Promise, Pitfalls, and Potential of Social Entrepreneurship: Positive Change Unleashed [Paperback]

In this book, the authors argue that social enterprise is surrounded by great promise, and that this high expectation has contributed to its pitfalls, setting social enterprise out as separate and different from other kinds of business, public service provision, and nonprofit organising for social benefit.
