The study found that the social enterprise field in Bangladesh is susceptible to dual isomorphic pressures. They face a significant level of coercive and mimetic isomorphism influence within the local institutional environment and they also have a distinct relationship with the state. Propositions are developed for social enterprise field towards the country’s macro-level environment, enabling or constraining the field regarding prospects and perils. Based on the discussion of imposed & unpremeditated pressures, the relationship between these two actors are redefined.
