Social Entrepreneurship has become a global phenomenon that impacts the lives of citizens by using innovative approaches to solving social problems. This book offers an in-depth and comprehensive discussion of this vibrant area of research and broadens the up until now limited understanding of the theoretical foundations of this phenomenon. Social entrepreneurs use business and entrepreneurial skills to address issues such as poverty, education, environmental protection or health. They achieve this through for-profit, not-for-profit and a number of hybrid organizational forms.
Academic interest has generally focused on practitioner achievements and teaching in MBA electives yet new avenues of research provide insights into some of the fundamental questions about the field: how social entrepreneurs identify and evaluate opportunities, social and institutional barriers to markets, strategic orientation, resource deployment and innovation. The rigorous academic analyses in this book provide an excellent introduction to social entrepreneurship theory and a framework for future research.
