Social Entrepreneurship

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A timely contribution that equips people in organizations and more broadly in society with the tools, language, and frameworks to effect change and contribute to building a greener, fairer, and more just society. At once a primer on the social enterprise movement and a translation of academic research into practitioner action, this book demonstrates why we must all become social entrepreneurs to face today's pressing challenges. At a time of multidimensional crises globally, this is an immensely useful companion for moving from ideas to impact."
