隨著社會企業發展日益成熟，其以解決社會問題的創新商業模式開始被高度關注。為達成系統性解決社會問題，社會企業必須更進一步擴大其影響力以獲得社會支持、創造改變。社會企業擴大影響力的模式涵蓋一般企業之組織成長到創新開放資源網絡。

然而，現今多數研究社會企業成長之文獻仍以社會企業之創新開放網絡或是不同於既有企業成長模式之新興策略為主。故本研究以社會企業之組織成長為研究範疇，採取一般企業成長策略進行歸納，並納入社會企業之財務資金來源與組合，增添社會企業在偏商業策略的研究。

本論文訪談四間具代表性之台灣社會企業－格外農品、元沛農坊、众社會企業以及鮮乳坊，並採用多重個案分析，歸納四個個案於不同階段之成長策略與財務資金來源，提煉出具共同性的成長脈絡，提供未來社會企業發展之參考。

Having developed for decades, social enterprises are gaining more attention from different sectors. As the development getting mature, social enterprises show a success of balancing dual mission and create a new business model of solving the social issues as their innovative competences. For achieving the ultimate aim of systemic change to solve the social problems fundamentally, scale up is regards as a process and a way to　further diffuse the social mission.
While most of the scale up researches of social enterprises focus on the social impact by non-organization growth, this research primarily concentrates on organization growth by using the growth theory of ordinary business ventures to classify the scale up approaches. The financial resources as the crucial factor to grow are also included into the research scope to draw a better picture of how social enterprises conquer the barrier of lacking of resources, and scale the organization up.
The current research adopts a multiple-case study with semi-structured interview by selecting four social enterprises from diverse fields and different growth phases to generalize the tendency of scale up approaches, which are GoodWill Foods, Yuen-Pei Farm. OurCityLove and PureMilk. Additionally, Taiwan social context is discussed to provide a relatively comprehensive overview of social enterprises scale up approaches in Taiwan.
