Social entrepreneurship (SE) continues to garner attention inboth the academic and practice communities. With increasedattention comes increased scrutiny of what exactly is and is notSE. Existing conceptualizations range from nonprofit commercialactivity to successful management. The lack of cohesion on socialentrepreneurship has limited progression of inquiry in this area.In order to advance SE scholarship I developed a conceptualizationof SE grounded in the realities of the nonprofit sector. Thisconceptualization is the catalytic behavior of nonprofitorganizations that engenders value and change in the sector,community, and/or industry through the combination of innovation,risk-taking, and proactiveness. Using this conceptualization myresearch constructed, and tested a scale that can measure SE. Theempirical test of the SE scale validated the behavioralconceptualization of SE established in the initial phase of thisresearch. Additionally, SE organizations scored significantlyhigher than non-entrepreneurial organizations, indicating the scalewas effective in recording levels of nonprofit entrepreneurialbehavior.
