UK Definition
• ‘Social enterprise’ means an enterprise whose primary objective is to achieve social impact rather than generate profit for owners and stakeholders. It operates in the market through the production of goods and services in an entrepreneurial and innovative way, and uses surpluses mainly to achieve social goals. It is managed in an accountable and transparent way, in particular by involving workers, customers and stakeholders affected by its business activity.
See DTI (2002) A Strategy for Social Enterprise, London: HM Treasury, p7.
Cross Sector Theory
• Hybridisation (Nyssens, 2006:318)
• "…we argue that social enterprises mix the economic principles of market, redistribution and reciprocity, and hybridize their three types of economic exchange so that they work together rather than in isolation from each other."
• Leadbeater's Model (1997)• First theorisation of social entrepreneurship as cross-sector
• Recognises private and public sector influences
• Does not see social enterprise as a distinct sector
• Does this lead to hybrid forms of organisation?

Cross-Sector Theory of Social Enterprise
Type A Non-Profit Model
Public interest outlook, hostility to private sector ownership and equity finance.
Between public and third sectors.
'Non-profit' - obtains grants and/or contracts from public sector and third sector organisations - structured to prevent profit and asset transfers.
Type B Corporate Social Responsibility Model
Suspicious of the third sector as a viable partner in public service delivery and economic development.
Between public and private sectors.
Corporate social responsibility projects - environmental, ethical or fair trade business - ‘for-profit’ employee‑owned business.
Type C More That Profit Model
Antipathy to the state (central government); realistic about the state’s capacity to oppress minorities.
Between private and third sectors.
Single or dual stakeholder co‑operative, charity trading arm, membership society / association, or a trust that uses trading surpluses to increase social investment.
Type D
(ideal)
Multi-Stakeholder Model
Replaces public, private and third sector competition with a democratic multi-stakeholder model.
At the overlap of all three sectors.
Multi-stakeholder, democratic enterprise using direct and representative democracy to achieve equitable social and economic benefits.

Summary
• We often think of social with only one meaning for the entire sector.
• Social enterprise is a useful umbrella terms for any (democratic) organisational form / activity where ‘people are not in it for the money’ but still generate a financial surplus.
• Social enterprises transcend traditional sector boundaries and have the potential to form a social economy with distinct characteristics.
• Models and diagrams can help to describe and explain the boundaries of the social economy, and its link to other economic sectors.
