Summary, in English
Social entrepreneurship is a hot topic on many campuses around the world. The past decade has seen the birth of many a course on starting up social ventures, the development of whole educational programmes on social innovation, the establishment of university centres for the promotion of social impact and the launch of incubation labs for students who want to make the world a better place. Although some of these initiatives cut across academic faculties, business schools have been swift in embracing the phenomenon and offer a plethora of alternatives for students interested in learning about the social entrepreneurial process or in becoming a social entrepreneur (Kim and Leu 2011; Worsham 2012).
