Conclusions
From: In The Business of Change
$0.30
The story of social entrepreneurship is one of inspired vision, determination, ingenuity and revival. But it’s also interspersed with enough moments of frustration and challenge to make that forward movement all the more impressive. The profiles in this book are not only powerful validation of this movement’s capacity to effect substantial and meaningful impact, they demonstrate the potential for even one person — with enough grit, commitment, resourceful use of business models and know-how — to make change.
