Abstract

The purpose of this study is to research how social enterprises influence business collaboration through strategic use of social resources. It discusses in detail 'purpose work' and 'purpose borrowing' in relation to their effects on the dynamics of collaboration and how they extend influence beyond models of traditional governance. The research will take the form of a qualitative ethnographic case study into how social resources bridge the gap across organizations, foster deeper engagement, and align diverse goals. Findings from the study suggest that the transformative potential of social purpose as a governance tool does indeed significantly shape collaborative outcomes. The limitations of single-case studies aside, these findings are important for suggesting how collaborative impacts can be enhanced and indicate directions for future research.
