10. WHAT IS SOCIAL
ENTREPRENEURSHIP?
Social entrepreneurs are practical visionaries
who possess qualities traditionally associated
with leading business entrepreneurs – vision –
innovation – determination and long-term
commitment – but are dedicated to a systematic
social change in their chosen field.
They adopt a MISSION to create a Social Value
and not just Private Value

11.  This is the core of what distinguishes SE
from BE
Making a profit, creating a wealth or
serving the desires of customers may be
part of the model, but these are means to
a social end, not the end in itself
Profit is not gauge of value creation,
social impact is the gauge

12.  Social entrepreneurs look for long-term
social return on investment.
They want to create lasting
improvements.
They think about sustaining impact.

17. SIX QUALITIES OF SOCIAL
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The most successful social entrepreneurs are
who are most determined to achieve a long-term
goal that was deeply meaningful to them.

18. SIX QUALITIES
• Willingness to self-correct:- Because of
their motivation, highly successful social
entrepreneurs are highly self- correcting.
• Willingness to share credit:- It has been said
that there is no limit to what you can
achieve, if you don’t care who gets the
credit. If an entrepreneur’s true intention
is simply to make change happen, then
sharing credit will come naturally.

19. • Willingness to break free of establishing
structures.
• Willingness to cross disciplinary boundaries:-
Pulling together people from different
spheres, with different kind of experience and
expertise, who can together build workable
solutions.
• Willingness to work quietly.
• Strong ethical impetus.

DEFINING SOCIAL
ENTREPRENEUR

agents in the social sector by adopting a mission
to create and sustain social values (not just
private value).
