The emergence of social entrepreneurship in academic and practical domains indicates a social trend and market demand for social change and dissatisfaction to conventional economic rationality. The value of social entrepreneurship attracts involvement of researchers, business managers, and scholars (Certo & Miller, 2008) to facilitate the cohesion of the social-economic relationship to challenge the free market that has higher possibility to be dominated by the unethical corruption (Galbraith 2006) when unbridled capitalism runways and creates social liabilities (Meyer & Kirby, 2012). More than thirty years ago, Asoka Foundation introduced the term of “social entrepreneurship,” pros and cons involves. Eventually, the definition had been concluded from two major organizations through the practitioners’ award, legal boundary construction, and academic research works: (1) Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, 1999); (2) European Research Network (EMES, 1996). In addition to the definitions, three major origins have been concluded: business charity, social venture, and Non Profit Organizations’ transformations (NPOs) that have the possibility to apply social entrepreneurial practices according to social enterprises spectrum (Dees, 1996).
