KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR BETTER SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP - EMPIRICAL PERSPECTIVES AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Summary/Abstract: The interest for social entrepreneurship has increased manifold, especially, among young generations. However, to achieve gradual improvement related with some social problem or its total elimination in a sustainable and profitable manner is far from being easy. Social entrepreneurship needs intensive knowledge sharing, often with counterparts from far countries and other cultures. Knowledge sharing in social entrepreneurship includes learning from others about how they are using resources and how they are collaborating and improving the satisfaction of their final beneficiaries. The aim of this paper is to explore the practice of knowledge management in social enterprises active in Republic of Macedonia. Primary research consist a survey questionnaire and a series of interviews with organizations and businesses considered as social enterprises based on their mission and activities. Based on the results of the survey, we propose several recommendations that if implemented would support their knowledge management practice and improved their missions.
