According to Zahra et al (2009) there are three classes of social entrepreneurs:
Social Br-icoleurs, Social Construction and Social Engineers. Each of these types of
social entrepreneurs faces different challenges and attempts to undertake social enterprise
in a different way. However, the study participants seemed to defy this categorization.
Instead they exhibited, in different proportions, the traits that Zahra et al identified. Many
participants also seemed to actively value characteristics from other social
entrepreneurship categories that they themselves did not possess. This made for
organizations that were composed varyingly of different types of people exhibiting
characteristics found across all three categories.
