Social entrepreneurship

Social entrepreneurship is a special form of management whose purpose is to run a production function in such a way as to ensure increased value for all the participating parties in that function. The main objective of social entrepreneurship is to make the world a better place for everyone. The process of social entrepreneurship leads the society in a democratic direction (Sandal, 2004).

The process of change is carried out by the individual person who is designated a social entrepreneur; a person specialized in starting and running a business in the social sector of the economy an individual person responsible for the activity and the debt and controls the production means.

Social innovation

Social innovation denotes the process whereby the individual makes free and independent decisions concerning the combination and use of factors of production, with the aim of introducing a social service which improves people’s lives and has not been on the market previously (Sandal 2004). Innovation implies that one is able to do something which previously could not be done, or at least not so efficiently or economically.

Innovative mechanism of social changes

Individuals in the population take on different roles in social structure and in the political system. Entrepreneurship is a highly specialized activity taking place in the second and third sectors where entrepreneurs fill the typical features of entrepreneurship. There are no innovations in the first sector whatsoever as the public administration is governed by strict rules and its mission is to keep control and exercise power. Individuals have a clear channel directly to the national assembly through fulfillment of innovations.

Increase of quality of life

Every sector in the social system is object to change:-education, elderly care, kindergartens, sports, music and arts, environment, health care, employees, unemployment, alcohol and drug addiction, transportation, immigration and refugees, human rights and the peace process, economic and political development, etc.
