Over the past 15 years, numerous developments have underscored the significance of social entrepreneurship. These include the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Grameen Bank in 2006, the scholarly endeavors of individuals dedicated to studying social ventures, the introduction of new academic programs at esteemed Ivy League universities, and the establishment of indices like the United Nations Human Development Index to assess non-economic factors. This book presents these as robust indicators that bolster the growth and sustainability of a market-based economy that also promotes social progress and human values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is imperative to recognize the contextual factors that give rise to social start-ups. The authors undertake a comprehensive and empirical analysis of the emergence of social entrepreneurship by utilizing data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and case studies drawn from real-world practices. From an individual perspective, they explore the defining characteristics of social entrepreneurs, while from a broader macro lens, social ventures are examined as agents of change. Additionally, a carefully curated selection of successful cases of social ventures serves as a valuable resource, offering insights into best practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 314g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030806378\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virginia Simon-Moya,Maria Rodriguez-Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44282937573626,"sku":"9783030806378","price":51.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_95a49053-9e66-4684-ae01-eab44a8ba594.jpg?v=1686916398","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-social-entrepreneurship-individuals-and-social-ventures-as-agents-of-change-9783030806378","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
