Abstract
In this essay we suggest directions and perspectives for social entrepreneurship research that could result in a state in which social entrepreneurship would have become mainstream. This includes the need to delineate and define social entrepreneurship vis-à-vis commercial entrepreneurship, the question of growth and scaling up of social ventures, the role of social entrepreneurship on a macroeconomic level, and the use of critical theory as a theoretical lens. Our recommendations are inspired by a Professional Development Workshop on 'Social Entrepreneurship: Future Directions in Education and Research' organized by the authors at the Academy of Management Conference 2010 in Montréal
