20.500.12556/DKUM-91547 Overview of social entrepreneurship development in Slovenia The aim of the article is to analyze public policies of social entrepreneurship in Slovenia and their developmental phases, the characteristics of social economy organizations, and to assess the framework conditions for social entrepreneurship by social enterprises. Since social entrepreneurship follows mainly social objectives, it needs the support of the ecosystem to develop properly. The EU allows the Member States to regulate social entrepreneurship itself, so Slovenia has formalized the social entrepreneurship domain through national-level legislation. In the article, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is applied, using primary data on social enterprises and a case study approach. The results of the analysis of social economy organizations in Slovenia indicate that the formal status of social enterprises covers a wide range of organizations and their share is low in the national context. The analysis of the case study organizations indicates that the legislation is considered as the main factor hindering the development of social entrepreneurship. Moreover, their assessment of public policies is rather judgmental and disapproving. In general, the results reveal that although the area of social entrepreneurship in Slovenia is developing, a vision and long-term strategy is still lacking and the implementation of supportive environment incentives is insufficient. social entrepreneurship public policies social economy case studies Slovenia socialno podjetništvo javne politike socialna ekonomija študije primerov podjetja razvoj Slovenija true false true Faculty of Political Sciences, Public Administration and Communication Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-01-14 14:01:30 2025-01-14 14:33:31 2025-01-15 03:13:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 Str. 5-21 Št. 60 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2020-06-22 005.5(497.4) 20702723 10.24193/tras.60E.1 1842-2845 Bradac_Hojnik-2020-OVERVIEW_OF_SOCIAL_ENTREPRE.pdf Bradac_Hojnik-2020-OVERVIEW_OF_SOCIAL_ENTREPRE.pdf 1 BBF0A490AAA1AA3B1AA6FA0CCCC4DD35 def519033d83447792b7cbc1b650b2eab8e68eaef751f875c6c410e25d2cb910 746ca46d-d27b-11ef-b886-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187824 https://doi.org/10.24193/tras.60E.1 0 ae0fddd8-d277-11ef-b886-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187822 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
