TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature in this subject area and focus on the legal implementation of social enterprises, concluding that the lack of a common understanding of social enterprise should not be regarded as a limitation as such debate encourages a rethinking of the theoretical definition of enterprise and its legal structure.
Abstract: – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the social enterprise concept at an international level. It provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature in this subject area and focuses on the legal implementation of social enterprises., – The paper is an analytic review, building on previous work. Conclusions are on how the social enterprise concept has been legally implemented in a number of representative European countries., – The lack of a common understanding of social enterprise should not be regarded as a limitation as such debate encourages a rethinking of the theoretical definition of enterprise and its legal structure. The legal recognition of social enterprise contributes to conceptual clarification in the countries concerned., – This is a conceptual discussion paper, which stimulates further research on the most interesting mechanisms and consistent models of social enterprise that are developing at an international level., – The paper synthesises existing conceptual studies on social enterprise. It contributes to enrich the current debate on social enterprise and aids in focusing future research.

TL;DR: A long-term, multi-project model of factors affecting organizational benefits from enterprise systems (ES), then a preliminary test of the model found all six factors to be important in explaining variance in organizational benefits in enterprise systems from the perspective of senior management.
Abstract: This paper develops a long-term, multi-project model of factors affecting organizational benefits from enterprise systems (ES), then reports a preliminary test of the model. In the shorter-term half of the model, it is hypothesized that once a system has gone live, two factors, namely functional fit and overcoming organizational inertia, drive organizational benefits flowing from each major ES improvement project. The importance of these factors may vary from project to project. In the long-term half of the model, it is hypothesized that four additional factors, namely integration, process optimization, improved access to information, and on-going major ES business improvement projects, drive organizational benefits from ES over the long term. Preliminary tests of the model were conducted using data from 126 customer presentations from SAP's 2003 and 2005 Sapphire U.S. conferences. All six factors were found to be important in explaining variance in organizational benefits from enterprise systems from the perspective of senior management.

TL;DR: The current generation of ERP systems also provide reference models or process templates that claim to embody the current best business practices as discussed by the authors, however, these reference models may not be the best practices in practice.
Abstract: Enterprise resource planning systems are configurable information systems packages that integrate information and information-based processes within and across functional areas in an organization. The current generation of ERP systems also provides reference models or process templates that claim to embody the current best business practices.

TL;DR: The concept of disaggregating corporate activities into manageable intellectual clusters is discussed in this paper, where the authors argue that the organization of enterprises and effective strategies will depend more on the development and deployment of intellectual resources than on the management of physical assets.
Abstract: Executive Overview The development and use of technology for services—whether in the “service industries” or in manufacturing—may be the key to future wealth and productivity in advanced industrial countries. Quinn believes that the organization of enterprises and effective strategies will depend more on the development and deployment of intellectual resources than on the management of physical assets. In this article he discusses the concept of disaggregating corporate activities into manageable intellectual clusters—called service activities.
