AT WHAT SCALE DO YOU WANT TO CREATE CHANGE?

This is a great academic article! It identifies three types of social entrepreneurs: 1) Social Bricoleur, 2) Social Constructionist, and 3) Social Engineer. Social Bricoleurs usually focus on discovering and addressing small-scale local social needs. Social Constructionists typically exploit opportunities and market failures by filling gaps to underserved clients in order to introduce reforms and innovations to the broader social system. Finally, Social Engineers recognize systemic problems within existing social structures and address them by introducing revolutionary change.
