CHAPTER Five: Conclusion

Conclusion

It can be concluded from the results discussed in the previous tables that the researcher gained mixed reviews on the role of Indonesian government on the promotion of social entrepreneurship. Most of the respondents reported that the government is less supportive in terms of funding provided to the social entrepreneurs, whereas, some of the respondents were in the favour that the government has supported the social entrepreneurs in the country. However, most of the respondents found it important for the government to promote the idea of innovation in their business which can eventually contribute towards the growth and development of the country. In addition to the above statement, it is recommended that the government should focus on providing adequate measures for promoting social entrepreneurship in the country.

Implications for Scope and Limitation

There were certain limitations faced during the research process as the researcher found it difficult to access a large number of respondents which is the reason only 100 responses were collected through online surveys. In addition, the scope of the research was limited to the Indonesia which helped the researcher in understanding the role of government of Indonesia in the promotion of social entrepreneurship.

Implication for Research Design

The implications for the quantitative research design were focused towards the convenience and keeping into consideration the budget and time of the researcher. The research results will also be helpful for the future researchers who wish to carry out their research in the field of social entrepreneurship with the specific focus on the Indonesia. Through this research, the researcher was able to understand the main idea behind the social entrepreneurship and how the government of Indonesian plays its role for the promotion of the social business.
