Mission-driven ventures have the power to change the world and solve today’s most pressing social problems.

Author Carole Carlson uses a variety of real-world examples, cases, and profiles to illustrate how entrepreneurs around the world are changing their communities. Exercises allow students to practice developing their entrepreneurial skillset as they learn the fundamentals of structuring, financing, marketing, and scaling social ventures. Whatever social cause your students are passionate about, they will find Social Entrepreneurship a vital resource for making their vision a reality.

A thorough introductory handbook to what social entrepreneurship is and what it takes to run a social venture.
[Social Entrepreneurship] is complete. Other texts have a very biased smathering of topics which reflect the building of the subject area as an academic course. The textbook shows evidence of consolidation of the subject area and that the area as a whole is settling into social entrepreneurship as a theory.
[Social Entrepreneurship] is a student-focused text that will be easy to read and easy to teach. [The text] provides a great introduction and overview to build upon in class and to have other readings complement for your undergrads.
The book does a nice job with team building and ecosystem, and has some interesting class exercises.
[The text] is well organized and structured with good cases.
[Social Entrepreneurship] is simple to read, hands-on-activity oriented, good balance of theoretical content & cases.
Easy to read, full of real-life stories and examples, with great application exercises and cases - all in one place!
This is an extremely useful textbook that presents information in a logical and well formatted way, which is conducive to learning. Each
chapter includes a glossary of terms to help reinforce student understanding and draw attention to the most important concepts, a
profile of a successful social entrepreneur, and a mini case study. There are also very helpful questions that will guide deeper
consideration of the topics presented and application of knowledge gained. The book is very user friendly.
This is a very good overview of social entrepreneurship that guides students through consideration of what these are, how they are
established, how they operation (or can operate), and how to assess their impact. The book provides a lot of insightful and engaging
cases and examples. In addition there are a number of useful exercises to provide experiential learning for students in developing
skills to support each aspect of social venturing.
Still conceding the text for an MBA course. In process of design. Will make decision by January 2024
