our understanding of the mixed results occurring in previous literature and pledge opportunities for further research.
