Abstract
The current study aims to make known the factors influencing
the decision to conduct business with social impact, given that
the concept of social entrepreneurship is quite a new one in
Romania. The investigative method used was quantitative
research, by applying questionnaires to 300 students at both
bachelor and master level at the Faculty of Economics and
Business Administration, University of Craiova. The results indicate
two categories of factors that influence the intention of social
entrepreneurship in the investigated area, namely: those with
negative influence (lack of necessary funds, fear of failure, lack of
experience and involvement in social projects and activities) and
those with positive influence (knowledge of the concept of social
entrepreneurship and social problems in the studied region that
can be solved through entrepreneurial initiatives).
