Are you interested in, or curious about, Social Entrepreneurship / Social Enterprise?
“Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change,” states Ashoka, a worldwide network of social entrepreneurs.
Northeastern’s Professor Shaughnessy shares his definition as, ” Private for-profit and non-profit enterprises built for and committed to a social impact mission while using business knowledge and practices to enable efficiency, empower innovation and create a path to operational self-sustainability.”
