Tiivistelmä
The dissertation is aimed at investigating the complex and understudied relationships
between the home country institutional environment, social entrepreneurship activities,
and the likelihood of entrepreneurial internationalization. By employing both quantitative
and qualitative methods, the dissertation has reported the following conclusions for the
first time in the literature. Social value orientation of ventures has been found to have a
positive effect on the likelihood of internationalization for ventures. Social value
orientation of ventures has been found to have a negative moderating role on the home
country institutions–likelihood of internationalization relationship. The conduct of certain
types of social interventions has been found to improve or reduce the likelihood of
internationalization for the organizations in which social entrepreneurship activities take
place. The findings of the dissertation can provide implications to both international
entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship research and public policy.
