Social enterprises - real businesses that trade for a social purpose - are a growing phenomena with an increasing role to play in society, but there is widespread confusion and controversy over the definition of the term.
This exciting book includes nearly forty interviews with the most influential and experienced social enterprise practitioners, supporters, thinkers and policy makers. In their own words, they discuss their organisations, values and world-changing goals, providing fresh clarity and understanding on the real value of social enterprises.
Jargon-free, the book delivers a lively and clear introduction as to what social enterprises are, how they can change individual lives and, by challenging assumptions, may even offer new directions for the future of capitalism. It is a unique guide for aspiring practitioners, students, researchers and public sector staff.
Helen Fitzhugh is a social researcher interested in the way organisations work to promote the social good. Previously Researcher at The Guild, she is currently working towards a PhD at the University of East Anglia, UK.
Nicky Stevenson has been active in the social enterprise sector for over 20 years. As a partner at The Guild, she worked on influential research and policy development initiatives with practitioners and academics.
