This typology breaks down the traditional boundaries between the nonprofit
and private sectors and draws definition to this new institutional animal--part
business-part social--the social enterprise. In doing so, the typology explores
how institutions have combined a mix of social values and goals with
commercial business practices and how they have come up with ownership models, income and capitalization strategies, and unique management and
service systems designed to maximize social value. The illustrative typology
classifies different models of social enterprise in order to navigate readers
through the currently ill-defined, diverse and dynamic landscape of this
emerging field.
