Social entrepreneurship has increasingly emerged as
an important strength for solving social problems and promoting social
innovation, and has quietly become an emerging issue in management. This paper
is based on antecedents-processes-performance of social entrepreneurship. The
perspectives and theories mainly involve theory of planned behavior,
entrepreneurial intention model; Hockers modified model, social capital theory,
social network theory, institutional theory, event system theory, performance
measurement model, etc. The results show that the research mainly focuses on
the antecedents, establishment and management of social entrepreneurship, but
less attention of sociological perspectives such as social governance and
population theory, and also lacks attention to entrepreneurial performance. The
theoretical framework of social entrepreneurship needs to be further improved.
Finally, it was pointed out that future research topics should focus more on
the internal problems of social enterprises, the interplay of factors affecting
social entrepreneurship, the disciplinary study of social entrepreneurship, and
the institutional and cultural context of different countries.
