The research aims to analyze the relationship between social entrepreneurship, social impact and social self-regulation, as well as identify the roles that social entrepreneurs play in the process of social change. Methodologically, the study is based on the content analysis
employed to identify the key features and characteristics of the concept of social entrepreneurship; grouping and a graphical method were used to analyze the relations between the subjects of social entrepreneurship and social change. The study identifies the key tools through which social entrepreneurship influences social processes. The research describes the goals of actors in social entrepreneurship and the concepts of
the theory of social change, which help to understand the role social aspects play in solving social issues and maintaining social self-regulation. The article is relevant as it gives a review that can be of use in teaching an Economics of Entrepreneurship course and can be helpful for scholars studying social change and the development of social self-regulatory mechanisms. The novelty of the study lies in the theoretical
analysis of social entrepreneurship as a tool for promoting social change and strengthening social self-regulatory mechanisms. The article concludes that social entrepreneurship plays a key role in the process of social change, acting as a catalyst and stabilizer of social self-regulation processes. Social entrepreneurs not only contribute to solving specific social problems, but also actively engage in the formation of
sustainable and self-regulating social structures.
