Social entrepreneurship is revolutionizing the way societal
challenges are being approached and solved. Instead of waiting for
government or big business to take action, individuals across the
world are developing and implementing innovative, effective, and
sustainable solutions to some of our most pressing social and
environmental challenges. In Entrepreneurship for Social Change, a
cast of expert contributors explore how the growing trend towards
social entrepreneurship, along with a variety of political,
cultural and social influences, have developed across sectors and
countries. The book features a diverse array of chapters on
subjects such as peer-to-peer lending, venture capital, the digital
silk road, small business contracting and women's health social
enterprises.
The 21st century has changed the face of entrepreneurship and
development. Venture capital volume almost tripled since 2006 and
concepts like microfinance have emerged and spread. Spurring the
creation of new technologies and new jobs, the role of
entrepreneurs now affects globalization and amplifies the dynamics
of markets and economic growth. Including a preface from Bill
Drayton (CEO, Ashoka: Everyone a Changemaker), a cast of expert
contributors explore how these new trends, along with a variety of
political, cultural and social influences, have affected
entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship and Development in the 21st
Century features a diverse array of chapters on subjects such as
venture capital, cryptomarkets, and alternatives to fair trade.
This work is the inaugural volume of a book series by the Lab for
Entrepreneurship and Development (LEAD), a now-independent
organization that first started at the Institute of Quantitative
Social Sciences (IQSS) at Harvard University. Experienced editors
Bruno S. Sergi and Cole C. Scanlon bring together a detailed
exploration of the new face of 21st century entrepreneurship.
Looking across cultures, countries and sectors, this is a vital
read for any student or researcher of entrepreneurial development.
