Despite the burgeoning research on social entrepreneurship (SE), SE strategies
remain poorly understood. Drawing on extant research on the social activism and
social change, empowerment and SE models, we explore, classify and validate the
strategies used by 2,334 social entrepreneurs affiliated with the world's largest
SE support organization, Ashoka. The results of the topic modeling of the social
entrepreneurs' strategy profiles reveal that they employed a total of 39
change-making strategies that vary across resources (material versus symbolic
strategies), specificity (general versus specific strategies), and mode of
participation (mass versus elite participation strategies); they also vary across
fields of practice and time. Finally, we identify six meta-SE strategies-a
reduction from the 39 strategies-and identify four new meta-SE strategies (i.e.,
system reform, physical capital development, evidence-based practices, and
prototyping) that have been overlooked in prior SE research. Our findings extend
and deepen the research into SE strategies and offer a comprehensive model of SE
strategies that advances theory, practice and policy making.
