Social Enterprises are important to generate social value and jobs for the socially disadvantaged in the community and promote social entrepreneurship and social innovations. However, running a successful social enterprise is more difficult than running a small and medium-sized enterprise because of the need of social enterprises to balance their primary objective of creating social value and being competitive in order to be sustainable to make a real social impact.
