Editat de Neil Malhotra
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2022
The rapidly growing and increasingly necessary field of social innovation and entrepreneurship has no foundational manual for how to do it right and how to address the top issues in the field. This is that handbook, with contributions from practitioners in the field and the leading thinkers on the subject.
  • Provides an essential volume of thought leadership in a field without one to date but which is growing so fast it needs ones.
  • Brings together the best and brightest minds in the space rather than focusing on one niche aspect of the field through one author.
  • Positioned as a "bible" for students and practitioners alike.
  • Timely topic as we live through a pandemic and the need is even greater for how to solve societal problems.
Audience: Leaders in social innovation; social entrepreneurs; government leaders; leaders of businesses invested in collaborating in the social innovation space; every B school student on the planet.
