This volume discusses the seminal interface between social
entrepreneurship and sustainable development along with their
inter-linkages. It traces the role of social entrepreneurship and
innovations in societal transformation in creating sustainable
societies, especially in developing nations. It explores how social
entrepreneurship and enterprise is integral to the promise of
fostering opportunities for socially disadvantaged groups
(including the poor, women, and young people), as well as in
addressing environmental and ecological issues apart from wealth
creation. The book presents key concepts, case studies, and
multiple innovative models involving social entrepreneurship, such
as green financing, serial social entrepreneurship, sustainable
livelihood creation, and well-being, in addition to highlighting
global sustainable development goals of the United Nations. The
chapters are organised under the broad themes of sustainability of
the organisation, sustainability of the community, sustainability
of the development, and sustainability of the
community-organisation interface. They examine social change,
social innovation, social enterprise, small and micro-enterprises,
microfinance institutions, inclusive growth, education,
productivity, physical health, waste management, energy retention,
self-reliance, and corporate social responsibility. They contain
emerging research issues in the field as well as critical
assessments while bringing together theoretical and practitioners'
perspectives. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers
of development studies, social entrepreneurship, sustainable
development, environmental studies, public policy, and political
sociology. It will also greatly interest professionals from
non-profit, corporate, and public sectors, other development
practitioners, and international bodies.
