Social enterprises are those organizations that seek to attain a particular social objective through the sale of products or services. Social enterprises therefore, have two goals, the social and the economic that coexist in the same organization. The literature on social entrepreneurship is divided between those authors that defend that this coexistence creates a tension between the two objectives and that there is a trade-off between the social and the economic goal; and those authors that think that precisely one of the distinctive characteristics of social enterprises is that they know how to merge harmoniously these two objectives. My research aims to shed some light into this discussion and presents a framework that classifies social enterprises according to their social mission. Social enterprises that have the social value in the output experience much less tension between the social and the economic objectives than social companies that their social impact focus is on the input or process.

Those who are in desperate poverty have lost economic hope, have no grounds for economic hope and/or suffer from extreme need, anxiety, or despair due to economic hopelessness. In this paper we argue that desperate poverty persists because a welfare-destructive social and economic anomaly persists: corruption-based opportunism. We examine the extent of desperate poverty, and offer three propositions that associate desperate poverty, corruption-based opportunism, and ethical entrepreneurial practices/actions, to contribute as follows: (1) to the mitigation and possible alleviation of desperate poverty through ethical entrepreneurial practices; (2) to an "insurance" view of desperate poverty – a reciprocity-based theory of desperate poverty that is more culture and values neutral; (3) to an analysis of how desperate poverty results from entrepreneurship without ethics; and (4) to a theoretical exploration of an insurance view of desperate poverty that leads to liberating new value, and also those who may be economically captive to corruption-based opportunism.

SIM: This is Our Story: Social Entrepreneurs' Use of Storytelling for Resource Acquisition
Author: Kisha Lashley; Pennsylvania State U.; <v:shape style="WIDTH: 15pt; HEIGHT: 9pt; VISIBILITY: visible;" href="mailto:kletienne@gmail.com" type="#_x0000_t75" o:button="t" alt="Description: http://program.aomonline.org/2012/images/stp/email.gif" o:spid="_x0000_i1028"><v:fill o:detectmouseclick="t"></v:fill><v:imagedata o:title="email" src="file:///C:\Users\May\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image013.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape>

Social entrepreneurship is an emerging phenomenon with the potential to provide solutions to a range of social issues, but little is known about the social entrepreneurial processes. To attend to this theoretical gap, I argue that the centrality of the social entrepreneurial mission influences the resource acquisition process. I use social movements theory to explore the role of collective action framing in attracting resource providers and resources to social entrepreneurial networks.
