Abstract

Previous researchers developed a comprehensive typology for categorizing social entrepreneurship; however, their framework does not fully address some emerging forms. This paper offers a critical addition to their model by introducing the “transnational pragmatist”, a type of social entrepreneur with a grassroots background who creates a community-centric social enterprise in a foreign context. Through insights gained from interviews with social entrepreneurs, this paper identifies and defines the transnational pragmatist as a distinct category that fills a significant gap in Abebe’s framework. Our contribution broadens the typology to better capture smaller for-profit and nonprofit ventures operating transnationally, enhancing the model’s relevance for international social entrepreneurs from humble origins.
Keywords: social enterprise; international social entrepreneurship; transnational entrepreneurship; transnational pragmatist; typology of social entrepreneurs social enterprise; international social entrepreneurship; transnational entrepreneurship; transnational pragmatist; typology of social entrepreneurs
