Introduction
Full text linkThis chapter provides an introduction to the topic of contemporary theory of social entrepreneurship. This chapter argues that social entrepreneurship is not a new discipline in the studies of economics and entrepreneurship. It evolves from the study of the firm. The emergence of social entrepreneurship is parallel with the development of business entrepreneurship with an attention to social concerns
Determining the level of existence of social entrepreneurship using three-layered instruments
No full textThe call to fulfill the social needs has modified the entrepreneurial
culture that combines the former with financial returns. This approach of
doing business is commonly known as social entrepreneurship. Research
objective: The aim of the research is to assess superficially level of
familiarity among Malaysians toward the concept of social
entrepreneurship. The study employed open-ended questionnaire as an
alternative to full, in-depth face-to-face interview with thirteen
Malaysians. The method was adopted when the researchers initially
suspected that the concept of social entrepreneurship might not be
prominent in the society. Another reason was to obtain very fundamental
input speedily. The questionnaire comprised a few general questions and
demographic questions. Our respondents were primarily Malaysian
Malays and Chinese. By restricting the pilot survey to only Malaysian
respondents, we hoped to broadly control variability among different
ethnic groups. Despite using small sample with a few questions, we used three-layers of data verification approaches to ensure that our
conclusions are well supported and justified. Results showed that the
sample largely did not have a strong grasp of the concept of social
entrepreneurship. The finding implies that in Malaysia, the concept of
social entrepreneurship is still at its early stage of introduction and will
require intensive dissemination to make it known to the masses

No full textTwo languages are really different. They are unique in their own ways.
They convey messages but do not necessarily share the same breadth
and depth of meanings. ―Budi pekerti‖ has fewer hits when searched
through Google Search compared to ―Character,‖ a close equivalent
in English but the former conveys richer meaning than its latter
counterpart. This chapter attempts to discuss the meaning of
―budi pekerti‖ and its implications for the workplace. It compares the
meaning of related words of ―budi pekerti‖ and their equivalence in
English because this Chapter is written in English for the benefit of
Malay and English-speaking readers. Common ―budi pekerti‖ of
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. have been depicted in a comparative table
in order to portray reference traits Muslims should emulate for practice
Reinforcement of “Budi” through “Pantun”
No full textPantun (which is different from couplet, quartet in English literature) is
a form of literary expression among the Malays and the Malaysians,
which has migrated from oral to written forms and survives until today.
Its practical value makes people write and recite it duringfestivals and
formal events. It is included in the curriculum of Malay language and
literature in the public schools in Malaysia. This Chapter presents
select pantuns on ―budi‖ and presents its analysis on the ubiquitous
―pisang emas‖ (golden banana) pantun from ―budi‖ perspective. Two
aspects of the unique pantun, i.e., ―hutang‖ and
―budi‖ were scrutinized from an Islamic perspective. The spirit of
―budi‖ permeates pantun and carries with it wisdo

Receiving information from indirect sources is common in daily lives. This may be due to the time constraint, giving priority to one’s current engagement, physical distance, mandatory non-face-to-face communication, and other factors. In fact, most of an individual’s time is spent on processing indirect information whether one deals with his office work or family matters. This chapter shows the extent of congruence that is identified by a co-author based on the description of the other two co-authors who attended the talk on the topic of “Budi,” “Sejahtera,” and “Leadership.” The lead author created and sent an attachment that contains a combination of dichotomous and open-ended questions related to the three-terminology theme to the other co-authors for their independent views. He analyzed their textual opinions and produced his analysis of the converging and diverging themes based on the opinions provided. This case study helps people become aware of the varying amount and depth of information acquired by listeners to a public lecture, moreover via online platform rather than among the audience of a lecture in a hall. In this case, only two listeners are involved, making content analysis easy.
