Suitable for courses addressing community economic development,
non-profit organizations, co-operatives and the social economy more
broadly, the second edition of Understanding the Social Economy
expands on the authors' ground-breaking examination of
organizations founded on a social mission - social enterprises,
non-profits, co-operatives, credit unions, and community
development organizations. While the role of the private and public
sectors are very much in the public light, the social economy is
often taken for granted. However, try to imagine a society without
the many forms of organizations that form the social economy:
social service organizations, arts and recreation organizations,
ethno-cultural associations, social clubs, self-help groups,
universities and colleges, hospitals and other healthcare
providers, foundations, housing co-operatives, or credit unions.
Not only do these organizations provide valuable services, but they
employ many people, and purchase goods and services. They are both
social and economic entities. Understanding the Social Economy
illustrates how organizations in the social economy interact with
the other sectors of the economy and highlights the important
social infrastructure that these organizations create. The second
edition contains six new case studies as well three new chapters
addressing leadership and strategic management, and human resources
management. A much-needed work on an important but neglected facet
of organizational studies, Understanding the Social Economy
continues to be an invaluable resource for the classroom and for
participants working in the social sector.
