Korea's social enterprises have made great progress quantitatively with direct and indirect support from the government or local governments. However, in the future, social enterprises need to develop quantitative development as well as quality development and stability for sustainable management through performance. This study is an empirical study to explore the effect of social entrepreneurship and social network on performance among the characteristics of social enterprises. Studies have shown that social entrepreneurship and social networks have a significant impact on both the economic and social performance of social enterprises. Social entrepreneurship, such as initiative, innovation, risk-trace, commitment to the task, and social networks, such as favorable relationships with governments, local governments, local financial institutions, and human network support, have been identified as important factors that significantly affect the economic and social performance of social enterprises. Therefore, social efforts are more needed to discover and nurture social entrepreneurs who are full of social entrepreneurship. It is also believed that the government, local governments, and even local governments, should expand social networks linked to local institutions or residents, and that a cooperative system should be formed to create a private-to-regional support system and create a growth ecosystem that can be self-sustaining by social enterprises. The limitation of this study is that the sample of research is limited to representing social enterprises across the country or social enterprises in Busan. In the future, it is believed that various aspects of performance, including success factors, will be needed for social enterprises across the country.
