This dissertation highlights the roles of political economy as the important factor influencing the success of social enterprises. Innovation is an independent scientific act of an individual. In fact innovation and social enterprise are embedded with each other. While innovation as an independent scientific endeavor is not bothered with political economy but the entrepreneurial endeavor to put the innovation in practical use poses several elements of political and economic environment. This dissertation analyses the relations of such elements with social entrepreneurship.

There have been several phases of human growth of human civilization. Political economy is interwoven with social revolution. Development is the process by which society transforms to fit each new progressive stage.
Political forces have the power to accelerate transition, even if it essentially happens on its own. Except for a few countries, most of the globe is in a capitalist stage. At the national level, varying periods have seen the replacement and transformation of socialist and capitalist ideological forces, but these changes are only short term. However, here ‘short term’ refers to a period of time that might span several decades or even centuries. Human civilization ultimately advances toward democracy as its ultimate goal.
Social entrepreneurs are problem solvers for both economic and social issues. Innovations that attempt to address the plethora of human issues lead inventors to pursue careers as social entrepreneurs. Integrating autonomous scientific discoveries into the economic sector presents a number of hurdles that entrepreneurs must overcome. This study sought to address the relationship between innovation and social entrepreneurship, the relationship between individual innovators and entrepreneurship, the kinds of support that society can offer to social entrepreneurs in their efforts to address an endless array of human problems, and the function that political economy plays in the success of social entrepreneurship.
This study examines how political economics shapes innovative behavior of social entrepreneurs and offers a critical analysis of views and interpretations of the relation between political economy and social entrepreneurship. The review of previous research indicate that little is known about the influences of political economy to the innovative actions and roles of social entrepreneurs. For the purpose of the study opinions from some
social entrepreneurs have been gathered and examined as it draws on a theoretical framework to examine practical experience.
This study explores the attainment of the democratic system in the interest of the people and seeks to gain insight into the knowledge of political philosophy, political economics, and theories of entrepreneurship. It is centered on a critical analysis of the functioning of government as a whole from the perspective of common people and the role that social entrepreneurship plays.
