{"product_id":"social-entrepreneurship-david-bornstein-9780195396348","title":"Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)","description":"In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before--a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Bornstein's previous book on social entrepreneurship, \u003cem\u003eHow to Change the World\u003c\/em\u003e, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e as \"a bible in the field\" and published in more than twenty countries. Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book--and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation--to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q \u0026amp; A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBornstein and Davis explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant-based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top-down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning -- learning by doing--working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change, \u003cem\u003eSocial Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know(R)\u003c\/em\u003e is the ideal first place to look. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Everyone Needs to Know(R)\u003c\/em\u003e is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bornstein, Susan Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195396340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195396348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2010","brand":"David Bornstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914214277375,"sku":"9780195396348","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_32df4032-4591-46b8-8e01-b8713ee3bd2b.jpg?v=1680641001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-entrepreneurship-david-bornstein-9780195396348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
