  17. Towns • Social Enterprise Town - Alston Moor, Cumbria • The Parish of Alston Moor is a small rural community in North Cumbria with a population of 2,100. The first social enterprise was setup in 1983 with 19 social enterprises operating in the community delivering services otherwise not accessible to local people. Over the years, many key services have been cut and because of its small population and isolation, businesses struggle to survive. • These issues have stimulated a strong sense of self help and entrepreneurship, resulting in a hot bed of social enterprises and community owned businesses, delivering a range of services including broadband, transport, leisure and tourism. The sector has a combined annual turnover of around £1 million. • Other examples: Transition towns

  18. Corporations • Corporate social responsibility • Can you identify companies that engage in corporate social responsibility? Why do they do it? Is it entrepreneurial?

  19. Hybrids – Private organisations • Are there organisations that encapsulate public, private and voluntary sectors?

  20. Theoretical Lenses • The power and dominance of the enterprise discourse • Institutional isomorphism theory • Theories of trust, different dimensions • Social capital • Responsibility, altruism, reciprocity • Stewardship theory • Resources based theory
