Social Entrepreneurship provides a 10-stage framework for building impactful ventures within and across new and existing organizations.

This fully updated second edition builds on the concepts and tools introduced previously, broadening the scope to those working or preparing to work in organizations globally. Concepts addressed include intrapreneurship and, for the first time, extrapreneurship, which considers innovating across organizations to achieve collective impact. Featuring international case studies and interviews with leaders in the field, this comprehensive guide spans multiple sectors, including health, the environment, education, agriculture, commerce, finance, and retail.

The book's applied 10-stage approach will also be valuable for those in executive education as well as professionals and entrepreneurs looking to equip themselves with the tools needed to succeed in social change.
