This broad involvement of actors and intertwining of sectors makes the label 'societal' entrepreneurship appropriate.

Generic themes include positioning societal entrepreneurship against other images of collective entrepreneurship, critically penetrating its assumptions and practices and proposing ways of promoting societal entrepreneurship more widely.
