社会企业现在被广泛认为在应对持续和普遍的社会挑战方面发挥着重要作用。这种洞察力促使人们积极寻找易于扩展和复制的商业模式。然而，对这些混合组织形式的长期增长和业绩考虑相对较少。本文探讨了如何历史知情的研究可能会提高我们对增长过程的理解。它认为社会企业的组织成长的概念化和流行的结构的相关性。“长期观点”的方法的解释潜力进行检查，通过应用三个结构（机会识别，企业调整和制度结构）在两个英国社会企业的比较历史分析。
Social ventures are now widely regarded as playing an essential role in addressing persistent and pervasive societal challenges. This insight has prompted an active search for readily scaleable and replicable business models. However, relatively little consideration has been given to the longer term growth and performance of these hybrid organizational forms. This paper examines how historically informed research might enhance our understanding of growth processes. It considers the conceptualization of organizational growth in social ventures and the relevance of prevailing constructs. The explanatory potential of ‘long-view’ approaches is examined by applying three constructs (opportunity recognition, entrepreneurial adjustment and institutional structure) in a comparative historical analysis of two British social ventures.
