Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that\u003cbr\u003ebook--and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation--to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q \u0026amp; A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as\u003cbr\u003ewell as in its particulars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBornstein and Davis explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant-based\u003cbr\u003enon-profit work. Unlike the typical top-down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning -- learning by doing--working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, \u003cbr\u003elocal problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change, \u003cem\u003eSocial Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know(R)\u003c\/em\u003e is the ideal first place to look. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Everyone Needs to Know(R)\u003c\/em\u003e is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Bornstein\u003c\/strong\u003e specializes in writing about social innovation.
