The diverse nature of the problems and geographies entails continuous opportunities to enhance social wealth. However, there have been strong disagreements among scholars and practitioners on definitional boundaries, dimensions, and how to identify social entrepreneurs (Santos, 2012, Zahra et al., 2009). It has become a large tent (Martin & Osberg, 2007) that shelters various perspectives to contribute to social value. Interestingly, the scatteredness of the concept is beneficial for scholarly contribution and human development. On the other hand, the institutions’ role is essential to determine who is a social entrepreneur—it will critically distinguish design and management issues. Although global institutes manage the growth of social entrepreneurship based on their defined criteria, it is pertinent to note that institutions differ across countries and regions. Moreover, the differences in social problems, available resources, and political, economic, cultural, and geopolitical environments impact specific development efforts.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLatent Social ValueSustainable Development GoalsBook Chapter125142
