Social enterprise versus social entrepreneurship: An examination of the 'why'and 'how'in pursuing social change

This article critically examines the distinctions between social enterprise (organizational models) and social entrepreneurship (individual-driven ventures). Through conceptual analysis and case studies of non-governmental organizations, it reveals that enterprises focus on sustainability and revenue models, while entrepreneurs prioritize innovation and social impact. The authors advocate for hybrid strategies that combine organizational structure with individual agency to more effectively address complex social problems and achieve positive social change.
