gaining popularity; meanwhile,
ethics within social enterprises

to teach and train social
entrepreneurs has also become a

literature related to social
entrepreneurship, a series
of concepts emanate. We
categorized our findings into
three conceptual groups – ethics,
corporate social responsibility
(CSR), and sustainability. Based
on a qualitative meta-analysis
of relevant socially-constructed
discourses, we summarized

these three concepts and social
entrepreneurship. Relevant
educational perspectives have
also been discussed. Considering
the corresponding concepts, social
entrepreneurship is providing
inspiring ideas and vitalizing
traditional entrepreneurship
research. More relevant
