Starting from a hypothesis that could be termed \"the impossibility of a unified definition\", the ICSEM research strategy relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the social enterprise phenomenon in its local and national contexts. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major social enterprise models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocial Enterprise in Central and Eastern Europe - the last volume in a series of four ICSEM-based books on social enterprise worldwide - will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and others who want to acquire a broad understanding of the social enterprise and social entrepreneurship phenomena as they emerge and develop in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Defourny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367747316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367747312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Jacques Defourny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867146146047,"sku":"9780367747312","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dad140bf-8ec4-4a27-aae3-f137b42ad6eb.jpg?v=1747454019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-enterprise-in-central-and-jacques-defourny-9780367747312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
