Abstract

Nowadays, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP in the form of different organizational structures (profit, non-profit, or combination, charities, cooperatives, joint-stock companies, businesses, unions creates social value.According to the expanding role of cooperatives and increasing the number of WOMEN as their member, the question arises whether rural WOMEN's cooperatives in Iran, considering they are a combination of both private and public sectors, can be a platform for SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP? To answer this question, we have analyzed eight interviews rural WOMEN as members of a rural WOMEN's cooperative as well as the text of law about cooperative companies. Moreover, we have applied grounded theory as our method and the MAX QDA as a software for analyzing qualitative data. As the results show, 438 semantic terms were extracted and categorized into 5 categories of clusters, 16 main themes, and 42 sub themes. During the establishment of a cooperative in 2011, there have been applied two kinds of capital-financial facilities, human capital and knowledge. The nature of the created business in the cooperative has addressed rural WOMEN as the community and their problems as social problems.Analyzing the social problems shows: this cooperative has firstly intended to create job for the entrepreneur and, secondly to solve the local economic problems of WOMEN especially as the head of the household. The Entrepreneurship Environment in the rural WOMEN's cooperatives (Mehr Afarin Eram) consists of the four main factors: entrepreneurs, rural WOMEN as local community, special contexts like social, cultural, economic and legal contexts, as well as obstacles against cooperatives. Strategies of this cooperatives are formed from current strategies like training part, human resource management, financial, production and sales as well as developmental strategies in the future. Additionally, the achievements and outcomes of this cooperatives shows Mehr Afarin Eram can to empower WOMEN, create objective and subjective values and achieves financial success.
