Abstract

Dees (1998) defines entrepreneurship as characteristic of people who adopt a mission to create and sustain social value; recognize and relentlessly pursue new opportunities to serve that mission; continuously innovate, adapt, and learn; act boldly and beyond their resources; and exhibit a high sense of accountability. He sees it as a solution to social issues left unresolved by government and philanthropists. Given the success of the social work carried out by Nike Davies Okundaye, a female Nigerian artist and entrepreneur, this paper investigates how her brand of social entrepreneurship measures up beside the extant literature, and whether it is replicable, especially in developing countries. If it is a good model, then it should be emulated and funding. The approach used is phenomenology, using secondary data about Nike’s work and parameters synthesized by Dees (1998) and Light (2005) seven years apart after deep analyses of the work of earlier scholars.
感动生活:尼日利亚企业家的社会责任模式
迪斯(1998)将企业家精神定义为以创造和维持社会价值为使命的人的特征;认识到并坚持不懈地寻求新的机会来履行这一使命;不断创新、适应和学习;大胆行动,超越他们的资源;并表现出高度的责任感。他认为这是解决政府和慈善家遗留下来的社会问题的办法。鉴于尼日利亚女艺术家和企业家耐克·戴维斯·奥肯达耶(Nike Davies Okundaye)所开展的社会工作的成功,本文调查了她的社会企业家品牌如何与现有文献相比较,以及它是否可复制,特别是在发展中国家。如果它是一个好的模式,那么它应该被模仿和资助。使用的方法是现象学,使用关于耐克工作的二手数据和参数,这些参数是由迪斯(1998)和莱特(2005)在对早期学者的工作进行深入分析后,相隔七年合成的。
