Abstract
The valency of the label entrepreneur in new contexts reflects the cultural influence of business values in society as well as policy pre-occupations with change, innovation and renewal in public services. The question of course is whether and in what ways this is a helpful metaphor. ... what follows is an argument for extending the concept and study of entrepreneurship into social enterprise contexts (which I will define as hybrid organizations), but not to the point where it becomes a purely metaphorical usage.
