将组织分类为营利性或非营利性是一种错误的二分法，因为现有的营利性公司越来越具有社会良知，而非营利性组织正在采取营利活动来确保其生存能力。本文将一系列社会实践概念化为社会创新的连续体，并凭经验证明了法律指定未捕获的变化。本文利用美国北卡罗来纳州的一项调查，研究了整个连续体中的组织如何应对 2008 年经济衰退。结果表明，更多的社会创新组织通过增加环境、社区和员工支持来应对需求的增长。
Categorising organisations as either for-profit or nonprofit is a false dichotomy as existing for-profit firms are becoming more socially conscience while nonprofits are adopting profit-making activities to ensure their viability. This paper conceptualises the array of social practices as a continuum of social innovation and empirically demonstrates variation not captured by legal designation. Using a survey from the US state of North Carolina, this paper examines how organisations across the continuum responded to the 2008 economic recession. Results indicate that more socially innovative organisations responded to the increase in need by increasing environmental, community and employee support.
