Social entrepreneurship has emerged in recent years given its importance for societal development and increasing today’s economy. To some extents, institutions have failed to resolve the social problems and needs of the rural areas. In this regard, social entrepreneurship gives a new groundwork for the socio-economic development of the rural people in India. It is high time to adopt it as the alternative solutions to the problems faced by the rural people. Until now there has been less inclusive attempt to specify the extent of social entrepreneurship to the rural populated areas and it demands a new development approach to identify the methods to encourage social innovations both at local and regional levels. Therefore, this paper aims to start filling this gap by exploring the implications of social entrepreneurship and social networks that could better enable sustainable rural development. This paper also argued that social entrepreneurship is the distinct approach to achieve sustainable rural development and suggestions are given for ensuring a successful social entrepreneurship in India.
A conceptual study of social entrepreneurshipdeshwal852
Social entrepreneurship is a unique entrepreneurship which is totally driven by the societal problems. Business entrepreneurship focuses on wealth creation and is of interest because of its potential to fuel economic development whereas social entrepreneurship focuses on ‘making the world a better place’ and creating social capital. Social entrepreneurs are driven by an ethical obligation and desire to improve their communities and societies. In this back drop an attempt is made to highlight the importance, ethics and preparation of young social entrepreneurs. All the relevant data was collected
through review of available literature.
Understanding the youth for embracing rural entrepreneurship as a careerdeshwal852
Entrepreneurship stands as a vehicle to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain a healthy economy and environment. The majority of the rural population depends directly on agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship can play an important role for the growth of a
country. The present study is an exploratory research work that was focused on finding the difference between urban and rural male and female students for rural entrepreneurship. A sample of 240 students was considered for study. 120 students were male and rest 120 students were female. Random convenient sampling was used to collect the data. Chi-square test was used to interpret the data. Results

In this paper, we addressed issues regarding the importance of social innovation (SI) and
social entrepreneurship (SE) within a society which is in a profound and rapid change and
transformation that marks all the areas of social life. The fundamental objective of the study was to
analyze the concepts of social innovation and social entrepreneurship as providers of both social
value and growth of life quality. We highlighted the inter-conditioning relationship between these
two concepts and showed the need for social innovations to respond to some challenges of the
society, such as aging, budgetary pressure and others. This paper proposes a model of social
entrepreneurship at the intersection of three sectors: state, market and civil society, in its efforts to
meet the more and more sophisticated requests of the contemporary society. Thus, the whole

It is reported that individuals have less willingness to start their own business. Lack of entrepreneurial intentions impact adversely for the economic development of the country as entrepreneurship is a major source of employment generation and economic development. Thus, scholars emphasize on investigating the factors stimulating the interest of undergraduates to become an entrepreneur. Among the factors, social capital of individuals plays a vital role. On the above backdrop, present study was undertaken to understand the impact of social capital affecting the entrepreneurial intentions of the undergraduates involved in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship courses in Sri Lankan Universities. Findings of the study suggests that the number of social ties, trustworthy relationships and the social norms shared among the undergraduates within their community affect their willingness to start a new business. Thus, the study provides significant insights for the university administrators highlighting importance of facilitating a platform for the undergraduates to network with the fellow undergraduates.

Abstract
There has been a tremendous increase of technology - mediated working environment leading to the formation of virtual
teams due to the globalization and it requires a new leadership approach in making them succeed. E-leadership has been
recognized as relevant to lead the virtual team. It is claimed that trust is one of the factors vital to the formation of a
successful virtual team. It is also suggested that building and maintaining trust may be one of the most important factors
leading to virtual team success. However, building trust in a virtual team is a major challenge as team members do not have
face-to-face interaction. Thus, it becomes the sole responsibility of the e-leader in the virtual team to build a trusting relationship between the team members without which the virtual relationship will not succeed. This paper explores the current knowledge about the factors that build trust deemed as critical in virtual team effectiveness and proposed a
framework for building trust in the virtual team. This paper is a reflection for e-leadership in understanding how e-leaders
can build trust in virtual teams that will enhance the performances of virtual teams in the virtual work environment.

Factors Influencing the Development of Social Entrepreneurship in BangladeshDr. Nazrul Islam
Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a contemporary phenomenon of the socioeconomic development of a country. It refers to the creation of solutions of social problems through creating innovative ideas, increasing social value, and consistently pursuing new opportunities for the benefits of the society rather than private wealth creation. The main motives of social entrepreneurship are social welfare and value creation through the display of innovativeness, leadership, and risk management of the business. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting the development of social entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. It illustrates the context-specific nature of the phenomenon and derives implications for fostering the social entrepreneurship as a positive force for social and economic development. Several important factors, which contribute to the success of the social entrepreneurship, are social welfare and value, non-profit motives, knowledge, skills & experiences, innovative ideas, ethics, social network, leadership, local and governmental policies, institutional support, etc.

