Recenzii

Globally, social entrepreneurship is innovatively addressing social issues.But innovation and efficiency depend on entrepreneurs and institutions having the necessary knowledge and skills. This book's highly experienced contributors will help social enterprise meet that challenge. Roger Spear, Open University

This is a valuable new contribution to the growing literature on social enterprises aimed at undergraduate populations. The collection includes interesting and useful international case studies as well as a strong thematic approach towards social innovation. The inclusion of chapters on the ethics of innovation and on social finance is also particularly welcome. Alex Nicholls, Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, Said Business School, Oxford
