Social enterprises of all forms drive inclusive growth by creating social and economic networks, and a stable ecosystem, that enable societies to grow and prosper. This book presents a collection of ten case studies that demonstrate the important role played by social enterprises in driving inclusive growth in Asia’s economies. Unlike the traditional models, such as NGOs and charities, that are donor dependent for funding, a social enterprise is a hybrid business model that includes both social mission and revenue generation goals to ensure sustainability and self-reliance. The ten case studies in the book provide a ringside view of how social enterprises operate and evolve to create, sustain, and scale up their social impact. Readers will gain a practical understanding of how social entrepreneurs struggle to maintain a balance between their two seemingly contradictory goals of creating social value and generating economic returns. The book carries the readers on the journey of each of these ten social enterprises, offering unique and valuable insights into the motivations, tribulations, successes, and even failures of these organisations—critical for continued learning, contribution, and innovation in the domain. The book is appropriate for all readers interested in the role social entrepreneurship plays in stimulating economic growth in Asia, including organisations, government, and universities, as well as individuals.

In the absence of a widely accepted and common definition of social enterprise (SE), a large research project, the "International Comparative Social Enterprise Models" (ICSEM) Project, was carried out over a five-year period; it involved more than 200 researchers from 55 countries and relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the SE phenomenon. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, thus resulting in an analysis encompassing a wide diversity of social enterprises, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major SE models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. These SE models reveal or confirm an overall trend towards new ways of sharing the responsibility for the common good in today’s economies and societies. We tend to consider as good news the fact that social enterprises actually stem from all parts of the economy. Indeed, societies are facing many complex challenges at all levels, from the local to the global level. The diversity and internal variety of SE models are a sign of a broadly shared willingness to develop appropriate—although sometimes embryonic—responses to these challenges, on the basis of innovative economic/business models driven by a social mission. In spite of their weaknesses, social enterprises may be seen as advocates for and vehicles of the general interest across the whole economy. Of course, the debate about privatisation, deregulation and globalised market competition—all factors that may hinder efforts in the search for the common good–has to be addressed as well. The first of a series of four ICSEM books, Social Enterprise in Asia will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and other categories of people who want to acquire a broad understanding of the phenomena of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship as they emerge and develop across the world.

This article argues that there should be a new legal form for social enterprises in Asia that takes into account the distinctive contexts within which different types of social enterprises operate in the different Asian jurisdictions, and that is responsive to the evolving needs of social enterprises and the community. This article advances an analytic framework for understanding and evaluating social enterprise law consisting of (1) corporate purpose; (2) directors' duties; (3) decision-making powers; (4) reporting and certification; and (5) distribution of dividends, assets, and tax benefits. It challenges the dominant assumption that the existing legal forms in Asia are adequate and appropriate to achieve the aims of social enterprises in Asia, using the four leading common law jurisdictions (Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and India) as a case study. It also critiques the legal forms for social enterprises in the UK and the US and find them unsuitable for adoption by the Asian jurisdictions.

This report provides insights to investors keen to invest in the region, financial intermediaries that advise social enterprises (SEs) on capital raising, and developers of platforms seeking to connect SEs in the region with impact investors. Impact Investment Exchange Asia (IIX), an SE based in Singapore, is applying the final outputs of this research as it finalizes the operating features of Asia's first social stock exchange, which it is creating. The outputs of the research will also aid policy makers and institutional actors to better understand and foster an environment for sustainable development through impact investing.

Asia is the birthplace of several successful and large Social Enterprises (SEs) such as Grameen Bank, BRAC and PDA. While extensively covered in the media, these entities are the exception rather than the norm. These SEs were, and some remain, lucky to receive unquestioned government and donor support. Not all the SEs in Asia is in the same position. Unfortunately most of the SEs are mid-sized; with neither have the unlimited access to capital nor the required recognition of their impactful work. At the same time, SEs in Asia operate within contexts that, while impossible to generalise across the whole region, provide some unique opportunities for growth. In an increasing number of instances, SEs are accomplishing the region's socio-economic goals in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. Moreover, Asian SEs are finding increasing opportunities to raise capital, in line with the emergence of an exchange or financial platform specifically for SEs, a rise in Islamic banking and Shariah compliant funds and increasing government interest in incubating social enterprises as a new sector. While SEs have had, and are likely to continue to have, significant impact on their communities, they have received little attention from academia. There is a dearth of analytical research aimed at understanding the causes and impacts of Asia's explosion of social innovation, or of the direction such innovation is likely to take. This paper aims to provide such a comprehensive overview. In particular, this paper will contextualise the efforts to develop a methodology for measuring social impact of sustainable SEs in Asia. By defining the motivations of financial platforms, institutional and retail impact investors, government regulators, clients and operators of SEs in Asia, and how these might differ from those in Europe or the United States, this paper will not only provide a clearer general understanding of the environment in which the Asian SEs thrive and operate, it will also analyse to what ends and how different stakeholders are likely to process the information stemming from such measurement. This work will therefore provide the foundational understanding of how the flow of capital and indeed the entire social enterprise sphere is likely to develop in Asia in the years to come.
