Abstract

This study deals with the first empirical study on a performance typology of social enterprises (SEs). Based upon a sample of 61 Greek SEs, the empirical findings outline how the group of ‘Impact Maximisers’ (43 SEs) performs better than the group of ‘Social Missionaries’ (18 SEs). This paper goes beyond the evident focus on qualitative research and practice within the social entrepreneurship field. By discussing how different dimensions shed light on the performance potential of SEs in a European country, where they grow exponentially, this study serves as a bellwether for performance comparisons across Europe.

基于绩效的社会企业类型学：一些新证据

摘要

本研究涉及对社会企业 (SE) 绩效类型学的首次实证研究。基于 61 家希腊社会企业的样本，实证结果概述了“影响力最大化者”（43 家社会企业）群体的表现如何优于“社会传教士”群体（18 家社会企业）。本文超越了对社会创业领域内定性研究和实践的明显关注。通过讨论不同维度如何揭示一个欧洲国家 SE 的绩效潜力，它们呈指数增长，本研究作为整个欧洲绩效比较的风向标。
