Abstract

The project adopts the Humane Entrepreneurship theory, and aims to provide a better theoretical understanding and robust empirical evidence of a phenomenon in which companies both profit-oriented and “purpose-driven” are increasing and clearly and explicitly aspire to play a game-changing role in the current capitalist system.

Drawing on an emerging theoretical framework, that considers Entrepreneurial Orientation, also Sustainable Orientation, and Human Resource Orientation of firms, this research project will: (i) provide the criteria to define and to empirically identify purpose-driven companies; (ii) develop and test a measurement scale of firms’ Humane Entrepreneurial Orientation; (iii) collect evidence about the microfoundations of such orientation from managers, entrepreneurs, and individual workers in Italy; (iv) analyze the dynamics through which companies’ social culture is created, consolidated, transmitted and eventually documented from a legal/administrative point of view; (v) analyze whether their nature impacts their internationalization strategies.
