Social enterprises often do business in a hostile business environment as they compete for market share with the private sector and address societal and governmental failures. Strategy in social enterprises is concerned with the long-term direction of the business and the implementation of short-term objectives given their current operational challenges, such as a lack of funding, expertise, skills, knowledge, etc.
Cases on Survival and Sustainability Strategies of Social Entrepreneurs focuses on how managers formulate a strategy to sustain the social enterprise venture and enable social entrepreneurs to understand and apply strategic management models whilst reviewing practical cases. This book discusses effective strategies social enterprises can adopt to secure their long-term future. Covering topics such as adaptive leadership, social innovation, and sustainable development, this book is ideal for social enterprise managers, trustees of charities, researchers, academicians, and students of social enterprises and management including business management.
