| dc.description.abstract | Despite some practices, the conceptualization of social entrepreneurship and its relevance to development calls for further investigations. This study is thus a preliminary response to such a call. With the purpose of making theoretical propositions, it employs a qualitative inquiry dealing with a range of entrepreneurial activities of three community based organizations (CBOs). It underwent series of stages from problematization through to rigorous literatures review, qualitative data collection and analysis (open, axial and selective along with thematization). In a nutshell, the findings show that community based social entrepreneurship can best be explained and conceptualized using some dimensions (evolution, nature, typology, feature and legality). Along that, the research reveals that social entrepreneurial ventures of community based organizations play considerable roles towards social value creation, asset formation, market services, social innovation and learning, and institutional and societal transformation. On the other hand, the study tips a close watch on potential constraints and popes the prospects and opportunities. Finally, on the basis of the description of the community based social enterprises and the exploration of their relevance to development, some theoretical propositions that underline the importance of CBSE to rural development were put forward. Therefore, in the absence of concrete, comprehensive and conveyable theoretical explanation of social entrepreneurship and community based social entrepreneurial practices in Ethiopia, the study will be paramount in laying foundation to subsequent intellectual inquires. | en_US |
