Samenvatting

This research focuses on effective social value measurement. It starts by outlining the competitive environment, which is under economic pressure due to limited resources. Commissioners of public services are driven to include social value into their decision making. The problem for social enterprises such as Enactus The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) (a non-profit organisation) is that social value remains poorly defined with various tools and limited resources at their disposal. There is a problem to justify their value when they are driven by social purposes with ‘less quantifiable’ outcomes. Traditional valuation methods focus on financial indicators; therefore, the research objective was formulated to gain an insight into social value measurement in order to recommend an approach to Enactus THUAS.
