Article 1-(Opportunity formation in Social Entrepreneurship)
The article by Korsgaard explores the concept of opportunity and the role of opportunity in social entrepreneur processes (Korsgaard, 2011). The author provides an extensive case study that relates to a sustainable community in Denmark. Hence, the research methodology used in this article is a case study research method.It is true that the research methodology has not been effectively elaborated or assessed in terms of validity, reliability, and the authenticity of the research that was addressed.
Reliability and Validity
The data that have been collected for the purpose of the research includes Interviews documents and television programs. Therefore, the aspect of valid and reliable data is a question of the issue in the discussed article. The article presents a model of social entrepreneurship processes and the effectiveness of the relation between opportunities in the field of social entrepreneurship. The findings in the article suggest that an efficient social entrepreneur will always create external circumstances instead of responding to the opportunity. The author has extensively discussed the aspect of social entrepreneurship in the theoretical framework of the article.
Using the case study as the research method was flexible but it is often considered to be challenging in the field of Social Science. Even though it is an undeniable fact that case studies are an intensive study that requires an in-depth study of the multiple variables associated with the research objective. However, it is evident that case studies theory proves their validity and reliability (Queirós, Faria & Almeida, 2017). The status of the case study as a scientific method of research is questioned by many critics. Researchers claim that the findings and the recommendations that are provided by your study using the case study research methodology can be neither confirmed nor denied in terms of utility and veracity (Mohajan, 2018). Several researchers and data scientists' claims that case study fails to provide a concept on a general context. It just provides the story. It may also happen that a viable theoretical knowledge is not considered while framing a case study that only represents the practical aspects of the study.
Authenticity
The article case study discussed by the author can be refe
ed to as a unique incident or a story. For instance, in the case study proceeds, it was mentioned that sin collaborates with LOS and works to create "Frizoner". The author has not pointed out what could effectively be the consequences if circumstances would arise which might not allow the collaboration between Steen and LOS. Therefore, it is well observed in the article that a case study is useful for generating a hypothesis. For this article, the hypothesis was the role of opportunity in the perspective of Social entrepreneurship. However, it is not effective for testing the hypothesis and for the purpose of theory building. Moreover, researchers vehemently argue that a case study contains a bias towards verification of the effective theoretical models with that of the empirical incidents.
Credibility
Another aspect that has to be mentioned in the context of the search method used in this article is that a case study research method is used when the number of cases is small (Rahman, 2020). For instance, the author has used only a...
