Social entrepreneurship is a recent strategy for addressing public policy concerns that have traditionally been viewed as falling within the State's ambit. This article exposes the inadequacy of agency theory for interpreting how parties coexist within a multi-stakeholder service delivery configuration under the rubric of social entrepreneurship. Using the case of Teach for America, the article explores the criticisms that traditionally trained teachers direct towards the organization's members but does not take a side on whether these criticisms are justified. Rather, it prosecutes the case that, absent a frame of reference (e.g., appropriately adapted agency theory) for exposing the interests of disparate stakeholders to a social entrepreneurship venture, misaligned interests manifest as ill-founded mutual critique, often as argumentum ad hominem denunciations.

代理理论与社会企业家精神：需要磨利的斧头

社会创业是解决传统上被视为属于国家职权范围的公共政策问题的最新战略。本文揭露了代理理论在解释社会企业家精神标题下的多利益相关者服务提供配置中各方如何共存方面的不足。本文以“为美国而教”为例，探讨了传统培训教师针对该组织成员的批评，但在这些批评是否合理的问题上没有偏袒任何一方。相反，它提出了这样的情况：如果缺乏一个参考框架（例如，适当调整的代理理论）来将不同利益相关者的利益暴露给社会创业企业，利益不一致就会表现为毫无根据的相互批评，通常表现为人身攻击的谴责。
