Understanding Social Enterprise: Theory and Practice

The first authoritative student textbook on the subject explores the issues of understanding the context and processes of Social Enterprise. In 12 comprehensive chapters the authors discuss and illustrate both theoretical and practical considerations for the field. Each chapter contains: a summary of key topics covered; illuminating and engaging international case studies to illustrate the themes covered and link them to practice; reflection boxes to enable students to critically consider their interpretation of issues raised; informative further reading; and links to online information about social enterprise projects.

There is also an accompanying website with a full instructors' manual, including Power Point slides and extra case studies, for lecturers and access to full-text journal articles and online exercises for students.
