Social Entrepreneurship Success: Relevance to Social Mediating Technologies

Abstract

Implementing effective social entrepreneurship can result in a better redistribution of wealth and well-being in society. Social mediating technologies are digital transformation tools that can fulfill specific goals and the success of social entrepreneurship. This paper aims to answer the following research question: What makes social entrepreneurship successful and what is its relevance to social mediating technologies? This paper utilizes a meta-analysis method through a review of the literature, data analyses, and inductive reasoning to reach two research propositions: (1) social mediating technologies support the achievement of social entrepreneurship success and social network capabilities, and (2) social mediating technologies and social network capabilities support the realization of social entrepreneurship success. These two propositions have been further validated through industrial data analyses. A conceptual framework has been created and analyzed to portray the research question. The framework has created three constructs, including social mediating technologies, social network capabilities, and social entrepreneurship success. This study contributed to the social entrepreneurship field by adopting technological success factors and establishing the inter-relationships among these three constructs in the framework.
