abstract: 'Purpose
Thailand is a developing economy underpinned by high levels of wealth
inequality and an ingrained patronage culture. This research aims to
examine how social enterprises (SEs) have been encouraged in Thailand in
recent years as ``micro-level challenges{''''} to capitalism and their
potential impact in addressing inequality.
Design/methodology/approach
Through analysing policy documents and consultations, this paper traces
the development of Thai policies intended to encourage SEs'' development.
Additionally, the paper uses case study interviews and documents to
demonstrate how SEs tackle inequality. From these, a framework is
developed, outlining SEs'' roles and interventions to reduce inequality.
Findings
Thailand''s new policy is in contrast to those countries where SEs face
policy neglect. Nevertheless, government has been slow to embed
processes to encourage new SEs. Despite SEs'' ``challenge{''''} to
capitalism, listed companies are increasingly providing in-kind and
financial support. The case study data shows SEs reduce inequality as
they work with rural citizens to increase their employment and incomes.
This work may also contribute to diminishing rural citizens'' dependency
on political patronage.
Research limitations/implications
While SEs can address inequality gaps, the research includes only
existing SEs on specific lists. Nevertheless, the Thai experience will
be useful to other developing countries, especially those beset by
political patronage.
Originality/value
The research shows legislation is insufficient to support SE growth and
inequality reduction. The framework highlights the need for both
government policy attention and interventions from donors and companies
to support SEs'' efforts.'
