Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the significant dynamic capabilities (DCs) that facilitate the development of social enterprises (SEs). The paper synthesises the findings of identified seven qualitative studies to provide a conceptual framework for the interaction of various factors and DCs that lead to the achievement of dual-mission goals of SEs. The study recognises the capabilities of SEs that contribute towards the enhancement of their capacities to sense opportunities, seise opportunities, and reconfigure their resource base. In this paper, the authors have employed a meta-synthesis approach that involves the eight-step meta-synthesis method proposed by Hoon. The findings of this study emphasise various DCs of SEs that enable them to achieve continuous social improvement and socio-economic success. It also brings forth the critical factors that enable the development of DCs in SEs. The study will benefit the social entrepreneurs as well as academicians to acknowledge the significance of DCs in SEs, which will assist them in managing resources in their pursuit of dual-mission goals. This study contributes to the debate in the social entrepreneurship (SE) literature regarding developing the theory of DCs in SEs. Furthermore, the factors identified in this study as enablers for developing DCs in SEs have not been discussed in prior research.

摘要

本文的目的是介绍促进社会企业 (SE) 发展的重要动态能力 (DC)。该论文综合了确定的七项定性研究的结果，为各种因素和 DC 的相互作用提供了一个概念框架，这些因素和 DC 导致了 SE 的双重任务目标的实现。该研究承认社企的能力有助于增强其感知机会、抓住机会和重新配置其资源基础的能力。在本文中，作者采用了一种元合成方法，该方法涉及 Hoon 提出的八步元合成方法。这项研究的结果强调了社企的各种 DC，使它们能够实现持续的社会进步和社会经济成功。它还提出了能够在 SE 中发展 DC 的关键因素。这项研究将有利于社会企业家和院士认识到 DC 在社企中的重要性，这将有助于他们管理资源以实现双重使命目标。这项研究有助于社会创业 (SE) 文献中关于在 SE 中发展 DC 理论的辩论。此外，本研究中确定的因素作为在 SE 中发展 DC 的推动因素在先前的研究中没有讨论过。这项研究有助于社会创业 (SE) 文献中关于在 SE 中发展 DC 理论的辩论。此外，本研究中确定的因素作为在 SE 中发展 DC 的推动因素在先前的研究中没有讨论过。这项研究有助于社会创业 (SE) 文献中关于在 SE 中发展 DC 理论的辩论。此外，本研究中确定的因素作为在 SE 中发展 DC 的推动因素在先前的研究中没有讨论过。
