PurposeThe aim of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to map out the current state of the research on collaboration in the context of social entrepreneurship organisations (SEOs), synthesise this line of research and advance a research agenda.Design/methodology/approachA SLR of 40 scientific articles found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases built the foundation for an analysis of the state-of-the-art of the research addressing the interplay of SEOs and collaboration. This area of research has been very recent since the selected articles have been published since 2005 and more than half of which have appeared since 2017.FindingsThe findings suggest that collaboration is increasingly perceived as a crucial entrepreneurial activity and process for SEOs. The results indicate that collaboration is a vibrant and rapidly growing line of research which spans different fields of study, contexts, varied theoretical perspectives and multiple units of analysis. Furthermore, a total of five key research themes are identified pertaining to collaboration in the context of SEOs, such as motivations and strategies of collaboration, its antecedents, the interplay of institutional logics and tensions arising in collaboration, the impact of collaboration on the mission of SEOs and collaborative processes and practices.Originality/valueTo lend structure to this fragmented field of inquiry, this study systematically reviews and synthesises research on collaboration in the context of SEOs. In doing so, the study reveals that this line of research is under-researched, offering a significant scope for further scrutiny.

社会创业组织与合作：盘点与展望

目的本系统文献综述 (SLR) 的目的是绘制出社会创业组织 (SEO) 背景下合作研究的现状，综合这一研究方向并推进研究议程。设计/方法/方法A SLR在 Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中发现的 40 篇科学文章中，为分析解决 SEO 和协作的相互作用的研究的最新技术奠定了基础。自从选定的文章自 2005 年以来发表以来，这一研究领域一直是最近的，其中一半以上是自 2017 年以来出现的。调查结果表明，协作越来越被视为 SEO 的关键创业活动和过程。结果表明，合作是一个充满活力且快速发展的研究方向，跨越不同的研究领域、背景、不同的理论观点和多个分析单元。此外，在 SEO 的背景下，共确定了与合作有关的五个关键研究主题，例如合作的动机和策略、合作的前因、制度逻辑的相互作用和合作中产生的紧张关系、合作对合作使命的影响。搜索引擎优化和协作过程和实践。原创性/价值为了为这个分散的调查领域提供结构，本研究系统地回顾和综合了搜索引擎优化背景下的协作研究。在这样做的过程中，该研究表明，这一研究方向的研究不足，
