Strategic Management and Technology Innovation in Micro Enterprises Post-Pandemic

Abstract

Social innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship represent strategic responses to increasingly complex socio-economic challenges in the context of global development. This literature study aims to explore in depth the dynamics, practices, and impacts of implementing social innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship, focusing primarily on efforts to empower vulnerable groups and reduce persistent social inequality. By analyzing 11 selected international journal articles, this research identifies several patterns of social intervention and business models that are not only adaptive to local contexts but also capable of driving sustainable and equitable development. The findings of this study reinforce the urgency of integrating social values into modern entrepreneurial practices as a holistic approach to addressing complex socio-economic issues. Furthermore, the study provides recommendations for strengthening cross-sector collaborative ecosystems to foster broader and more sustainable social impacts. The research contributes to a growing understanding of how socially driven business practices can act as catalysts for inclusive and transformative development.
