Reviews / Votes
"Understanding Social Entrepreneurship is one of the most comprehensive examinations of social entrepreneurship ever written. Kickul and Lyons completely capture both the essence and current surges in the field, covering every aspect from definition, opportunity, and scaling to funding, measurement, and ecosystems. For any scholar developing a course in social entrepreneurship, this is THE book!" -Donald F. Kuratko, Indiana University - Bloomington, USA"The United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE) launched a teaching certificate in Social Entrepreneurship in 2012. Participants in the certificate program are faculty who are interested in creating and teaching?courses in social entrepreneurship. Understanding Social Entrepreneurship is the recommended text for this certificate program and our participants value the up to date content and teaching tools provided. I personally use this text in courses I teach in Social Entrepreneurship and highly recommend it." -Tony Mendes, Former President, USASBE, USA
