我國北區社會企業特性分析研究

Analysis of Social Enterprise Features Around the North of Taiwan

「社會企業」是國際近年受矚目的新興領域，特色在於：1.以解決社會問題為目的，讓「世界更美好」的使命遠在盈餘及股東利益之上；2.社會企業以創新為基礎，尋找嶄新的經營模式，「自給自足」是社會企業與傳統公益組織有別的基準。本研究藉由蒐集我國北區社會企業名單並進行社會企業組織型態、關注議題、組織規模、創新價值與SWOT分析，發現北區社會企業主要關注議題為弱勢就業，佔30%，次之為農業發展；在組織型態上，以公司型社會企業為主，佔72%，次之為混合型社會企業；組織規模部分，以100~500萬之間最多，佔43.8%，以10~100萬次之，各社會企業皆努力達成自給自足之目標；在創新價值上，各社會企業所關注之領域不同，達成之創新價值各具特色，以眾社企為例，創立新職種，讓身障朋友從資源的接收者轉化為資源的提供者；在SWOT分析上，發現社會企業專注於本業，必要時會與合作夥伴一同努力，社會企業不僅要達成創立之初衷，還必須能夠自給自足、永續經營。最後，本研究探討社會企業之創新、跨界、共享、永續的新思維，以供未來欲創立社會企業之青年、現行社會企業業者與政府相關部門參考。
