Abstract
Based on the assumption that capitalism needs to change direction, this research is aimed at analyzing one way to create shared value: social entrepreneurship. In particular, two forms have been analyzed: the Benefit Corporation and the B Corp. In this research, the purpose is to discover the main determinants for social entrepreneurial activities in Italian regions, studying the possible relationship between the concentration of social enterprises and their determinants of action. In order to do that we adopted a configuration approach, considering how economic and social factors impact social entrepreneurship in Italian regions. The implications and findings of this research can give a contribution to policymakers, institutions and politicians that are willing to foster social entrepreneurial activities in the Italian context.
