Abstract
In the twenty-first century, the idea of social enterprises influencing global socio-economic growth has gained much attention and has momentous implications for the modern economy. Both emerging and developed countries frequently observe its considerable impact on their economy as social enterprise transformation has such a wide-ranging effect on socioeconomic growth. The purpose of this study is to present evidence of the impacts of global social enterprise transformation on global socio-economic development. However, there are no official statistics available on the effects of the transformation of global social companies on global socio-economic development. The debate in this research demonstrates how social enterprise transform like a collaboration between the private, public, and civil sectors, continually honing their approach to their goals, based on the review of several case studies of social enterprises from around the world. Revamp, acquisitions, and improved performance are all efforts to achieve sustainable societal progress in the fields of economics, culture, and politics. The results indicate that social enterprises transformation causes the socio-economic development of the world. Our results also suggest that social enterprise transformation impact and outcome are more significant in developed countries than in developing countries.
