David Bornstein's previous book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World , was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times as "a bible in the field" and published in more than twenty countries. Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book--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 & A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. Bornstein 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 non-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, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. Anyone 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, Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know® is the ideal first place to look.

Review: a great short introduction to social entrepreneurship - If you're interested in changing the world by scaling up new social practices -- or even in thinking about that possibility -- then you're probably interested in social entrepreneurship (whether you know it or not!), and this book will help you to think about it. As with other books in the "What Everyone Needs to Know" series, what you won't get here is extended narratives about particular examples of social entrepreneurship. These books are structured more like long-form FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents, with vignettes and discussions of no more than a few pages apiece. The payoff is that this book asks, and goes a long way toward addressing, a wide range of deep questions about social entrepreneurship. It also gives great suggestions about where to read more. Beyond that, Bornstein and Davis's writing is lucid and at times lyrical. Review: Fantastic introduction and practical guidance - Fantastic introduction to social entrepreneurship. Very well written and easy to read. I’m a grad student and have read quite a bit on the topic. This book is thorough but simple and fun to read. The authors’ expertise and enthusiasm shine through, and theoretical ideas are illustrated beautifully through real world examples and case studies. The authors also give realistic guidance and practical ideas for anyone considering following the path of social entrepreneurship. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #371,276 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #4,772 in Early Childhood Education Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 221 Reviews | ## Images ![Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know® - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71txEh2astL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great short introduction to social entrepreneurship *by M***N on December 3, 2021* If you're interested in changing the world by scaling up new social practices -- or even in thinking about that possibility -- then you're probably interested in social entrepreneurship (whether you know it or not!), and this book will help you to think about it.

Very well written and easy to read. I’m a grad student and have read quite a bit on the topic. This book is thorough but simple and fun to read. The authors’ expertise and enthusiasm shine through, and theoretical ideas are illustrated beautifully through real world examples and case studies. The authors also give realistic guidance and practical ideas for anyone considering following the path of social entrepreneurship. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro to social entrepreneurship *by S***N on August 3, 2014* I have a strong interest in social entrepreneurship ever since I envisioned a social enterprise (and as I grew disillusioned with Government and the progress of other NGOs and nonprofits). I was hoping that this book would give some insights in the direction of social work and some ideas of where we could take things. I was right. I got loads of insights and ideas and feel motivated to make the move to change the world. This is not a how-to book for creating a non-profit or social enterprise, but is a great introduction to social entrepreneurship. I recommend it as a starter read to understand the challenges of creating one, and to get inspired as to how you can overcome them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know® - How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, Updated Edition - Building Social Business: The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/1610205-social-entrepreneurship-what-everyone-needs-to-know](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/1610205-social-entrepreneurship-what-everyone-needs-to-know) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
