摘要

Next generations may experience large corporations and governments of developed countries dominating the development and benefits of new technologies, while other social actors become “powerless observers”. There are also opportunities for the social economy in all its forms to strategically shape the development and application of 4IR technologies to achieve social good (Mulgan 2021). Forth industrial revolution (4IR) brings new opportunities for social entrepreneurs through digitization, innovative technologies and new business models. Through the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, social enterprises can improve their operations, increase efficiency and achieve greater social impact. The question arises whether the actors of social entrepreneurship in Bosnia and Herzegovina recognize the challenges of 4IR and whether their programs, strategies and policies are in line with the challenges that await them? The paper will analyze the existing models of social entrepreneurship in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the degree of their readiness to adopt 4IR technologies, as well as the challenges that 4IR brings to social enterprises in our country.
