EasyChair Preprint no. 6322

Abstract

The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and how social enterprises manage to maximize their social impact are still under research and constitute the most vital issues in the social entrepreneurship field, while little empirical research has been concentrated on them so far. Drawing on scholarship on organizational theory and social entrepreneurship theory, we studied a sample of ten Greek social enterprises. Our findings indicated that the Greek social enterprises took as an opportunity the challenges addressed by this unprecedented crisis and achieved to maximize their social impact with various approaches.

Note: The original paper is already under review process to an academic journal.
