Introduction to the Special Issue on Organizational Hybridization: Both for Profit and Not: Biblical Views of Organizational Hybridization

Abstract

Recent scholarly literature and discussion, including past JBIB articles on Business as Mission and recent CBFA presentations on Business as Mission and social entrepreneurship, indicate that the activities of organizations are shifting in ways that blur the dividing line between for-profit and not-for-profit business. This drift takes the form of each side borrowing visions, missions,
goals, structures, resources, or strategies from the opposite end of the spectrum (Strom, 2007).
