In the past decade, social entrepreneurship has made a popular name for itself on the global scene as a new phenomenon that is reshaping the way we think about social value creation. As an area of research, however, social entrepreneurship is a relatively recent phenomenon. International Perspectives on Social Entrepreneurship provides a unique array of theory extending papers and phenomenon-based research unmatched by similar books. It draws on insights from scholars in Spain, Israel, the Philippines, Spain, Colombia, Venezuela, the United Kingdom and United States to provide a deeper understanding of the significance of social entrepreneurship to theory and practice.
