Title: "Essays on the process of social entrepreneurship at the micro-level, meso-level and macro-level"
Summary: "Over the last few years, there has been an abundance of theoritical, conceptual and empirical papers that have made social entrepreneurship navigate from a nascent stage of development to an area of rapid growth with a surge of research output. Despite this widespread and growing research attention, a substantial amount of knowledge gap revolves in our understanding of the process of social entrepreneurship. My PhD dissertation contributes by shedding light on the multi-level nature of social entrepreneurship by examining how the social entrepreneurial process manifests at the micro-level, meso-level and macro-level. The findings of the four chapters of my thesis contribute by generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the social entrepreneurial process by investigating the motivation of women social entrepreneurs, the advantages of hybrid organizing within the context of social entrepreneurship, the strategic relevance of crowdfunding as a funding tool for social entrepreneurs and the macro-level determinants that stimulate or impede the process of social entrepreneurship. The research also suggests that social entrepreneurship is a unique and complex multi-level process."
