Social entrepreneurship in the 21st century economy is an altruistic form of entrepreneurship, differently from the models of the last century, it puts the entrepreneur at the center of the economy and sees him or her as an essential driver for social transformation and innovation.
Simply put, entrepreneurship becomes a social enterprise when it transforms social capital in a way that positively affects society. Social entrepreneurs recognize the immediate social problems, but also seek to understand the broader context, not forgetting the generation of profits for the maintenance and financial sustainability of the venture.
This is a very interesting economic model, as well as being the model that Western economies are committed to for the sustainable development of their societies.
