The DriversThe Drivers
Shift towards a knowledge economy where mind, spirit and body are essential ingredients
Substantial increase in public investment in institutions (global – UN, National – Sports Leagues, meso – level – Universities) and programs to stimulate such activities
Growth of increased partnerships involving firms, universities, civil society and government agencies that has led to several policy initiatives i.e. increase in the incidence of public , civil society and private partnerships
Uncertain future with threats of environmental and economic collapse, terrible diseases, pervasive poverty, overpopulation, war, terrorism, youth violence, human disabilities and the fact that efforts of government and institutions have proven insufficient to reverse these trends
Some Basic ConceptsSome Basic Concepts Entrepreneurship refers to the perception of opportunity and the ability to
act on that perception –this has business, social and public policy implications. Entrepreneurs have the DNA to sense opportunities and taken action
Innovation in a static sense has two aspects, notably, invention meaning the creation of something new and, second, the invention becoming an innovation when it is put in use. A dynamic view whereby an invention becomes an innovation – innovation process.
Technology refers to an innovation . Its broader form entails technological ethic and organizational technology. Technology change describes an entire social process related to productivity, economic growth together with its social threats
Sports and its agent, the athlete (physical representation of sports), refer to a specific physical or tangible tool – an innovation. In a broader sense, it entails sports ethics or institutional sports.
Entrepreneurial sports describes an entire social process and social change with implications for business, social and public policy
Athletes are incredibly persistent and willing to experiment; they need to achieve and have a high tolerance for ambiguity; and they have something to prove and always seeking for opportunities to exploit
Social entrepreneurship refers to innovative and effective activities that focus strategically on resolving social market failures** and creating new opportunities to add social value systematically by using a range of resources and organizational formats to maximize an enduring social impact and bring about change(Nicholls)
**refers to the other invisible hand: legal and fiscal arrangements that serve to channel moral sentiments(Smith), motivations of care, civic energy, social commitments into practical form and, thus, into service of the common good (Mulgan and Landry, 1996)

ConclusionConclusion Sports and its agents(athletes) map extremely well unto
Entrepreneurship & Entrepreneurs – they posses similar DNAs
Sports in society can benefit from a social entrepreneurial model based on concepts of social entrepreneurship
The acute need for research in this field is the same as that of social entrepreneurship, both fields that are characterized by their youth and fraught with much rhetoric. The social entrepreneurship model is a step in that direction
