What Do We Know about Social Entrepreneurship: An Analysis of Empirical Research (2010, background): “Because of the complex nature of these markets, only entrepreneurs with relevant experience and a deep and longstanding interest in a particular field are likely to recognize opportunities where others only see problems (Robinson, 2006).”
