This special issue explores how social entrepreneurship contributes to social good in an era of technological and societal transformation. It focuses on how AI, digitalization, automation, and broader institutional changes reshape social enterprises, hybrids, nonprofits, and public‑sector entrepreneurs, and how they maintain mission integrity while adapting to new operating contexts. The SI welcomes conceptual, empirical, and methodological work that connects social entrepreneurship to inclusion, accountability, and humane governance in transforming environments.
