In the past year, half unemployed and part-time workers rose by 0.02 percent and 1.31 percent. There are differences in understanding about whether the business is included in the category of social entrepreneur or not. The variables in this study are human capital, social cognitive social capital, institutional environment, social environment and social impact. Data were collected from in-depth interviews in each of the four cases. The ultimate objective of social entrepreneurship is the “Social Problem Solving”, “Variety of initiatives and activities”, and “Role of change agents”. They refer to social value. The difference between social entrepreneurship with regular entrepreneurship is not that such regular entrepreneurship would be a-social, but rather that social entrepreneurs associate top priority to the creation of social value, while ‘‘economic value creation is seen as a necessary condition to ensure financial viability’’.Keywords: Cross-case analysis method, Entrepreneurship, Poverty, Small-medium enterprise, Social entrepreneurship
