Abstract
We focused on social entrepreneurs and social innovation in which many people are interested internationally and recently in Japan, too. The purpose of this study is to survey the international trend of arguments and extract Japanese unique issues. In the Japanese case study, we found that the supporting systems for social entrepreneurs are different by their motivation and opportunity.
