Abstract  
The article presents an analysis of the socio-economic development of the North Caucasus Federal District, which is referred to as  
a problematic region by some parameters. The authors show that innovative transformations in the Russian economy shift the  
management center of regional development to the territorial level, which regards the socio-cultural features of the ethnic economy of  
each region. The current situation in the North-Caucasus regionis characterized by a high level of social tension, acute socio-economic  
problems, the settlement hereof is possible on owing to the potential of social entrepreneurship. The situation in the North-Caucasus  
region is presented in a broad socio-cultural context, which made it possible to identify some barriers (administrative and managerial,  
economic, social, ethnocultural) preventing the development of socially-oriented business practices.  
Keywords: Social entrepreneurship, The North Caucasus, Socio-economic issues, Management of regional development, Resource  
management, Barriers to the social business establishment  
ethnopolitical situation in the region, according to experts, the  
determining role was played by internal factors, the main of  
which were regional economic problems (5).

Introduction  
The levels of regional development in modern Russia are  
much different due to various reasons of political, economic,  
social, natural-geographical, and other nature.  
The economic issues of the region generate a wide range  
of social ones: high unemployment, the outflow of the most  
talented youth out of the NCFD, curtailment of budget  
expenditures on health care, education, culture, sports, social  
welfare, which leads to crimes and increases the risk of social  
tension. The conditions for the spread of extremist forms of  
behavior and the escalation of inter-ethnic violence, etc.,  
remain in the region (9). One of the essential resources for  
effective management of socio-economic issues that reduces  
the level of ethnopolitical tension in the region and prevents  
youth extremism is social entrepreneurship.  
The North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) was  
established in 2010. The same year, the Strategy of Socio-  
Economic Development of the Region until 2025 was adopted,  
which determines the main paths, methods and means of  
achieving the strategic goals of sustainable development, as  
well as ensuring the national security in the territories of the  
Kabardino-Balkarian Republic Karachay-Cherkess Republic,  
Republic of Dagestan, Republic of Ingushetia, Republic of  
North Ossetia-Alania, Chechen Republic, and Stavropol  
Territory (42).  
Social entrepreneurship that existed according to the  
director of the Center for the Development of Social  
Entrepreneurship at Duke University (USA) J.G. Dees (2001)  
throughout human history, became the subject-matter of  
scientific reflection and conceptualization in the 1980s and  
According to the data given in the Strategy of Socio-  
Economic Development of the NCFD, as at the start of the  
second decade of the 21st century, the region is characterized  
by low industrialization; and lags far behind other federal  
districts by the main socio-economic indicators and level of  
economic development. In the development of the  
1990s of the 20th century (4).

In current conditions, researchers and entrepreneurs are  
genuinely interested in the very concept of the establishment  
and development of social entrepreneurship. The study of  
broad socio-cultural terms, the mechanisms of its influence on  
the establishment and development of entrepreneurship as a  
resource to manage social and economic issues in the region  
become particularly important in modern interdisciplinary  
research of social entrepreneurship in the North-Caucasus  
region (12, 31, 39).  
Research (11) shows that entrepreneurial behavior is  
formed under the influence of economic factors (demand,  
supply, affordability, and price of resources) and non-  
economic ones (social, societal, institutional).  
By the criteria mentioned above, the entities of the NCFD  
(except the Stavropol Territory) are related to problematic  
regions (8). Their economy is featured by high  
underdevelopment in most socio-economic performances  
against other regions and national ones in general (34). The  
results of interdisciplinary research in the area of regional  
economy (30, 32, 37, 38), social studies, social psychology, the  
employment of general scientific methods of systemic,  
structural-functional, institutional, factorial and comparative  
analysis, generalization and systematization of academic  
literature, legislative acts allow concluding that the following  
quantitative and qualitative properties of problematic regions  
are, to the full extent, are typical for the North-Caucasus  
republics: low production rate, budget dependence on the  
federal center, low living standard, high level of migration.  
This situation is aggravated by an escalation of national issues,  
high crime rate, corruption of officials and lack of power-  
population engagement.

