Social Entrepreneurship

The second edition of this popular book has been inspired by the increasing interest around social entrepreneurship scholarship and the practice of delivering innovative solutions to social issues.

Although social enterprises generally remain small, the impact of social entrepreneurs is increasing globally, as all countries are endeavouring to respond to increasingly complex social problems and demands for welfare at a time of government cut backs.

Additional chapters and international case studies explore new developments, such as the rise of the social investment market, the use of design thinking and the increasing importance of social impact measurement.

Christopher Durkin is an Associate Professor at the University of Northampton. Previously he was Head of the Northampton Institute of Urban Affairs, Social Enterprise Development Director in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Northampton, a member of the School’s senior management team and course leader for the MA in Social Innovation, a social venture builder programme.

Robert Gunn is a former lecturer of social policy and social work at the University of York, who has an extensive practice background in the probation service specialising in community development.
