Abstract

This book contains nine chapters. In Chapter One, Suhaimi Mhd Sarif and Yusof Ismail provide an introduction to the topic of contemporary theory of social entrepreneurship. As for Chapter Two, Mohd Ali Bahari and Suhaimi Mhd Sarif proposed that the historical development of social entrepreneurship is not entirely different from the development of entrepreneurship in the study of the firm. In Chapter Three, Mohd Ali Bahari and Suhaimi Mhd Sarif portrayed the social entrepreneurship development in Malaysia. Chapters Four and Five are contributed by the same team of authors. In Chapter Four, Zarinah Hamid and Zhang Hengchao discussed the economic theories on social entrepreneurship. In Chapter Five, the same authors Zarinah Hamid and Zhang Hengchao discussed the role of social entrepreneurship in the modern economic system. In Chapter Six, Suhaimi Mhd Sarif, Abdullah Sarwar and SM Ferdous Azam elaborated on the role of social entrepreneurship in building societal values in Malaysia. Abdullah Sarwar and Suhaimi Mhd Sarif argued through Chapter Seven that social entrepreneurship research accommodates the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. As if responding to the research methods deliberated in the preceding chapter, Yusof Ismail and Afiqah Abdul Rahman applied three research instruments in their Chapter Eight to ascertain the level of awareness of social entrepreneurship among a small sample. Lastly, in the final chapter, Chapter Nine, Nur Arfifah Abdul Sabian & Yusof Ismail discussed the fundamental thrust on Islamic social entrepreneurship. As an edited book, ours contains a fairly good mixture of inter-related topics that converge on business orientation of social imperative. It presents religious and societal values in broad sense in social entrepreneurship setting.
