This edited volume is an interdisciplinary approach towards examining and integrating diverse theories, methodologies, and practices of social entrepreneurship. It highlights how social enterprises with their focus on resolving societal problems and driving social change, are critical for inclusive economic growth. The book is organized in three parts — values, sustainability and social enterprise models; context, innovation and technology; and, perspectives and directions of future research in social entrepreneurship. The chapters contribute towards a better understanding of organizational and process dimensions of social and economic value creation, a relatively under-researched area in social entrepreneurship. They capture an extensive range of insights, analysis and case studies bringing together context specific dimensions and variables supportive of social enterprise creation and the development processes in social value creation.
The book is useful for a wide range of audiences including social entrepreneurs, researchers, policy makers, development professionals, graduate and post graduate students seeking a deeper understanding of this evolving field. It also emphasizes practical guidance for individuals and organizations involved in social enterprise. It offers actionable insights, best practices, and real-world examples, enabling readers to apply the knowledge gained to their own contexts and effectively navigate the challenges and opportunities encountered in the field.
