| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study addresses the following question: what are the important factors for sustainability of social enterprises. To find out answers to the aforementioned question, I carried out a survey on leaders of nonprofit and for-profit social enterprises in Japan. It is essential to note that this paper assesses social capital of leaders because leadership involves accomplishing work through followers.
Social capital can play an important role in the sustainability of social enterprises, particularly those facing hostile and benign environments. A leader’s character, grounded on values such as trust and networks, should influence his/her vision, ethics, and behavior. The empirical examination in this paper revealed that successful social entrepreneurs (innovators) have rich social capital in hostile and benign environments, thereby enhancing the sustainability of social enterprises.
