社会企业如何在资源约束情境下实现规模化发展是当前理论界和实践界共同关注的热点问题。现有研究认为,资源拼凑有助于社会企业短期内突破资源约束把握创业机会,但不利于长期内构建竞争优势实现规模化发展。然而,实践中却存在社会企业通过资源拼凑实现低成本规模化发展的独特现象。为了揭示该现象背后的理论机制,本文基于一家与社区共建共享的社会企业案例,构建了社区资源拼凑助力社会企业实现低成本规模化发展的过程模型。研究发现:社区资源拼凑行动是社会企业突破资源约束实现低成本规模化发展的关键路径。随着社会企业规模化发展水平从注重数量到注重质量的转变,其社区资源拼凑行动也从注重拼凑本地和异地社区资源逐渐转向对社区资源的效率治理。研究结论深化了对资源拼凑与社会企业规模化发展关系的科学认识,同时为社会企业与社区共建共享创新解决社会问题,增强社区治理提供了重要实践启示。 |

Abstract: |
Academics and practitioners have increasingly explored how social enterprises achieve scaling under the context of resource constraints. Existing studies believe that resource bricolage can help social enterprises overcome resource constraints and seize entrepreneurial opportunities in the short term, but may not lead to scaling in the long term. However, in practice, some social enterprises can realize long-term scaling by making use of underutilized community resources with low cost. To reveal the theoretical mechanism behind this phenomenon, it constructed a process model of how social enterprises achieve scaling through community resource bricolage based on the case study of how a social enterprise co-creates with the community. The results show that community resource bricolage is a key path for social enterprises to break through resource constraints and achieve low-cost scaling. As the scaling focus of the social enterprise changes from quantity to quality, its community resource activities also gradually shift from the bricolage of local and remote community resources to efficient management of community resources. It deepens our scientific understanding of the relationship between resource bricolage and the scaling of social enterprises, and provides practical implications for social enterprises and communities to co-create innovative solutions to social problems. |
