Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to look on social entrepreneurship and people’s perception on social entrepreneurship in the Sultanate of Oman. This study took the perceptions of 100 Omani people, through semi-structured interviews and survey, in Sultanate of Oman on social entrepreneurship. Majority of the survey/interview respondents think that business entrepreneurs are more challenging than social entrepreneurs but the challenges that are the social entrepreneurs facing are very distinctive and it is not that easy for social entrepreneurs to find out a spectrum where we can create social value with profit. The study results show that Omani people rather prefer more innovative social entrepreneurs than normal social entrepreneurs. People presumed that many social enterprises in Oman are with inherent vision of sustainable growth that is environmentally friendly that are well equipped to balance growth with ecological concerns in the country as carbon emissions can be threat in Oman because of the economy’s high dependency of oil sector. Besides, the respondents call on the Government’s crucial role in the social entrepreurship arena
