Social entrepreneurship on the world is growing. The lack of legislation is a major problem of this field in many countries. Therefore, countries need to develop legislation that will contribute to the growth of social entrepreneurship. An important part in the development of social entrepreneurship is also the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the entrepreneurial relationship. Social enterprises around the world could learn a lot from examples of good practices in general entrepreneurship and consequently consider this in their business.
The aim of this master thesis, was to investigate the legal regulation of social entrepreneurship in the European Union, and to make comparative analysis between countries, to explore the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the entrepreneurial relationship of general enterprises and also to point out indicators that influence the development of social entrepreneurship through a correlation analysis.
The results of the content analysis in the literature on social entrepreneurship have shown that there is currently no uniform regulation of this field at the European Union level. I have found out that there are many opportunities for common European legislative frameworks, programs, subsidies, etc. Entrepreneurial ecosystems and entrepreneurial relations also contribute to the development of social entrepreneurship.
The correlation calculation showed the weak link between the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the entrepreneurial relationship with the development of social entrepreneurship. It turned out that other factors of entrepreneurship are also important, namely factors of its development, such as a good support environment for such companies, the existence of legislation, motivation and technology.
In future, analyzing the legal regulation of social entrepreneurship and the exposure of indicators that influence the development of this field, will contribute to a better insight into the actual state of development of social entrepreneurship. There will be a starting point for further research aimed at developing this area.
