Firstly, a word of thanks to my friend Emma Hall (UPenn ’08), who recommended Third Sector Development: Making Up for the Market by Christopher Gunn for my reading list — thanks Emma! =)

Then, several questions I encountered today while researching:

  • Since there is no agreed upon definition of ‘social entrepreneurship/enterprise’ in the current literature, what will my definition of ‘social enterprise’ include?
  • For example, should my thesis be limited to a certain organizational model of social enterprise over another? (i.e. a nonprofit with a for-profit subsidiary vs. a socially responsible business)
  • What are the other senior theses out there that are related to my topic?

FYI, a couple friends and I will be driving up to Massachusetts for the weekend. That means thesis research -and this blog- will be on vacation as well. =) In the meantime, could anyone recommend any good & recent books-on-tape? (and it doesn’t have to be related to social enterprise)
