This book contains an Open Access chapter. Recent estimates suggest
that millions of people across the world are involved in some form of
social venture creation. After over a decade of thoughtful scholarship
on social entrepreneurship, researchers have now begun to examine
individuals and organizations that purposefully combine social and
economic outcomes. In Hybrid Ventures, leading researchers examine
individuals and organizations that simultaneously attempt to pursue
such bended value outcomes. Various perspectives on hybrid ventures
are explored in this volume, including: the costs to all when some
entrepreneurs do not pursue hybrid approaches, whether hybrid ventures
are – or should be – the new norm, and whether the social,
environmental, and economic value are distinct and should be separated
from each other. This volume contains both theoretical and empirical
approaches to hybrid venturing from an international group of
researchers. Specific topics include: the emergence of Certified B
Corporations, different hybrid business models, the role of impact
investing, indigenous entrepreneurship, hybrid ventures as “agents
of change,” and more. For nearly two decades, the Advances in
Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth series has provided an
annual examination of the major current research, efforts in the field
of entrepreneurship and Hybrid Ventures: Perspectives & Approaches to
Blended Value Entrepreneurship continue in that tradition. This volume
provides state-of-the-art research that helps set the foundation for
inquiries into important research for the next decade and beyond.
