A Network-Based Approach for Emerging Rural Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Rural social entrepreneurship (RSE) is one of the foundations of rural socio-economic development. However, RSEs have only recently been defined and few major research studies have been conducted. This paper reviewed current research on RSE employs the theoretical constructs of network approach and uses them to the study of RSE. These constructs as RSEs’ function, relating to the structure of networks, social innovation, social learning and social value creation, are found by researchers to have importance in affecting strategy and measuring performance for social enterprise networks in rural areas. At the end, we come up with implications of how using network approach can strengthen the RSEs to develop competitive opportunities for rural areas by RSEs.
