There is a discussion that social enterprises are a way of solving our social problems. Few, however, are capable of accelerated growth and go on to create an international and socially sustainable footprint. This revised and updated second edition will equip you with the tools needed to create and manage a successful social enterprise with a positive social impact and commercial success. This textbook is also a crucial companion for existing ventures to scale up and increase social impact locally, nationally or internationally.
