Social sciences research studies interactions between human behavior, social influences and culture. Entrepreneurship is a form of social science that studies how people can create and sustain businesses to meet the needs of society. It is an effective force that can transform communities, industries and the entire world.

A business that makes an impact on the community gives entrepreneurs a sense of motivation and satisfaction in their work. They can leave a legacy to future generations of entrepreneurs. If it’s changing how we shop, giving more access to healthcare and education or tackling inequality and poverty in the world, entrepreneurs can make a huge impact through their businesses.

Entrepreneurs often take part in social entrepreneurship (SEE) by finding a need and then developing innovative solutions to meet the need. This may involve using their existing knowledge of business and relationships to expand into new markets or working with partners to develop more sustainable products. This may include philanthropy, as they want to promote a cause which is important to them.

Academics who are part of SEE can develop their research by sharing it in the publications of their institutions and this is an important method to increase dissemination of knowledge. This can help to develop entrepreneurial culture in academia as well as facilitate collaborations with industry and non-academic partners. SSRN’s Entrepreneurship Collection includes scholarly articles about the basic theories and principles of entrepreneurship as well and how these concepts relate to law, management economics, and public policy.
