| Research Abstract |
Social Enterprise, which is found in many countries, is composed of various kinds of activities that pursue social objective by maintaining economic profitability, rather than by relying on external aid. Such activities are based on altruistic motives and can be explained by Amartya Sen’s capability approach. This study used this analytical framework to analyze those cases such as the activities of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, coffee production in Vietnam, and organic farming in Thailand.
