Summary:
In recent years, social entrepreneurship (SE) has emerged as a popular term used by politicians, businesspeople and institutions alike to describe businesses that give back to society.
Johanna Mair, Jeffrey Robinson and Kai Hockerts first made waves in 2006 by exploring this topic in their book, "Social Entrepreneurship", born as a result of research presented at IESE's first International Entrepreneurship Research Conference in 2005. Since then, the concept has gained ground and legitimacy as an up-and-coming area of research.
Now the authors are back with "International Perspectives on Social Entrepreneurship", a sequel that pushes SE research forward in an effort to move towards a mainstream context. This new volume draws from research presented at the second International Entrepreneurship Research Conference, held at the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at NYU Stern School of Business. Featuring 20 global scholars, this follow-up seeks to provide new directions to existing theories.
"Our goal is to move the conversation beyond the discussion of definitions toward a discussion of constructs, concepts, frameworks and theories of social entrepreneurship," explain the authors. |
