摘要

本文通过人种学方法研究了早期社会企业投资者如何评估社会企业家所做社会企业承诺的可信度。为了揭示投资者如何在可观察到的特征和自我报告的亲社会意图之外执行这项任务，我提出他们对社会企业承诺的评估主要集中在企业家行为的四个相互关联的方面：社会企业指标、社会企业跟踪记录、社会企业管理和社会企业前景。我将这些方面纳入一个框架，解释投资者如何对创业者的影响力承诺产生可信的信念，并为他们的投资决策壮胆。

Evaluating the Credibility of Entrepreneurs’ Impact Promises in Early-Stage Impact Investing

This article investigates ethnographically how early-stage impact investors evaluate the credibility of the impact promises made by social entrepreneurs. Uncovering how investors carry out this task beyond observable characteristics and self-reported prosocial intentions, I propose that their evaluation of impact promises centers on four interrelated aspects of the entrepreneurs’ behavior: impact metrics, impact track record, impact management, and impact prospects. I articulate these aspects into a framework explaining how credible beliefs about entrepreneurs’ impact promises emerge among investors and embolden their investment decisions.
