Abstract

What are the factors that affect the sustainability of Social Enterprises in China? This study explores these factors using a comprehensive framework that encompasses the dimensions of social environment, business model, and entrepreneur. Based on this framework, a cross-case study is performed on three disabled-care social enterprises in China. The results find that: motivation and creativity are essential qualities that successful social entrepreneurs possess; obtaining self-sufficiency, competitive advantage in the market, and legitimacy is crucial for sustainability; the lack of legal identity, financial support, and publicity hurdle the sustainable development of social enterprises in China, and more institutional support should be established in the legal framework. This study offers holistic insights into the conditions of social enterprises in China, and serves as a guide for social enterprises’ strategic management and government policy formulation.
