ABSTRACT

This study based on event system theory explores how social enterprises use critical events to recognize and develop entrepreneurship opportunities by summing up the response law of social enterprises to critical events. The result shows that, the response process of critical events is generally divided into five stages: event occurrence, public concern, social enterprise action, media promotion and government intervention. The occurrence of critical events provides opportunities for social entrepreneurship, and opportunities recognition and development through social enterprise action. Ultimately, the effective solution of social problems caused by critical events is an important result of the recognition and development of social entrepreneurship opportunities.