HOW AESTHETIC LEADERSHIP STYLE MIGHT RELATE TO EMPLOYEE MORALE AT WORKPLACE? ...JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
Leadership plays an important role in shaping employee morale but organizations are facing the challenges of dealing low morale of employees. Studies have shown that poor leadership and heartless management are among numerous reasons for low morale among employees in the organizations and recent trends towards organizational downsizing and restructuring have negatively impacted employee morale leading to low organizational productivity and thus organizational transformation must be accompanied with maintaining moral responsibility. In this regard, the researchers explore the emerging aesthetic leadership style on how it might help to foster positive employee morale and found that aesthetic leadership style builds positive work environment which is crucial for employee morale at the workplace. It also creates positive feelings around the organizations by emphasizing on empathy, emotions, ethics, value-based and moral behavior. This paper analyzes the aesthetic leadership style with the implications for future leadership preparation to harness positive employee morale at the workplace and concludes that by considering aesthetic leadership style can boost positive employee morale necessary for enhancing organizational performances.
Embracing Cultural Competence to Reduce Disparities and Inequities in the Pub...JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
This study focuses on rigorously documented disparities and inequities in the public health care services of India and offered only speculative explanations from their findings. The researchers also explore the background of cultural competence and culturally competent health care frameworks that can take into existing health care programs to reduce disparities and health outcomes for all populations. This paper reveals that there are racial and ethnic disparities in the minority communities of India in the delivery of public health care services. There is a gap on how to remove theses critical problems and no attention have been paid to techniques for reducing them. Several studies demonstrated that cultural competence resulted in increased satisfaction with care, improved abilities to engage in treatment and recovery, reduced readmission rates and reduced mortality in health care. Previous studies also suggested that culturally competent organizations deliver improved quality health outcomes, increased respect and mutual understanding and fewer care disparities among various cultures. Researchers claim that cultural competence is the key strategy for reducing disparities care and inequalities in healthcare access and it is the effective tool to improve the quality and effectiveness of care for diverse cultures. This paper concludes that there is a need for integrating and developing a culturally competent health care in India to reduce disparities and inequity access to quality care in the public health care delivery system.

People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM) Facing the Key HR Challenges of MSME...JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) have a significant role in the growth of Indian economy and contribute to generating employment especially in the rural areas. But, the performances of the MSME in the globalization period have not been satisfactory as the number of sick MSME is increasing year by year.

with the global players. There are many challenges in the MSME of India and HR practices are one of the major
problems. Many industries claimed that the P-CMM is a strategy for transforming an organization in the modern
era by improving workforce practices progressively. Therefore, this paper specifically tries to enlighten the
important of P-CMM and its relevant applications to solve the HR problems faced by the MSME of India.
Organizational aesthetics and its implications for managing human resources a...JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
Abstract
Organizational aesthetics was stimulated due to the growing awareness of human issues by relating to feelings, intuition and thoughts in the organizations as aesthetics approach acknowledges them to be important aspects of organizational life. Today people yearn for wholeness and meaning in everyday life. Therefore, organizations of the 21st century require a new perspective on organizational research as people use more than rationality and intellectual to make decisions. Aesthetics refer to sensory knowledge and felt meaning of objects and experiences. By understanding the organizations through the aesthetics approach, researchers might find solutions to the problems that cannot be comprehensively and objectively stated in the organizations. In this regard, this paper explores the important aesthetics aspects of organizational life and its implications for managing human resources effectively at the workplace. Five hypotheses are being established for further study to add insights in the field of human resource management by tapping into the aesthetics dimension of organizational life.
Cultural Intelligence: Bridging the Cultural Differences in the Emerging MarketsJIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
In the emerging markets, cross border management has become a big challenge among the organizations. Researchers
have suggested that a high IQ and emotional intelligence may not be sufficient to successfully handle the global situations,
interaction and complexity tasks for an organization due to diversity in cultures. As organizations rely on the emerging
markets for revenue growth and expansion, they need to familiarize with different cultures and need to communicate
well with other cultures. If these cultural differences are not well managed, misunderstanding and conflict may rise in
the business across the world and organizations could be at risk if management fails to deal with the cultural difference.
Fortunately, researchers have recognized that cultural intelligence is a critical factor to overcome the challenges of cultural
differences. The realities of contemporary organizations demonstrated that cultural intelligence has vital implications for
individuals and organizations in the globalization as cultural diversities require organizations to interact with people from
a variety of backgrounds. When the cultural diversity is handled properly by incorporating cultural intelligence in the
organizations, it will be a competitive advantage for the organizations. Organizations operating in the cross border business now need to incorporate cultural intelligence to overcome the challenges of cultural differences in the emerging markets.
INVESTIGATING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENTREPRENEURIAL S...JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI

“PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT:WHY SHOULD EMPLOYERS CARE ABOUT IT IN THE 21st CENTURY?”JIANGUANGLUNG DANGMEI
Abstract
Globalization and rapid technological development have led many organizations to change the management style following
mergers and acquisition, reshuffling and downsizing of the organizations. It has been suggested that these organizational
changes alter the nature of the psychological contract often leading to violation of psychological contract which are
associated with negative impacts on organizations and restricting to organizational growth. There is a crucial need for a
proper understanding of the psychological contract and intense exploration in the organizations following the rapid changes
in the business environment as the contents of the psychological contracts also changes over time from organization to
organization. This paper attempts to cast light on the need for constant renegotiation of the psychological contract in the 21st
century so that organizations should review the content of the psychological contract in organizations so as to harness its
benefits in the contemporary business.
Key Words: Psychological Contract, Organizational Changes, Violation of Psychological Contract, Organizational

1. Introduction
Social Entrepreneurship has become a subject of attention in
academia and politics in the perspective of a welfare state, social
bonds and economic crisis (Nicholls 2006b, Borzaga & Defourny
2004). It has emerged as a current issue in the social ground as it is
seen different from other forms of entrepreneurship due to its
higher priority being given in developing social value then
capturing economic value. It is now considered as one of the most
appealing terms on the problem-solving of the society today
(Light, 2009). Dees (2001:1) considered social entrepreneurship is
well suited for this age to spearhead the resolving of social issues as
some institutions and charitable efforts have failed to meet the
basic social needs. He also claimed that social entrepreneurship
will overcome the ineffectiveness and inef ciency of the major
institutions. Furthermore, it has been endorsed that social
entrepreneurship provides a model of success particularly in the
unstable environment to deal with the challenges of economic,
social and environmental issues (Leadbeater, 1997; Schwab
Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, 2012). In addition, it has
been identi ed as vital for the development and innovative
approach to social problems (Shaw and Carter, 2004). Therefore,
social entrepreneurship extends a new approach to deal with the
nancial and social needs in India.
2. Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship is the application of entrepreneurship in
the social spheres that lled an important gap between business
and benevolence (Roberts, D., & Woods, C., 2005). It is an
innovative and social value-creating activity that takes place within
or across non-pro t, business or government sectors (Austin, J.,
Stephenson, H., & Wei-Skillern, J., 2006). It creates innovative
solutions to immediate social problems through ideas, capacities,
resources, and social provisions necessary for sustainable social
transformations (Alvord, S. H., Brown, L. D., & Letts, C. W., 2004).
It is designed to explicitly to enhance societal well-being through
entrepreneurial organizations which initiate, lead and contribute
to changes in the society (Nichols, A., 2007). Social
entrepreneurship is considered as a tool to alleviate social
problems and bring social transformation (Alvord et al., 2004). It is
about empowering people who are socially disadvantaged to
develop their nancial as well as social status and these social
entrepreneurs are individuals who seize the initiative to deal with
the problems of those who are socially disadvantaged (Linklaters,
S. F., 2006). Thus, it is a process that pursues opportunities to bring
social change and addresses social needs driven by social goals to
bene t the societies.
3. Implications of Social Entrepreneurship for Rural
Sustainable Development
Social entrepreneurship usually goes beyond the set institutional
rules and structures to create a social value and social development
for communities that might never have been attained by other
institutions (Di Domenico et al., 2010:698). The unique aspect of
social entrepreneurship is that it empowers the marginalized
population and better deal with social problems then other
organizations ensuring that an individual permanently takes
responsibilities over their lives and fate (Hervieux et al., 2010:57).
Social entrepreneurship attempt to meet the needs of the
community by utilizing resources that are usually considered to be
useless to achieve their objectives and deals with the social ills (Di
Domenico et al., 2010:699). They are more aware of the problems
faced by the community by taking part in community development
and also have made signi cant contributions in community
development (Di Domenico et al., 2010:695; Farmer & Kilpatrick
2009:1651). There are successful cases of social entrepreneurs like
Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, the Aravind Eye Hospital in India
and Sekem in Egypt. These social enterprises creatively combine
resources they do not possess to address social problems and
brought transformation in the social structures. These examples
show how social entrepreneurship addresses various social
problems. They motivate change in communities affecting many
people through innovative ideas addressing social issues. It gives
the perfect connection between opportunities for social change
and the drive for social transformation by the social entrepreneurs.
In East and Central Europe, social entrepreneurship delivered
innovative solutions particularly for poverty and unemployment
and has made the most stimulating eld of public service (Schwab
Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, 2008). Therefore, it has
been claimed that social entrepreneurship is a vital approach to
engage the marginalized groups in the labor market and
consequently decreases social exclusion (Harding 2006; Bridge et
al. 2009). Furthermore, in many cases it appears that social
entrepreneurship for a contemporary overview provide innovative
social solutions that are more sustainable and effective than other
institutions (Kickul and Lyons, 2012 & Volkmann et al., 2012)
which is highly relevant for sustainable rural development in India.

