| Summary: | Societies are struggling from an array of social complications. The presence
of such complications can be observed in the form of poverty, education
disparity, malnutrition, inadequate infrastructure and medical services,
environmental hazards, just to name a few. The reduction of such
complications has become a major concern for many countries in various
regions across the world. Thus, today’s societies are in a great need of social
entrepreneurs, as they have the ability to minimise such complications
through the development of sustainable social enterprises. Hence,
individuals’ intention of establishing a social venture has emerged as a more
recent area of inquiry which calls for further exploration. With this thought,
this paper has been crafted for acquiring in-depth insight regarding the
development of social entrepreneurship through exploring the intentions of
future social entrepreneurs and mapping how their intentions will be
translated into reality. The findings suggest that intention to create a social
venture is initiated thorough individuals personal experiences along with
their concern toward helping humanity. Such intentions can be brought to
light through the enhancement of certain skills, social support as well as
overcoming the obstacles that may arise. |
