This book aims to define what Social Entrepreneurship (SE) actually
is, and what it is not. The author adopts a novel approach to the
SE phenomenon, considering it as a dynamic process created and
managed by innovative social entrepreneurs striving to create new
social values in the market and community at large. Francesco
Perrini argues that SE has attained a wider and more enthusiastic
acceptance in corporate thinking and practice than in the
literature surrounding the field. This part theoretical, part
practitioner-based double line of reasoning forms the basis of the
book. It attempts to answer hitherto unresolved questions such as:
* How can SE be defined? * How can Social Entrepreneurship Ventures
(SEVs) be identified? * How do SEVs vary and what factors lead to
their success? * Does the way in which an SEV is designed matter,
and are business plans important? * Is an SEV reliant on
traditional sources of financing? The focus of the book then shifts
to practical examples of how perspectives on SE are translated into
concrete phenomena. Several case studies are used to illustrate
theoretical frameworks, each tackling specific aspects of SE and
making theory and practice comparisons. Taking on the challenge of
providing a clear, focused definition of SE supported by practical
experiences, this book provides a critical and comprehensive
framework aimed at stimulating current and future debate on the
role and key features of SE research. As such, it will provide
fascinating and enlightening reading for entrepreneurship academics
and entrepreneurial professionals alike.
