Entrepreneurial Skill in the Non-Profit and Social Sectors

 

The American and world economies have become increasingly entrepreneurial, with greater percentages of wealth than ever before residing in new ventures.  This book emphasizes an entrepreneurial approach to creating solutions for social problems and unmet needs of society, transforming them into authentic opportunities to create social value.

 

Understanding of For-Profit Ventures

 

A new generation of social entrepreneurs are looking to transfer the traditional skills of establishing new ventures to non commercial frontiers. The text helps tie the similarities of what social entrepreneurs do with the orientation and activities of for-profit entrepreneurs. However, they also face unique issues of measuring social benefit, acquiring donated resources, and knowing what “success” means in a nonprofit environment.
