Abstract

This study explores the similarities and differences in conceptualization of social enterprise in media across global contexts. It locates the popular discourse of social enterprise as the use of private, market based approaches to address social issues and notes the lack of agreement there. It takes the example of United States and South Korea and analyzes the way news media in both countries frame social enterprise and offers implications for practice.
