| Abstract | Social entrepreneurship, as a business model has seen a sharp increase in the last two decades. An organisation that can bring together financial sustainability along with achievement of societal goals gives the necessary sense of purpose to individuals who have the desire as well as a vision to pioneer social change. Scholarly work into understanding the microfoundations of these rganisations has been gaining strength with studies ranging from understanding the ‘individual’ behind these rganisations to the underlying processes that set these apart from traditional entrepreneurial setups. Further, extensive work has been conducted on the paradoxes that these ‘hybrid’ organisations face continually. Social entrepreneurial organisations focusing on environmental goals are gaining substantial traction due to the realisation of the impact that climate change has on the world. These SEs have been termed as ‘ecopreneurial organisations’ in literature. |
