“In ‘Social Entrepreneurship’s All-American Mind Trap,’ published in the Nonprofit Quarterly’s summer 2017 issue, Fredrik Andersson and Ruth McCambridge explore how this type of social-purpose initiative is ‘being imaged and defined as an act primarily of an individual rather than a collective.’ The authors present and support several cogent claims that call into question the extent to which such ‘Lone Ranger’ entrepreneurship is the prevailing type and, most significantly, whether or not it is as suitable as collective entrepreneurship to successfully address the most ‘wicked,’ perplexing problems our society and the world face — including ‘poverty, hunger, racism, and environmental deprivation.’ In this article, I elaborate on three of Andersson’s and McCambridge’s assertions: (1) the necessity for employing what they call “collective entrepreneurship’; (2) the necessity of large, cross-sector collaborations and other collective initiatives that align public policy, financial resource, and comprehensive services components to tackle ‘wicked problems,’ instead of initiatives launched by an individual entrepreneur; and (3) that ‘wicked problems’ are inherently public issues — namely, that they are highly contentious topics affecting a broad population in a given jurisdiction about which there are multiple, deep-seated, conflicting stakeholder interests and perspectives.”
