The Meaning of .Social Entrepreneurship.
J. Gregory Dees

This article seems like a pretty good over-view of what social entrepreneurship is. I agree with most of the things that were said in the article and was interested by the statement that the ability to sale a produce for more than it costs to make the product is how you determine if something is working or not.


Reshaping Social Entrepreneurship
By Paul C. Light


This article has the same basic theme as the first one, but rather than saying that a social entrepreneur is one person, Light is saying that it is an organization or multiple people. When I thought about social entrepreneurs, I always thought of a group of people working together to get things done. There is no way that anyone can be a social entrepreneur on their own.

Social Entrepreneurship: The Case for a Definition, by Roger L. Martin and Sally Osberg

I think that this article did a good job of breaking down what makes a person into a social entrepreneur. It is apparent for this article that it takes a lot of hard work and commitment to be a entrepreneur, which I think is something that was not clear for the other articles that we read.
