Social entrepreneurship, in its many forms – whether it be the use of entrepreneurial strategies and techniques to develop and manage organizations with social and community aims, or operating for-profit enterprises that have as their mission community betterment and concern for global well-being – has captured the interest and imaginations of scholars, practitioners, governments, and the general public since the early 1990s. The sharp increases in academic research and university courses in SE and funding for social entrepreneurs has left scholars, students, and practitioners hungry for quality resources on the topic. Representing the first comprehensive survey of the emerging field of social entrepreneurship, this edited volume will disseminate the numerous streams of research and theory in social and sustainable entrepreneurship to educators, libraries, scholars, non-profit researchers, public policy makers, practitioners, graduate students, and any organization or person interested in staying abreast of advances in this area. It is an important reference book for teachers, students and faculty interested in conducting research or teaching social entrepreneurship.
