    Have you ever thought that both family businesses and social enterprises may be working toward non-economic goals?
    Have you considered that they may both have to align diverging interests from multiple stakeholders?
    Have you thought that both types of enterprises pursue altruistic motives to imprint their communities with a sense of lasting values?

    If these questions intrigue you, this PDW is for you!

    What Can Social Entrepreneurship Researchers Learn From Family Business Scholars?

    When? Saturday, August 2, 2014, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM
    Where? Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, Salon 3

    Organizers: Sophie Bacq (Northeastern University) and Tom Lumpkin (Syracuse University)

    Panelists:
    Alfredo De Massis, Lancaster University Management School, UK
    Danny Miller, HEC Montreal and University of Alberta, Canada
    Isabelle Le Breton-Miller, HEC Montreal and University of Alberta, Canada
    Donald O. Neubaum, Oregon State University, USA
    Scott L. Newbert, Villanova University, USA
    Lorraine M. Uhlaner, EDHEC Business School, France

    The objective of this PDW is to foster an interactive dialogue and reflection on the theories and concepts that have been useful for understanding phenomena in the family business literature that share elements in common with conditions and organizational challenges facing social business ventures.

    The field of social entrepreneurship creates a unique opportunity to integrate, challenge, and debate many traditional entrepreneurship assumptions in an effort to develop a cogent and unifying paradigm. As the field continues to mature, social entrepreneurship scholars have incorporated new and novel approaches to research the challenges faced by social entrepreneurs. The recent enthusiasm for social entrepreneurship has generated a growing body of articles including literature reviews that often end with suggested theories and/or concepts that might prove to be useful for researching aspects of social entrepreneurship. To apply such suggestions to in-depth analyses of social business ventures, we propose to consider the problems they face in a more systematic way by borrowing theoretical insights from family business scholarship.

    The PDW is open to anyone and does not require prior registration. PDW sponsored by the ENTREPRENEURSHIP Division – Session #207
