The survival and growth of social enterprises present a critical challenge, exacerbated by the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The interplay between social entrepreneurship and sustainability remains underexplored, leaving a significant gap in academic research. This gap urgently demands the development of a comprehensive conceptual framework that links social entrepreneurship with various dimensions of sustainability - social, economic, behavioral, and governance.

Organizational Risks, Challenges, and Barriers in Developing Sustainability Start-Ups emerges as a groundbreaking solution to this pressing issue. This book provides a structured approach to bridge the divide between social entrepreneurship and sustainability, offering a clear path for organizations and researchers to construct more robust social entrepreneurship frameworks. With a dual aim, the book seeks to empower social enterprises to navigate economic fluctuations effectively and to enhance their capacity to attain social, environmental, and economic sustainability.
