Impact investing is gaining global attention from society,
governments and businesses. Increasingly, it is seen as a new
paradigm to deal with the economic crisis and curtailed public
budgets, an answer to the diversified needs of society. It now
ranks high on the policy agenda of governments and international
organizations, and private investors are searching for new
investment opportunities to channel the liquidity available. This
book is the first to look at impact investing as a "refocus" of
venture capital to sustain the development of societal impact
enterprises. Principles and Practice of Impact Investing collects
chapters from international experts on the subject, discussing the
foundations of the movement, analysing leading international cases
and debating future trends in the field. It also includes
interviews with some of the most influential stakeholders of impact
investing across the world. The book is an inspirational and
practical guide for actors and stakeholders to enable better
understanding of impact investing. Taking an international
perspective, the chapters primarily deal with mature economies,
setting it apart from the existing literature focused on emerging
countries. The book will be of interests to practitioners and
executives, as well as researchers and MBA students.
