Abstract
			Social enterprises are a kind of hybrid organizations, which are different from commercial enterprises and charities and have some characteristics of both at the same time. The research paradigm on Social enterprises is emerging. It is in the exploration stage in many fields and lacks a systematic research framework. The development of social enterprises is situational dependent, which leads to certain differences in the development and governance in different countries. The development of social enterprises in China has gone through a period and entered a new era situation: a new institutional, economic, cultural, and social interaction environment. Because of this characteristic, there are several important questions: in the new era of China, What opportunities and challenges do social enterprises face in China? How can they achieve sustainable development? In order to solve these problems, based on the research paradigm of “Resource and Capability + Dynamic Environment”, this paper discusses the research framework of Sustainable development strategy of social enterprises in the New Age of China. It may be helpful to promote social enterprise development.
