| Research Abstract |
Social enterprises play extremely important roles in supplying quasi-public goods as alternatives to central or local governments encountering significant budget deficits. However, there is no classification standard to distinguish between social enterprises and regular enterprises. This research, therefore, began by creating a classification standard to distinguish between the two. On the basis of the standard created, we distinguished social enterprises from regular enterprises and conducted a questionnaire survey of the leaders of social enterprises. Then, we created an empirical model in order to examine whether the social entrepreneurship defined by Dees(2005) can improve management efficiency and/or productivity of the social enterprises. Estimation results revealed that the social entrepreneurship could improve their productivity, but not their management efficiency. The results also revealed that social capital(networks and norms of reciprocity) could improve their management efficiency.
