Alternative organizational models have spread over the world in recent years. Some of these organizational models carry new labels, such as social entrepreneurship (Dacin, Dacin and Tracey, 2010), inclusive innovation (George, McGahan and Prabhu, 2012), inclusive business (Halme, Lindeman, and Linna 2012), pirate organizations (Durand & Vergne, 2012), social business (Yunus, Moingean and Lehmann, 2010) and hybrid organizations (Battilana and Dorado, 2010). Others, such as cooperatives (Charterina J., Albizu, and Landeta, 2007), carry a strong heritage of more than a century of experience. In common, they seek to balance social mission with economic performance and strive to find new ways of organizing and influencing social and economic development.
