Knowledge capital in social and commercial entrepreneurship: Investigating the role of informal institutions
Abstract
This paper utilizes the lenses of knowledge capital and institutional theories to examine the role knowledge capital plays in the context of entry into social versus commercial entrepreneurship. We also investigate the moderating role of national culture in the relationship between knowledge capital and entrepreneurship. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, we find that social capital is relatively more important in social entrepreneurship than commercial entrepreneurship. We also find that national culture moderates this relationship such that in high individualism cultures, specific human capital is directed towards commercial entrepreneurship compared to social entrepreneurship. However, in high uncertainty avoidance cultures, social capital is directed towards social entrepreneurship rather than commercial entrepreneurship. Our findings uncover the nature of the contingent effects of informal institutions on the relationship between knowledge capital and entrepreneurship, leading to important implications for theory and development policy.

Współpraca administracji publicznej i przedsiębiorstw społecznych – mit czy realna szansa?
Jak przekonać administrację publiczną, zwłaszcza szczebla lokalnego do wspierania rozwoju ekonomii społecznej ? Jakich argumentów użyć, żeby unaocznić korzyści z rozwoju ekonomii społecznej? Jakiego wsparcia rzeczywiście potrzebują przedsiębiorstwa społeczne ? O czym trzeba pamiętać uruchamiając nowy społeczny biznes?
To tylko kilka pytań na jakie odpowiedzi szukali partnerzy projektu “Rozwój przedsiębiorczości społecznych w Basenie Morza Bałtyckiego” przygotowując “Rekomendacje dla Administracji Publicznej w zakresie wspierania rozwoju przedsiębiorstw społecznych” oraz “Rekomendacje dla nowych przedsiębiorstw społecznych w zakresie tworzenia ścieżki rozwoju”, do zapoznania się z którymi serdecznie zapraszamy.
Prace nad rekomendacjami prowadzono w 6 krajach nadbałtyckich, tj. w Polsce, Danii, Szwecji, Finlandii, Łotwie i Litwie, stworzenie pełnego dokumentu zostało poprzedzone badaniami ankietowymi wśród przedstawicieli sektora ekonomii społecznej, wywiadami fokusowymi z ekspertami oraz pogłębiona analizą krajowych i europejskich dokumentów strategicznych. W pełnej wersji publikacji dostępnej w języku anghielskim możecie Państwo znaleźć krótką analizę sytuacji przedsiębiorstw społecznych w każdym z wymienionych krajów oraz rekomendacje zarówno dla jednostek administracji publicznej i przedsiębiorstw społecznych dotyczące tego jak efektywnie można rozwijać, wzmacniać i promować przedsiębiorstwa społeczne.

United Kingdom is well know as the pioner in the field of supporting and stimulating development of social economy sector. The system and wide approach to the topic of social enterpreneurship of British Goverments is worth to follow.
After implementing the social clauses in public procurements, organizing social economy support system, creating a methodology of measuring social impact (SROI), implementing the social bond mechanism, time has come for social investments.
British Government published a very interesting document “Social investment: a force for social change. 2016 strategy” which can be an inspiration for decision – makers, politicians and representatives of social economy sector to transfer good practices in their reality or at least start lobbing for this process.
