This study aims to examine the role of social entrepreneurship on economic, social, and environmental development.
A mixed methodology was followed where data were collected from 300 companies and 10 managers from the UK.
The findings indicate that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has a positive role in Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Return on Sales (ROS), respectively. However, social entrepreneurship has mixed results on economic, social and environmental development. Originality/Value of paper: The current research fills the gap in previous scholarly works by providing a comprehensive study of the practical implications of social entrepreneurship based on social, economic and environmental evaluations.
A major limitation lies in the inability of the author to compare the results of different scales in the analysis. Apart from the definitive scales used, there are other scales that need to be considered in future research.
Managers could find the current research useful in evaluating company decisions based on social entrepreneurship ventures.
