Publisher Description Social Entrepreneurship: Theory and Practice is about the creative ways in which social entrepreneurs solve pressing and insurmountable social problems. Theories of social change are presented to help demystify the magic of making an immense, yet durable and irreversible, social impact.

They also review the specific personality traits of social entrepreneurs and introduce the new kind of leadership they represent.
