title = {Social Business Models – A typology based on levels of integration},
year = {2017},
note = {We develop a framework for determining the level of integration of
social business models and a subsequent typology. We distinguish
between integrated, moderately integrated and differentiated social
business models and theorize on the likelihood of organizational
tensions in each model. Drawing on a series of examples from different
countries and sectors, our analysis shows that social business models
differ in two parameters, the degree of integration of the
beneficiaries as well as the allocation of resources to create
economic and social value. We suggest that the likelihood for
organizational tensions is low in both integrated as well as
differentiated social business models, while it is higher in social
business models with a moderate level of integration. Our conceptual
framework and the related propositions pave the way for an empirical
inquiry of this theoretically appealing and practically relevant
phenomenon.},
