Abstract
This book chapter presents the research results of a qualitative study performed through conducting interviews with entrepreneurs concerning their definition of their activities as social entrepreneurship or cultural entrepreneurship. The study permits the development of a theory concerning the intersection of the work of social and cultural entrepreneurs. According to the theory, we can define a new mix of socio-cultural entrepreneurs. Important questions to be discussed in the article include the importance of and entrepreneur’s identity and the dependence of these entrepreneurs on their work influencing other fields in the industry. The role of education and support systems required for these new entrepreneurs will be discovered and discussed.
