Abstract

“Profit without profit” – there are innumerable examples of entrepreneurial initiatives under the headings of social entrepreneurship and social business that provide a market-economy perspective, in the best sense, to support charitable and governmental efforts to solve social problems. Social department stores as social business – following an entrepreneurial approach – are working like an enterprise in the market, with mainly social objectives, resp. the inclusion of the poor or disadvantaged people into the (labour) market and society.
