Resumo: The concept of social enterprise is increasingly gaining academic interest worldwide and is increasingly becoming an integral component of the mainstream economies of many countries, including the Unite Kingdom. Despite persistent interest from academics, the concept is relatively underdeveloped inherently complex and there are various aspects of social enterprise that remain largely under researched compared to conventional businesses. Given the advent of globalisation and increased competition social enterprises are under pressure to provide more innovative solutions to social problems that society in the UK faces. Through a comprehensive literature review of social enterprises, this paper scrutinises the evolution of these organisations as they adapt to changes in the environment in which they operates. The discussions show a cultural shift in the conceptualisation and practice of social enterprises in the country.

Apesar do interesse persistente de acadêmicos, o conceito é relativamente subdesenvolvido e inerentemente complexo e há vários aspectos da empresa social que permanecem em grande parte em pesquisa quanto à comparação com as empresas convencionais. Dado o advento da globalização e o aumento da concorrência, empresas sociais estão “sob pressão” para fornecer soluções mais inovadoras para problemas sociais que a sociedade no Reino Unido enfrenta. Por meio de uma ampla revisão da literatura de empresas sociais, o presente trabalho analisa a evolução destas organizações, como essas se adaptaram às mudanças no ambiente em que operam. As discussões mostram uma mudança cultural na conceitualização e prática das empresas sociais no país.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE2015-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/1558310.5585/ijsm.v14i3.2259Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 14, No 3 (2015): July/September; 06-14Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia; Vol 14, No 3 (2015): July/September; 06-142176-0756reponame:Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAEinstname:Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)instacron:RIEOEIenghttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/article/view/15583/7601Copyright (c) 2015 Iberoamerican Journal of Strategic Managementhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMswaka, Walter2019-09-26T16:43:01Zoai:https://periodicos.uninove.br:article/15583Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riaePRIhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/riae/oai||bennycosta@yahoo.com.br2176-07562176-0756opendoar:2019-09-26T16:43:01Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia - RIAE - Revista Ibero-Americana de Estratégia (RIAE)false
