Abstract:
The need to understand and integrate the theoretical development of organization development (OD) and social entrepreneurship literature is becoming important because of the parallel practices and principles that exist in both fields: humanistic/social values, whole systemic change, and effective sustainable strategy. Thus, this paper explores the relationship between social entrepreneurship and OD. It suggests that the Do Well By Doing Good principle can be used as a guide for integrating the studies of both fields and moving the theoretical development of both fields forward.
