项目摘要

Social entrepreneurship and social innovation are increasingly promoted by South African policy makers, non-governmental organisations, civil groups, businesses and public sector bodies as a way to address complex and intractable poverty and sustainable development issues as part of a quest for inclusive growth, especially for the marginalized and disenfranchised. Across South Africa non-profits and for-profit socially orientated small businesses are emerging to tackle a wealth of social, environmental and economic issues across townships, in poor rural areas and as part of a sustainable and equitable transformation of South Africa. Larger South African multinationals are also working with social enterprises as part of their corporate social responsibility and economic empowerment initiatives.There has been a corresponding rise in interest in academia in South Africa and across the world. This includes increased social entrepreneurship/innovation research activity at the Centre for Entrepreneurship at Wits and the Network for Social Entrepreneurs at GIBS University of Pretoria, amongst others. South African scholars in these fields, especially those at the start of their career undertaking PhDs or just starting in academia, can often be isolated in the global research environment. There is a need to offer opportunities to reach out to others in similar research areas across South Africa and the rest of the world. Sharing their own insights and learning from others is critical to developing excellent, rigorous and useful research that has the potential to improve the quality and impact of the research being undertaken on social entrepreneurship and innovation in South Africa. Developing research capacity across South Africa through exposure to cutting edge methodological techniques offers the opportunity to strengthen the collection and analysis of data to produce empirically rigorous work. Publishing in high quality outlets with an international reach is also important in showcasing the excellent research occurring in these areas in South Africa to the global research and practitioner communities.Through this NRF ESRC funded "South African PhD Partnering Network for Inclusive Growth through Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SASIE)" we will deliver the SASIE programme and form a SASIE network of global scholars to exchange knowledge, network and collaborate. Its themes will focus on the broad role of enterprise-based development models and in particular all aspects associated with social innovation, social entrepreneurship and enterprise based inclusive growth initiatives. It is delivered through a partnership between the two lead institutions of the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa (Wits) and the University of Essex in the UK with its Doctoral Training Centre in Social Sciences, and a consortium of South African universities. Ten South African PhD placements students will be drawn from across this consortium of Wits, Pretoria and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, with some places available for eligible PhD students from across any South African university. A further 10 PhD placement students will come from across various Schools at the University of Essex .A series of activities are planned over the three year programme that will facilitate sustainable links between partners, improve research capacity and training, and build a research community in South Africa and internationally linked to the SASIE research themes. In brief these comprise of:- A publicly available and searchable database hosted on the project website available to researchers around the work;- Advanced Research Methods Training Workshops available to PhD students and researchers in South Africa;- PhD workshops and Colloquiums;- PhD placements;- Supervisor visits;- A public seminar series showcasing SASIE research; and- Conference attendance bursaries

南非决策者、非政府组织、民间团体、企业和公共部门机构越来越多地推动社会企业家精神和社会创新，将其作为解决复杂和棘手的贫困和可持续发展问题的一种方式，作为寻求包容性增长的一部分，特别是对边缘化和被剥夺权利的人。在南非各地，非营利和营利的社会导向型小企业正在崛起，以解决乡镇和贫困农村地区的大量社会、环境和经济问题，并作为南非可持续和公平转型的一部分。南非大型跨国公司也在与社会企业合作，作为其企业社会责任和经济赋权举措的一部分。南非和世界各地的学术界对此的兴趣也相应增加。这包括Wits创业中心和比勒陀利亚GIBS大学社会企业家网络增加了社会创业/创新研究活动。南非学者在这些领域，特别是那些在他们的职业生涯开始从事博士学位或刚刚开始在学术界，往往可以孤立在全球研究环境。有必要提供机会，与南非和世界其他地区类似研究领域的其他人联系。分享他们自己的见解和向他人学习对于发展优秀、严谨和有用的研究至关重要，这些研究有可能提高南非正在进行的社会创业和创新研究的质量和影响。通过接触最先进的方法技术，在南非各地发展研究能力，为加强数据收集和分析提供了机会，以产生严格的经验工作。在具有国际影响力的高质量渠道出版也是向全球研究和实践者社区展示南非这些领域的优秀研究的重要因素。通过NRF ESRC资助的“南非博士合作网络通过社会创新和创业实现包容性增长（SASIE）”，我们将提供SASIE计划，并形成SASIE全球学者网络，以交流知识，网络和协作。其主题将侧重于以企业为基础的发展模式的广泛作用，特别是与社会创新、社会创业和以企业为基础的包容性增长举措有关的所有方面。它是通过南非威特沃特斯兰德大学（Wits）和英国埃塞克斯大学及其社会科学博士培训中心这两个主要机构以及南非大学联盟之间的伙伴关系提供的。10名南非博士生将从这个由Wits，比勒陀利亚和纳尔逊曼德拉都市大学组成的联盟中选出，其中一些名额可供来自南非任何大学的合格博士生使用。另有10名博士生将来自埃塞克斯大学的各个学院。计划在三年计划中开展一系列活动，促进合作伙伴之间的可持续联系，提高研究能力和培训，并在南非和国际上建立与SASIE研究主题相关的研究社区。简而言之，这些包括：-在项目网站上托管的可供研究人员使用的公开和可搜索的数据库;-南非博士生和研究人员可参加的高级研究方法培训讲习班;-博士讲习班和学术讨论会;-博士学位安排;-主管访问;-展示SASIE研究的公开研讨会系列;以及-会议出席奖学金
