Abstract
Social entrepreneurship research has tended to employ normative Western assumptions. This paper examines how social entrepreneurship emerges in a multicultural context. It draws on an ethnographic study conducted in Mozambique to explore how multiple logics of action are utilised to give meaning to local social entrepreneurial practices. The findings suggest that social entrepreneurship takes diverse forms in the context of a developing economy, including grassroots indigenous practices. This paper contributes to theory development by bridging different social entrepreneurial activities with repertoires of action at the micro-level which illustrate specific cultural logical frameworks. It also provides a reflexive critique of Western dominant conceptualisations and models of social entrepreneurship.
