About this audiobook
The current business-for-profit model rewards short-term thinking, narrow self-interest, and a social-and-environmental-costs-be-damned attitude. Non-profits, while more focused on the greater good, tend to be inherently resource-challenged and rely on increasingly scarce grants and donations to sustain their existence. Social enterprise is an exciting, blended model driven by the desire to create positive change through entrepreneurial activities.
The Art of Social Enterprise is a practical guide which supplies everything you need to know about the mechanics of social entrepreneurship including:
Startup – envisioning and manifesting intention
Strategic planning – balancing social and monetary value
Maintaining an even keel despite the inevitable challenges associated with being an entrepreneur.
This valuable resource also provides an unparalleled legal perspective to help you take advantage of established legal organizational forms, recent statutory creations, contract hybrids, certification programs and more.
