We conceptualise social entrepreneurship as a source of social capital which, when present in the environment, enhances commercial entrepreneurship. We also argue that social entrepreneurship should be recognised as a second form of Baumol's (1990) productive entrepreneurship and that it will...

We advance research on human capital and entrepreneurial entry and posit that, in order to generate value, social entrepreneurship requires different configurations of human capital than commercial entrepreneurship. We develop a multilevel framework to analyse the commonalities and differences...

This study contributes to emerging research on entrepreneurial philanthropy. It explores the philanthropy of owner-managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and investigates whether and why more entrepreneurially oriented (EO) SMEs are also more likely to be philanthropic. We find...
