Overall however, the book is more suited to practicioners.Good for the student for understanding Social Entrepreneur and their businessExcellent content and well written providing students with supporting theory and guidanceExcellent content that delivers information clearly
A good introductory text to social enterprise that explores in particular how they are run and links to general theories of e.g. governance, management etcAlthough not timely - the text was being written in 2007-2008 - the structure fits well with an undergraduate introduction to social enterprise.

A particularly helpful - and surprising - chapter on Strat Man for SEs.

A second edition would be a welcome addition...in tlC‹
