Social entrepreneurship is a model that has a significant impact on the social transformation process. It has emerged as an effective and complementary method of achieving social change which has been poorly interpreted by governments and businesses. Today, many social enterprises are established to develop innovative solutions for catering to essential human needs. In this paper, emerging processes, advancements and organizational concepts of some social enterprises are reviewed in detail. This review puts forward that each of social initiatives has diverse dimen- sions, features, barriers and issues. Therefore, this article offers a comparative analysis identifying strengths and weaknesses of the social entrepreneurship model at the organizational level.

Przedsiębiorczość społeczna jest modelem, który ma znaczący wpływ na proces transforma- cji społecznej. Okazała się ona skuteczną i dopełniającą metodą doprowadzenia do zmian społecznych, która była mało zrozumiała dla rządów i przedsiębiorstw. Obecnie wiele przed- siębiorstw społecznych ma na celu opracowanie innowacyjnych rozwiązań zaspokajających podstawowe potrzeby człowieka. W artykule przeprowadzono szczegółową analizę pojawiają- cych się procesów, osiągnięć i koncepcji organizacyjnych kilku przedsiębiorstw społecznych. Założono, że każda inicjatywa społeczna ma różnorakie wymiary, cechy, bariery i problemy. Dlatego też zaprezentowano analizę porównawczą wskazującą mocne i słabe strony modelu przedsiębiorczości społecznej na poziomie organizacyjnym.
