| Summary: | In recent years social enterprises have become the subject of public debate as organizations which can
solve many social problems at the local level. Hiring people excluded from the labor market, supporting
and activating local economic operators and finally the provision of social services are only some of
the most basic expectations directed at social enterprises which are constantly growing thanks to public
support. On the other hand, they are also expected to achieve business objectives: to compete on the
market, generate surpluses and even maximize profits. This discordant duality of expectations social
enterprises are forced to face can be conducive to a feeling of unreality of goals and misapprehension
(perhaps even loss) of their own identity. The aim of this paper is to show how social enterprises
balance the realization of their social and economic goals. What is the consequence of a strong focus
on social objectives? Is it the social satisfaction of stakeholders and the enterprise’s dependence on
public resources for financial support? Or maybe focusing on the business side results in the enterprises
generating more power for themselves which enables them to better meet social expectations? |
