Abstract

In this essay the Economy of Communion model of business practice is explained by situating it in context with other traditional theories of the firm, the purpose of business, and other socially-concerned entrepreneurship models. Harvey argues that the Economy of Communion model of doing business represents a “Person-Centered Theory of the Firm” drawing on 2 empirical studies of EoC enterprises. She explains the unique features of the EoC model of doing business by first, comparing it to the stakeholder and stockholder approaches, and then by comparing and contrasting it with forms of social entrepreneurship and other models such as B Corps.|Keywords: Economy of Communion, social entrepreneurship, theory the firm, stakeholder, stockholder, person-centered
