Original language description

The field of social entrepreneurship shows up frequently in many sectors. It is referenced by academics, public, governments or non-profit sector. Today, social entrepreneurship and its shifters are dynamic and dedicated to distribute new business models combining social mission with economic activity. There is a general consensus that the concept of social enterprise will gain in strength. To track such expand understanding of social entrepreneurship components is more than welcomed. Social entrepreneurs undertake a wide range of activity beyond work inclusion and social services. However, we can find a lot of their definitions and views on their characterization. The mapping on the social entrepreneur definition as well as social enterprise characterization can help to identify the core of social entrepreneurial activities. It is more than common that many sorts of activities are now being labelled as social entrepreneurship. Some opinions can be found that say it is good, some argue that more clarity into this problem would be appropriate. This paper focuses on discussion key definitions and attributes of entrepreneur and social entrepreneur followed by key characterization of social enterprises. The theoretical part continues with a practical application of empirical research provided among social enterprises. There is definitely a much to be learned and understood about social entrepreneurship. We uncover a tiny part of this topic thinking that identifying several views on social entrepreneurship and enterprises accompanied with practical insight into their world will aid the development of the field.
