Market-based social economy firms such as social enterprises,
social purpose businesses, co-operatives, credit unions, and
community economic development corporations aim to meet distinct
social needs while making money. Do these types of businesses have
the potential for growth in the modern economy? Are they destined
to function only in areas where conventional firms cannot achieve a
sufficient rate of return? Or will the role of social economy
organizations change as businesses begin placing more emphasis on
corporate social responsibility?
Building on the popular 2010 collection Researching the Social
Economy, Businesses with a Difference explores the challenges and
opportunities faced by firms that seek a genuine balance between
their social and economic objectives. Through international case
studies, including comparative analyses, this innovative collection
highlights the unique issues that must be addressed when
associations are accountable not to investors and shareholders, but
instead to ordinary people.
