Description
Social entrepreneurialism is the process by which effective, innovative, and sustainable solutions are pioneered to meet social and environmental needs. This book presents essential modules of principle and practice for social entrepreneurs to work their magic. An entrepreneur designs and implements an intervention, product, or service that improves the well-being of target individuals and populations. This entrepreneurialism then forms a sustainable, replicable business model that meets a social or environmental need while maximizing social impact and minimizing resource use.
