Sosyal girişimciler, toplumsal sorunların çözümü konusunda inovasyoner ve öncü durumundadırlar. Özellikle son dönemlerde, sosyal girişimciler toplumsal sorunlara çözüm olma noktasında devlet ve özel sektör dışında yeni bir sektör yaratmış bulunmaktadır. Bu realitenin doğal sonucu olarak sosyal girişimcilik konusunda dünyada akademik çevrelerce pek çok çalışma yapılmaktadır. Ancak yapılan literatür taraması neticesinde Türk literatüründe konuyla ilgili yeterli çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Sosyal girişimciler sağlık, çevre, insan hakları gibi konularda bir problemden yola çıkarak sosyal etki, sürdürülebilirlik ve inovasyon temelinde projeler gerçekleştirerek sosyal dönüşüm sağlamaktadırlar. Sosyal girişimciler yerel dönüşümün lideri durumundadırlar ancak küreselleşme olgusunun her alanda kendini hissettirdiği günümüz dünyasında sosyal girişimcilik bağlamında da dünyaya eklemlenmek kaçınılmaz görünmektedir. Küresel düzeyde faaliyet gösteren ilk sosyal girişimcilik örneği Ashoka’dır. Ashoka pek çok konuda sosyal girişimcileri destekleyerek toplumsal dönüşüm sağlamaya çalışmaktadır. Türkiye de Ashoka’nın desteklediği sosyal girişimcileri olan ülkelerden birisidir. Çalışmanın amacını Ashoka üyesi sosyal girişimcilerin faaliyet alanlarını çalışma bölgeleri ve Türkiye ölçeğinde karşılaştırmak oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın diğer amacı, sosyal girişimcilik konusundaki Türkçe literatür boşluğunu doldurmaya katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışma dört bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölümde sosyal girişimcilik ve sosyal girişimci kavramları ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde Ashoka ve faaliyetleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde Ashoka üyelerinin faaliyet alanları araştırılmış ve son bölümde Ashoka üyelerinin dünya ve Türkiye’deki faaliyet alanları karşılaştırılmıştır
