SES-1602784Brayden KingNevena RadoynovskaNorthwestern UniversitySocial entrepreneurship - broadly understood as the use of market principles to address social needs - has raised high expectations for curbing global poverty and social exclusion. Yet, despite impressive growth in attention to social entrepreneurship, surprisingly little is known about when, how and why it succeeds or fails in addressing social problems. Beyond theoretical contributions of interest to scholars, the project has potential implications for the expanding regional, national and supranational institutions that have turned to social entrepreneurship in the face of scarce public funding and growing socio-economic inequalities. Study findings could possibly offer valuable insights for tailoring social entrepreneurship policies to local needs, opportunities, and power structures, as well as for identifying when alternative (or additional) actors and initiatives might be leveraged to address poverty and social exclusion.This dissertation uses mixed methods to investigate the factors and mechanisms that help and/or hinder social entrepreneurship in addressing poverty and social exclusion. The empirical context is social entrepreneurship in Paris and its surrounding 'banlieues' - communities marked by disproportionate levels of poverty, unemployment and additional forms of exclusion. Part I uses national-level quantitative data (an original dataset of 1033 French social enterprises selected on the basis of organizational form and entrepreneurial profile) to investigate the conditions under which social entrepreneurs/enterprises succeed or fail in terms of their economic survival and social mission(s). Using event history analysis (2002-2015), the project analyzes the founding and survival rates of social enterprises based on their geographic location, sector of activity, founder and community characteristics, and commercial and social organizational missions. Part II relies on semi-structured interviews to investigate how different actors construct the meaning of success, failure and impact in social entrepreneurship, and the mechanisms that limit SE's ability to reduce social exclusion in communities. Interviews are conducted with three groups of actors in the Ile-de-France region of France: (1) founders/current directors of social enterprises, (2) strategic directors of organizations providing support (e.g., financial, training, mentorship, networking) to social entrepreneurs and enterprises, and (3) "unsuccessful" social entrepreneurs who had an entrepreneurial idea but did not ultimately found an organization and/or whose social enterprise was dissolved within a year of establishment. Interviews are transcribed and translated from French, analyzed first inductively, then systematically using qualitative coding software (Atlas.ti). The quantitative dataset, findings, codebook, and aggregate summary data from Atlas.ti will be made available to the public, while executive summaries will be provided to each participating organization/individual as well as interested policy-makers and public institutions.

SES-1602784 Brayden KingNevena RadoynovskaNorthwestern UniversitySocial entrepreneurship -广泛理解为利用市场原则来解决社会需求-提高了对遏制全球贫困和社会排斥的高度期望。然而，尽管对社会企业家精神的关注令人印象深刻，但令人惊讶的是，人们对它在解决社会问题方面何时、如何以及为什么成功或失败知之甚少。除了对学者感兴趣的理论贡献外，该项目对不断扩大的区域，国家和超国家机构具有潜在的影响，这些机构在面临公共资金稀缺和社会经济不平等日益加剧的情况下转向社会创业。研究结果可能会提供有价值的见解，为定制的社会创业政策，以当地的需求，机会和权力结构，以及确定替代（或额外）的行为者和举措时，可能会被利用来解决贫困和social exclusion.This论文使用混合方法来调查的因素和机制，帮助和/或阻碍社会创业在解决贫困和社会排斥。实证背景是社会企业家在巴黎及其周边的“郊区”-社区的贫困，失业和其他形式的排斥不成比例的水平。第一部分使用国家层面的定量数据（根据组织形式和企业家形象选择的1033家法国社会企业的原始数据集），调查社会企业家/企业在经济生存和社会使命方面成功或失败的条件。该项目利用事件历史分析（2002-2015），根据社会企业的地理位置、活动部门、创始人和社区特征以及商业和社会组织使命，分析社会企业的创立和存活率。第二部分依赖于半结构化的访谈，调查不同的演员如何构建成功的意义，失败和社会企业家的影响，以及限制SE的能力，以减少社会排斥的机制在社区。访谈对象是法国伊勒-德-法国地区的三组行动者：（1）社会企业的创始人/现任董事，（2）提供支持的组织的战略董事（例如，（3）“不成功”的社会企业家，他们有创业的想法，但最终没有找到一个组织和/或他们的社会企业在成立一年内解散。访谈从法文转录和翻译，首先进行归纳分析，然后使用定性编码软件（Atlas.ti）进行系统分析。Atlas.ti中的定量数据集、调查结果、代码本和汇总摘要数据将向公众提供，而执行摘要将提供给每个参与组织/个人以及感兴趣的政策制定者和公共机构。
