About the Book
Social entrepreneurs look to create social impact both as a result of an operational process and as part of the process. They seek out opportunities to add social impact throughout their entire value chain, often employing and training excluded groups as a part of delivering their social mission. The process of social entrepreneurship is characterized by a range of social missions that are addressed at different points in the ‘social’ value chain.
The conventional view is that social enterprises should be not-for-profit, as they work to serve social needs. However, this is being challenged in the last few decades because we are increasingly finding both governments and markets compounding common problems instead of solving the same. Thus, if social enterprises need to serve the bigger purpose, they need to have personal, financial and technical resources and an institutional framework to function within. To sustain the system as business identity, they need to earn some profit, because they are working to create a long term impact in society. Aravind Eye Care Hospitals, for example, is registered as a trust and is sustained by charging users for affordable eye care.
This book will be helpful for the students pursuing MBA, corporates interested in CSR & Sustainability, scholars pursuing research in the area of social entrepreneurship, development economics and women’s role in development.