Materials and Methods  
A great variety of social initiatives, complicated and  
heterogeneous, synthetic nature of social entrepreneurship as a  
phenomenon emerged at the intersection of different areas of  
social and economic life determines the interdisciplinarity of  
the problematic field and the conceptual framework of social  
entrepreneurship, the evidence hereof is the appearance of  
terms such as social investor, social angel, philanthropreneur,  
engaged philanthropist, corporate citizenship, institutional  
entrepreneurship, etc. (3, 10, 13, 14, 25).  
3 Results  
Analyzing the first results of the implementation of the  
Strategy for the Socio-Economic Development in the NCFD,  
researchers (2) note that, firstly, strategies and other programs  
were developed in a completely different economic and  
geopolitical situation (there was no such drastic drop in the  
national economy, there were no sanctions and counter-  
sanctions); secondly, strategies are mainly declarative and  
image-political in nature and carefully bypass many acute  
topics: shadow economy; clan system, establishment quality;  
Islamic factor.  
The issues of social entrepreneurship are presented in the  
publications of both foreign authors and Russian academic  
researchers. Comparative analysis of theoretical approaches  
(
15, 27, 33, 41, 43, 44, 45), the systematization of the research  
findings allow concluding that they consider social  
entrepreneurship as a factor of social change intended to  
resolve social issues such as global warming, social inequality,  
environmental problems, demographic explosion, poverty,  
illiteracy, and other problems of sustainable development. The  
critical elements of sustainable development are human  
welfare, environmental and economic well-being. Research  
A qualitative leap in the development of problematic  
regions is possible through the use of innovations, and this  
refers not only to the economic life of the region (8). The  
balanced development of the problematic region lies in the  
introduction of innovations into production, public  
consciousness, and public administration.  
(
17, 26, 36) proved that social entrepreneurship assists the  
achievement of universally accepted goals of sustainable  
development and also substantially contributes to the  
development of socially acceptable business practices in  
particular regions. The constituent entities of the Russian  
Federation included in the NCFD are among the least  
At present, experts give a low assessment of the innovative  
potential of the NCFD entities, especially within the shift to a  
new technological system (22).  
To date, the main goal of managing the socio-economic  
development in the North-Caucasus region is the  
establishment of such a national socio-economic system,  
which, on the one hand, would have a high-competitive  
economy, and on the other hand, a high living standard of the  
population.  
economically-developed regions with  
a high level of  
unemployment, crime rate, and a tense ethnopolitical situation.  
According to economic theories (16), problematic regions are  
commonly distinguished by qualitative features such as:  
The existence of a problem, or several problems that  
Academicians (20) stress that the emergence and diffusion  
of new types of economic regulation in the traditional ethnic  
environment are possible provided a sustainable development  
of all components of social reproduction of ethnic groups that  
have been established during their long historical  
development.  
We should pay special attention to the fact that the market  
innovations of shock therapy, which were not appropriate  
for the system of traditional economic practices and the  
established system of their social organization during market  
transformation of the economy of the peripheral multi-ethnic  
regions caused the revival of traditional patriarchal relations  
and clannishness, which finally resulted in naturalization of  
economic relations and deepening of patriarchy and the new  
archaic. Thus, the scholars conclude that the traditions,  
pose a potential threat to political stability, the socio-economic  
status of the region and the country as a whole, the ecological  
balance;  
In some situations, the geopolitical and geo-economic  
status of the region may be of particular importance for the  
countrys strategic interests (some entities of the NCFD are  
frontier regions);  
The availability of a specific resource potential  
(
production, labor, scientific and technical, natural), the  
utilization hereof is of particular importance for the national  
economy;  
The lack of own financial resources for the  
management of issues.

