In Entrepreneurship and Sustainability the editors and contributors
challenge the notion that not-for-profit social entrepreneurship is
the only sort that can lead to the alleviation of poverty.
Entrepreneurship for profit is not just about the entrepreneur
doing well. Entrepreneurs worldwide are leading successful
for-profit ventures which contribute to poverty alleviation in
their communities. With the challenge of global poverty before
them, entrepreneurs continue to develop innovative,
business-oriented ventures that deliver promising solutions to this
complex and urgent agenda. This book explores how to bring
commercial investors together with those who are best placed to
reach the poorest customers. With case studies from around the
World, the focus of the contributions is on the new breed of
entrepreneurs who are blending a profit motive with a desire to
make a difference in their communities and beyond borders. A number
of the contributions here also recognize that whilst much research
has been devoted to poverty alleviation in developing countries,
this is only part of the story. Studies in this volume also focus
upon enterprise solutions to poverty in pockets of significant
deprivation in high-income countries, such as the Appalachia region
of the US, in parts of Europe, and the richer Asian countries. Much
has been written about the achievements of socially orientated
non-profit microfinance institutions. This valuable, academically
rigorous but accessible book will help academics, policy makers,
and business people consider what the next generation of more
commercially orientated banks for the 'bottom billion' might look
like.
