Entrepreneurship is typically thought of as a business venture that is based on the creation of businesses solely to earn money or to create jobs. It’s important to keep it in mind that entrepreneurship is about more than just making money. It’s about identifying value in the unexpected – whether it’s through creation of a novel product or service, by working to improve an existing community, or through developing an innovative process.

So, it’s no surprise that entrepreneurship is tightly linked to the social sciences. There is a lot of overlap between these two fields, particularly in the sense that entrepreneurs must be aware of their impact on people and communities. In order to run their business successfully, they must know the trends of society and human psychology.

The social entrepreneurship field (SE) has given birth to many fresh and original ideas regarding entrepreneurialism. There are numerous schools of research dealing with this new type entrepreneurship. Citation analysis shows that the most widely used approach is based on institutional theory and a strong dominance of papers written by scholars from Western societies. These papers often address issues of external determinants like the existence of an ecosystem or policies of the government, which can affect the creation and operation of SE ventures. Moreover, they also examine the influence of socio-cultural and emotional aspects in the choice to engage in these activities.