4. Social Entrepreneurship and Social Networks
According to Aldrich and Zimmer (1986:8), entrepreneurship is
facilitated by links between aspiring entrepreneurs, resources and
opportunities. They suggested that networks allow them to access
all resources which are crucial to the establishment of a small rm.
Social entrepreneurship can be strongly bene ted through the
appropriate use of social-network and networking. In recent years,
networks have received particular attention due to its single most
important organizational concept of the modern era (Parkhe et al.,
2006). The growth of social networking websites like Myspace,
Twitter, e-mails, Facebook, Skype, Youtube and Wikipedia have all
raised the pro le of networking. Thereby, networks can be used to
source advice, business information and help with the problem
solving of the society. It will enable the successful entrepreneurs to
tie with the people who are in positions to provide timely and
accurate information (Aldrich & Zimmer, 1986:20). Evidence from
the study conducted by Krebs and Holley (2006) found that
increase in the connectedness and reach-ability of small businesses
was attributable to the active intervention of the business support
agency. They recommended that the networks of individual social
enterprises will identify structural holes and enable social
enterprise network organizations to design and implement
effective strategies to link other unconnected social enterprises
and increase the delivery of business support to other social
enterprises. Therefore, the social networks will determine the
success of the activities of social entrepreneurship (Sharir and
Lerner, 2006). Urbano et al. (2010) demonstrated that social
enterprises depend on institutions for the ef cient delivery of
knowledge at the initial stage but later stage through social
networks social enterprises start to surpass the institutional
environment in acquiring the knowledge (Harrison et al., 2012). It
signi ed that networks and systems played a signi cant role in the
effective production and diffusion of knowledge for the social
enterprises. Since social enterprises do not function in isolation,
the importance of networking and interactions are recognized and
explored relating to the system of innovation which views that
innovation process as an interactive and systemic process
(Lundvall, 1988; Nelson, 1993; De Liso and Metcalfe, 1996). As
Moore and Westley (2011) suggested that despite the importance
of social networks in supporting social innovation, appropriate
social networks for the social entrepreneurs do not seem to
currently exist. Mulgan et al., (2007) also identi ed that the lack of
networks acts as a signi cant barrier to social entrepreneurship
and a cause for the constraints of many social innovations. They
also have suggested that policy-makers must concentrate on the
improvement of suitable networks if the activities of social
innovation are to create sustained, suitable and appropriate
outcomes for organizations and society. Social networks thus are
useful vehicles enabling the social entrepreneurs to achieve access
to important resources such as skills, technical advice and nance
as well. Social entrepreneurs will be able to identify opportunities
appropriate for the society through the social enterprises'
network. It is clear that wider social networks will enable the social
entrepreneurs to ensure more sustainable development in the
society. In this light, the social networks must operate in
dissemination, sharing of knowledge and connecting other
aspiring social entrepreneurs to acquire new capabilities to
determine innovative activities for the society.
5. Suggestions
The following suggestions can be considered to endorse a
successful social entrepreneurship to meet the social needs of rural
areas in India:
a) Strengthening local authority works on social entrepreneurship.
b) Increase social entrepreneurship programs in the educational
institutions.
c) Introducing online networks for social entrepreneurs to improve
the access to other aspiring social entrepreneurs and the
traditional corporate sectors.
d) Providing online guidance tools for harnessing opportunities
and tackling challenges involved in operating a social enterprise.
e) Establishing a National Social Entrepreneurship Research Centre
(NSERC).
f) To link the activities of social entrepreneurship with different
government bodies and ministries including the Ministry of
Finance and Economy through the established networks.
6. Conclusions
A synthesis of this research paper suggests that social
entrepreneurship is the present-day solutions to the unful lled and
unrealized social needs. The role of the social entrepreneurship in
alleviating poverty and resolving social problems has found its
place in many developed countries. As for the social
entrepreneurs, this presents a remarkable opportunity to
transform and bring sustainable development in the rural areas of
India in ways never before. It is a high time to embrace and adopt
social entrepreneurship as the alternative solutions to the social
problems faced by the rural people since creative and resourceful
ways of addressing the unrealized needs of marginalized peoples
are now needed more than ever. Social entrepreneurship now
st
offers a business model for the 21 century that balances social,
cultural, nancial and environmental needs. In addition, there may
be cautions that we must contemplate in promoting social
entrepreneurship so as not to endorse an unfamiliar and unhelpful
form of social changes in India.
