Do Sustainably","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocial enterprises of all forms drive inclusive growth by creating social and economic networks, and a stable ecosystem, that enable societies to grow and prosper. This book presents a collection of ten case studies that demonstrate the important role played by social enterprises in driving inclusive growth in Asia's economies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike the traditional models, such as NGOs and charities, that are donor dependent for funding, a social enterprise is a hybrid business model that includes both social mission and revenue generation goals to ensure sustainability and self-reliance. The ten case studies in the book provide a ringside view of how social enterprises operate and evolve to create, sustain, and scale up their social impact. Readers will gain a practical understanding of how social entrepreneurs struggle to maintain a balance between their two seemingly contradictory goals of creating social value and generating economic returns. The book carries the readers on the journey of each of these ten social enterprises, offering unique and valuable insights into the motivations, tribulations, successes, and even failures of these organisations-critical for continued learning, contribution, and innovation in the domain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is appropriate for all readers interested in the role social entrepreneurship plays in stimulating economic growth in Asia, including organisations, government, and universities, as well as individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032067314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032067315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.35d","brand":"Howard Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990465741055,"sku":"9781032067315","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adc50df7-b153-46bc-85d2-f06fe4542684.jpg?v=1683304832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asias-social-entrepreneurs-howard-thomas-9781032067315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
