人们已经认识到，社会企业研究有可能在更大程度上与社会科学学科相结合。本文表明，在英国，与社会企业和社会企业行为有关的一些研究差距可以在社会企业的地理研究议程中解决，该议程承认此类活动的基于地点的方面。在当前关于“可持续”城市和“凝聚力”社区的论述中，社会企业行为和社会企业空间之间的关系有更大的关注空间。有必要更详细地调查社会企业在解决社会排斥问题和为边缘化和被排斥群体创造赋权空间方面的作用。本文提出了社会企业研究议程的案例，该议程借鉴了地理学的学科，但也提出了地理学家可以将他们的空间镜头带入社会企业跨学科工作发展的方法。通过文献综述，本文强调了地理学家可以很好地填补的知识空白，并为未来的研究提出了一些关键的途径，这些途径可以在重新定义的社会企业研究议程中解决。
It has been recognised that there is potential for the study of social enterprise to engage to a greater degree with the social science disciplines. This paper demonstrates that some of the research gaps relating to social enterprise and socially enterprising behaviour within the UK could be tackled within a geographical research agenda for social enterprise that recognises the place-based aspects of such activity. There is scope for a greater focus on the relationship between socially enterprising behaviour and the spaces of social enterprise within current discourses on the ‘sustainable’ city and ‘cohesive’ communities in particular. There is a need to investigate in more detail the role of social enterprise in tackling social exclusion and the creation of spaces of empowerment for marginalised and excluded groups. This paper puts forward the case for a research agenda for social enterprise that draws on the discipline of geography but also suggests ways in which geographers can bring their spatial lens to the development of interdisciplinary work on social enterprise. Through literature review the paper highlights knowledge gaps that geographers would be well-placed to fill and draws out some key avenues for future research that could be tackled within a redefined research agenda for social enterprise.
