| Description: |
This book builds on a track record of research and education in corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship at ESADE Business School's Institute of Social Innovation. |
| Synopsis: |
The world's social, ecological and economic ? ?problems are so complex and diverse that there? ?will never be a "one-size-fits-all" model for ? ?social innovation. The very nature of social ? ?innovation as a new, better way of solving ? ?social problems means that it is not even in the ? ?interest of social innovation advocates to create ? ?tidy definitions, but rather to create environments ? ?that allow for the process of creative ? ?destruction with a social purpose to prosper. ? ?Inspired by a desire to deepen our understanding? ? of the role of social innovation in ? ?addressing today's most pressing challenges, ? ?authors Heloise Buckland and David Murillo ? ?explore four inspiring cases and define a new ? ?set of variables to help better understand the ? ?conditions under which social innovation can be most effective. These variables can be ? ?helpful for investors, governments, academic? ? centres, foundations and individual entrepreneurs ? ?interested in measuring the potential of ? ?any given social innovation to bring about the ? ?much-needed systemic change to solve today's? ? complex challenges.? ?This book builds on a track record of ? ?research and education in corporate social? ? responsibility and social entrepreneurship at ? ?ESADE Business School's Institute of Social ? ?Innovation. ? ?Building on an understanding of the key? ? characteristics and challenges faced by social ? ?entrepreneurs, here authors undertake a deeper? ? analysis of social innovation. |
