In the majority of the decades, mainly in the crisis of the economic crises, public and private actors, of organized form or not. For this, social entrepreneurship emerges as a creative and innovative way to overcome difficulties. However, this is still considered as a recent and developing phenomenon in the theoretical field. No period was found from 2009 to 2016. In this sense, a theoretical research was carried out, with qualitative bibliographical research. As a result of the research, considering a set of 18 articles analyzed, there is a predominance of empirical studies - case studies - that sought to be identified in practical cases of social entrepreneurship, such as: characteristics of the entrepreneur, use of early social networks From social associations, contribution to local development, creation of social value, elements of management and generation of own resources; Alignment between the articles regarding the understanding of ES as a new phenomenon, but already shows with great potential in the creation of social value and contribution to local development; And lack of consensus regarding the concept of social entrepreneurship, given that some articles consider ES as third-party organizations, others already existing or as a variation of commercial entrepreneurship, focusing on social aspects.
