Title: DEFINING AND CONCEPTUALIZING SOCIAL WORK ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
Authors: Bent-Goodley, Tricia B.
Source: Journal of Social Work Education. Spring/Summer2002, Vol. 38 Issue 2, p291-302. 12p.
Subjects: Social work education, Sensory perception, Entrepreneurship, Community development, Economic development, Business
Abstract: This article presents results of a study investigating social work students' and professionals' perceptions of social work entrepreneurship. A purposive sample of 52 social work professionals and 82 social work students was selected to participate in a survey that used a two-item closed-ended and five item open-ended questionnaire. Despite the study limitation imposed by self-selection of the sample, findings help to define and conceptualize social work entrepreneurships. Social workers are often taught that they should forgo dreams of financial rewards to meet the needs of clients. A number of successful Community Development Corporations that focus on the social and economic development is of their participants. Entrepreneurial thinking is defined by the author as the visualization of innovative opportunities and social work entrepreneurs are therefore creators of options not just employees. Forecasting is defined as the ability to predict several alternative futures, decide, which is most probable or desirable and then plan for that selected future by factoring in other forces such as organizational sanction or political climate.
