Social Entrepreneurship - A Skills Approach (Hardcover, New)

Social entrepreneurship is growing and is at the top of the UK government's agenda for improving the provision of welfare services to individuals and communities. This book introduces students and practitioners to the current policy context of UK social entrepreneurship and the focus on those skills practitioners need to initiate, to develop, and to run enterprises in this field. It is first text to bring together the different insights of academics and practitioners of social entrepreneurship. It shows how to identify community need, to work in partnership with the intended recipients of a service, to finance enterprises, and to manage organizations through their various developmental stages. The book provides readers with the ability to reflect on how these key skills operate in the real world by the presentation of case studies from the UK, the US, China, and India.
