Heike Schirmer investigates the dynamics of partnerships between social ventures and corporations. Based on four case studies from Germany, the author shows two opposing formation processes. Means-driven partnerships, dominated by elements of effectuation, start with generalized aspirations and evolve over time. Goal-driven partnerships, dominated by elements of causation, start with pre-determined goals and follow a strategic, systematic implementation. The data also reveals that formation processes and governance mechanisms might be interlinked.   Contents Social Entrepreneurship, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Socially-Oriented Partnerships Partnership Formation Processes: Means-Driven and Goal-Driven Partnerships Governance Mechanisms in Inter-Organizational Relations and Their Link to Partnership Formation Processes   Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of the social and management sciences with a focus on inter-organizational partnerships and social entrepreneurship Social entrepreneurs    The Author Heike Schirmer obtained her PhD from the Freie Universität Berlin focusing on cross-sector partnerships.
