Exploring how social enterprise leaders create social value.
About My Research
Social enterprises tackle social or environmental challenges through commercial activity. Their leaders must sustain the organisation while creating value for both customers and beneficiary communities.My research explores what motivates social enterprise leaders, the capabilities they draw on, and how they work with beneficiary communities to create social value. Through interviews and arts-based research methods, I examine leaders’ experiences and the relationships that shape this work.
The study aims to deepen our understanding of social enterprise leadership and inform how leaders are supported to create social value.UniSQ Human Research Ethics Committee approval number: ETH2024-0588