supporting the social institutions that regulate the economic  
life of an ethnic group, provide sluggish development and  
preserve the existing technological system.  
To flawed infrastructure system of small business  
in the republics and the lack of facilitated access to financial  
resources, consulting support, etc. (1).  
Under the conditions of modern development institutions,  
entrepreneurial activity arranged under ethnic principles is  
non-competitive. In competitive respect, such entrepreneurs  
will be inevitably inferior to innovation-oriented, globalized  
and transnational rivals (7).  
An analysis of the research conducted (20) allows  
concluding that the North Caucasus do not have key factors for  
the development of favorable institutional conditions for  
economic modernization, which leads to negative trends in the  
economy and business:  
The destruction of the public economic sector and, to that,  
the mass layoff led to the fact that illegal trade and service were  
both new and prevailing forms of employment for the national  
republics of the North-Caucasus region. People who have lost  
their previous jobs often solve the issue of employment  
through an adaptive resource in illegal trade and service,  
which, as a rule, is not accounted and is not specified in official  
statistical data.  
This segment of the economy has become a particularly  
large-scale (against the volume of the local economy) in the  
North Caucasus and has turned into the only real way for tens  
and hundreds of thousands of people to earn money in terms  
of complete stagnation of public enterprises.  
-the lack of entrepreneurs interest in long-term  
investments, since property rights are not guaranteed and can  
be reassigned or withdrawn due to acts of competitors,  
government authorities or criminals;  
-unavailable conditions for the capitalization of  
theresources accumulated by private households;  
the pressure of unofficial practices depending on  
4 Discussion  
An analysis of institutional measures to improve the  
populations living standard in the NCFD regions allows  
considering poverty and unemployment as factors that  
constrain economic growth and development in the region.  
The resolution of social problems in the NCFD concerns both  
the increase in the budget funding of the social area with a  
simultaneous enhancement in their efficient use and  
entrepreneurial activity  through the development of  
partnership mechanisms between the government and business  
(18). Given the attitude of the population and the high  
corruption of public authorities in the NCFD regions, the  
development of small business in all sectors of the economy  
becomes of the highest priority. The cultivation of socially-  
oriented small business should be foregrounded since it is that  
it can ensure:  
the positions of the clan, religious communities, belonging to  
the titular nation, etc. on the mechanisms of judicial protection.  
The governmental refusal of the support of past social  
standards in the term of market transformation predetermined  
the renewal of archaic social institutions of ethnic economy: a  
large family, a numerous and influential group or clan, out-of-  
date forms of community regulation of property and land,  
increasing influence of adat structures and others (6).  
The ethnic economy is generally interpreted as a  
traditional (pre-industrial) type of labor activity developed in  
the respective ethnic communities and closely related to the  
traditional way of life, economic orientation, and everyday  
family life of the population in the territory (19).  
At the same time, the modern ethnic economy is not  
immune to high-tech and high-skilled forms of activity  
The development of self-employment, the creation  
of jobs with a flexible schedule, which will allow students, the  
disabled, women with small children and other socially  
vulnerable groups to gain a particular income;  
(
especially in the service sector), anyway related to the  
traditions, customs, and everyday family life of the  
corresponding ethnic group (21).  
The ethnic economy in the challenging terms of the current  
economic development of the North-Caucasus republics is  
designed to perform several particular functions, also in the  
management of social and economic issues:  
Creation of labor-intensive jobs that will help to  
engage a large number of the rural population in unreported  
employment. Labor-intensive jobs are mainly focused on the  
production of utilitarian products of folk-art crafts, which are  
historically manufactured with the use of manual labor;  
1) Socio-economic (absorbing labor resources released  
Increased investment in the economy through the  
mobilization of social funds.  
from other economicsectors, the ethnic economy contributes  
to tension relief in the employment of the population);  
As academic researchers think (24, 28), the blurred lines  
of the concept and the corresponding term social  
entrepreneurship used in the context of any socially useful  
activity prevents the institutionalization of this phenomenon.  
In this relation, the issue of defining the conceptual fields of  
social entrepreneurship, the socially responsible practice of  
commercial business, the activities of non-profit  
organizations, charity, etc. is currently being stated.  
According to the concept (13), social entrepreneurs are  
agents of positive changes in institutional, social and economic  
areas because:  
2) Shock-absorbing (ethnic economy mitigates the  
destructive impact of crisis phenomena on the economy of the  
North-Caucasus republics);  
3) Retaining the traditions and customs of ethnic groups  
(
1).  
In addition to the apparent advantages of the ethnic  
economy (relatively low investments, often owing to private  
households self-investment; possible utilization of domestic  
labor; preservation of traditional folk crafts, etc.), it also has  
many weak points related, in particular:  
To low adjustment possibilities of entrepreneurs in

economic barriers: low technological and organizational

Academic researchers of business practices in different  
areas of activity (35, 40) more broadly define  
entrepreneurship, namely as a particular type of proactive  
behavior, the outcomes hereof can be goods, ideas, and  
institutions. In addition to the knowledge of the technology of  
a particular industry, any business activity needs universal  
detectors of new chances and the ability to fulfill them,  
attracting the required resources (31). As researchers suppose  
economy;  
technological  
backwardness;  
insufficient  
investment in the region; a high number of natural and small-  
scale production; low effective public demand;  
social barriers: low living standard of the population; high  
unemployment rate; loss of skills by labor force; low  
professional and social mobility of the population; outflow of  
talented youth from the region; low level of education;  
ethnocultural barriers: peculiarities of the national  
attitude; high religious commitment; the risk of loss of national  
handicraft traditions; isolation, lack of developed  
communications; the diffusion of xenophobia and religious  
extremism.  
(
24), social entrepreneurship as an activity includes the  
following three components:  
1) Identification of a persistent but unfair balance, which  
(
determines social exclusion, marginalization or suffering of a  
part of society;  
(
2) Revealing the opportunity to make social benefit within  
The most critical role in the establishment and  
development of social entrepreneurship as a resource for  
managing socio-economic issues in the North-Caucasus region  
belongs to educational institutions that implement the  
programs of training young people for social entrepreneurship  
and promote it on the youth market concerning ethnic and  
cultural features of each republic.  
unfair balance through inspiration, ingenuity, direct acts, and  
courage of the entrepreneur;  
(
3) The gradual achievement of a new balance that releases  
a hidden potential or alleviates the suffering of the target group  
through the creation of a stable ecosystem in the vicinity of the  
new balance. The latter is designed to ensure a better future for  
the target group and society as a whole.  
Thus, the main distinguishing feature of social  
entrepreneurship is the generation of social transformation and  
aim for the implementation of the essential mission (creation  
of social value). The study of social entrepreneurship allowed  
the authors to make a conclusion: social entrepreneurship is  
seeking to resolve social troubles with an innovative method,  
inventing or combining social and economic resources in such  
a way that to establish a self-reproducing mechanism enabling  
the expansion of production and the provision of targeted  
social benefits.  
Socially-oriented business behavior is included in a  
broader socio-cultural context, and therefore in the study of  
this phenomenon, it is necessary to regard the contextual  
factors (29). Thus, researchers (13) argue that social  
entrepreneurship is differently manifested depending on socio-  
economic and cultural conditions. In this relation, it is relevant  
to study the features inherent in specific social communities,  
relations, and ties between their members.
