Název v původním jazyce

The Role of Education in Raising Public Awareness of Social Entrepreneurship: The Case of Hong Kong

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Social entrepreneurship is an important concept because, in addition to being purely profit-driven, enterprises also focus on the integration of disadvantaged people into the labour market or on social contribution to the community in which they operate. Although social entrepreneurship is growing and public policies are beginning to recognise the ability of social enterprises to create value for society, public awareness of the concept of social entrepreneurship varies. This study presents the results of qualitative research among entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to assess the importance entrepreneurs attach to the education system in raising awareness of social entrepreneurship. The results show that, in addition to education, promoting volunteering also plays an important role in raising peoples’ awareness. When promoting the concept of social entrepreneurship, emphasis should be placed on the economic principle of social enterprises to avoid merging social entrepreneurship with the activities of purely non-profit organisations. The research findings are useful for shaping strategies leading to increased awareness of the activities and importance of social entrepreneurship.
