Inspired by the ongoing social and economic developments, new forms of business in the field of social entrepreneurship and activities associated with "social innovation" are gaining traction within the discipline of social work.
Social entrepreneurship is social needs-oriented, using innovative approaches to develop long-term solutions for current issues faced by individuals, society, and the environment. Social innovations address social challenges with the tools of social work including facilitating participation and involvement in society. Creative approaches engender novel forms of social programmes, services and products.
