Description
Business with Purpose: Advancing Social Enterprise explores the growing need for businesses to operate with purpose. As the private sector plays an increasingly important role in development, firms are being encouraged to adopt a 'business-with-purpose' approach. This shift is driven by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the acquisition of social ventures by venture capitalists and private equity firms. The book fills a gap between research and practice, bridging the divide between non-profit and for-profit worlds. It focuses on scalable and sustainable business models that can create social wealth or promote sustainable living. By examining successful examples and identifying key barriers to growth, this book provides valuable insights for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and anyone interested in advancing social enterprise. With its focus on practical applications and real-world examples, Business with Purpose is an essential resource for those looking to build a business that makes a positive impact.
