Reviews

"An excellent update of a key text on social enterprises with improved scope and insight. Vital reading for students, scholars and practitioners." Eddy Hogg, Centre for Philanthropy, University of Kent "Traditional approaches to running economies and doing business seem inadequate and lack support from the wider public. This timely publication, rich with excellent case studies, provides a concrete approach towards making the world a better place." Tommy Hutchinson, Founder & CEO, i-genius "Insightful essays on the mind-set and skill-set required by today's social entrepreneurs, wherever in the world they may be." Asheem Singh, CEO of UK charity and social enterprise leaders' network ACEVO
