International Social Entrepreneurship Research Colloquium (ISER of Kean USA - Wenzhou Kean University).
The purpose of International Social Entrepreneurship Research Colloquium at the College of Business and Public Management, Kean (Union, USA & Wenzhou, China) is to create new knowledge of 'Social Entrepreneurship.'
Social entrepreneurship is an approach by start-up companies and entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. A social entrepreneur creates and operates a social enterprise that is an organization that applies business strategies to maximize improvements in financial, social and environmental well-being through social impact. Social impact is the net effect of an activity on the social fabric of the community and the well-being of individuals and families.
The research colloquium addresses these research inquiries:
- What does drive social entrepreneurship?
- How to develop social entrepreneurs?
- What does strategic intervention or policy create a mass-scale social impact?
- How can we transform 'cultural, social, and human' assets into social values?
- What managerial applications boost social innovation?
- What are the commonalities and differences between American and Chinese social enterprises and social entrepreneurs?
The research colloquium disseminates research outcomes at academic journals, academic or professional conferences, classroom teachings, mass-media, and social network services to create social impacts.
