Emergence of Social Enterprise (Routledge Studies in the Management of Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations)

Description

What are the characteristics of social enterprises? What are the future propsects for social enterprises? What do social enterprises contribute? Analysing social enterprises in fifteen different countries, The Emergence of Social Enterprise seeks to answer these important questions while investigating the remarkable growth in the "third sector". Using the social enterprises as case-studies, theory and practice is combined in a compelling argument to support the concept of an "emergence" of social enterprise. Written by leading academics, in an accessible yet informed style, this book will be vital reading for all those studying and teaching non-profit organizations, social policy, social economy and civil society.

First Sentence
