3.2.5.2 Practical implications

This study contributes, in a substantial and a practical manner, to a better understanding of the new Koinsep as a tailor-made legal form for social enterprises in Greece: it sheds light on the Koinsep’s function and its governance structure. It also criticises unsuccessful Greek public policies and legislation affecting the function and the activities of Koinsep social enterprises by pointing at what needs to be considered in future revisions of applicable legislation. Finally, the implications of empirical findings in the discussion with respect to employees and stakeholders participating in the decision-making processes of the Koinsep will allow Greek social entrepreneurs to consider existing theories and improve the organisational functioning of their social enterprises on the basis of evidence from similar case examples.
