Hello Everyone,

            Earleir on we had a discussion about corporate entrepreneurs and thier nterest, but this time we are going to be taking a look at SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP and thier major interest concerning the different classes in our modern society that is the lower, middle and upper class.
     Social Entrepreneurship can be defined as a new form of entrepreneurship that exhibits characteristics of nonprofits, government, and businesses. It applies the traditional (private-sector) entrepreneurship's focus on innovation, risk taking and large scale transformation to soial problem.
     Who is a Social Entrepreneur??
A social entrepreneur is a person  or small group of individuals who founds or leads an organization engaged in social entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurs are aimed at providing  for the people at the lower class rather than those in the upper class and at the same time they make profit of thier own and also see the business of that individual grow. A social entrepreneur also works for social capital by founding humanitarian organizations.

• They are also called "public or civic entrepreneurs and also "social innovators".

One major difference between a social entrepreneur and a corporate entrepreneur is that a social entrepreneur is aimed at helping the people at  the lower class by providing thier basic needs, they also gain profit  but they help in the development of these peoples business.

An example of a social entrepreneur is Susan.B. Anthony
