Institutional entrepreneurship: social responsibility and agency of social entrepreneurs in driving institutional change
Institutional entrepreneurship: social responsibility and agency of social entrepreneurs in driving institutional change
Our purpose in this chapter is to demonstrate the value of Bourdieu’s theory of capital in explaining the agency of the individual institutional entrepreneur an emerging-market context, and explain how such agency can be framed from a social responsibility perspective. More specifically, we pose the following question: How do individual institutional entrepreneurs utilize different forms of capital in engaging in institutional entrepreneurship? Illustrative case studies have been used to address this question. The cases include social entrepreneurs in Brazil who fight racial inequalities and discrimination in different fields, including education, communications and work organizations. Transformation between different forms of capital that they utilize has emerged as the key process that facilitates institutional entrepreneurship in emerging-market contexts

Abstract
Our purpose in this chapter is to demonstrate the value of Bourdieu’s theory of capital in explaining the agency of the individual institutional entrepreneur an emerging-market context, and explain how such agency can be framed from a social responsibility perspective. More specifically, we pose the following question: How do individual institutional entrepreneurs utilize different forms of capital in engaging in institutional entrepreneurship? Illustrative case studies have been used to address this question. The cases include social entrepreneurs in Brazil who fight racial inequalities and discrimination in different fields, including education, communications and work organizations. Transformation between different forms of capital that they utilize has emerged as the key process that facilitates institutional entrepreneurship in emerging-market contexts
