Book excerpt: What does it mean to be an "entrepreneur" in today's milieu? Are profits everything? Is there any point to this journey on what is fast becoming an uninhabitable planet? Human entrepreneurship has brought us into the digital era, where business is now conducted @ the speed of thought. But laissez-faire capitalism-the framework that powers it-is broken. The above questions hang heavy over new and veteran entrepreneurs, draining motivation, energy and joy from their lives, as they run the rat race. This book has answers-by taking you from being entrepreneurs (a laudable achievement) to becoming sociopreneurs (the zenith of achievement). Drawing inspiration from the work of great sociopreneurs like Dr V, Sal Khan, Prof Yunus, William Bissell and others, it shows how to build a life of entrepreneurial satisfaction, create scalable social impact, and attain self-actualization without compromise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s it like to be a social entrepreneur – not a textbook social entrepreneur but one on the ground? This book offers an explanation. Michael Gordon, leading Social Entrepreneurship expert from the University of Michigan, spoke with more than one hundred social entrepreneurs – from six continents, young and old, just starting out to several decades in, addressing seemingly every societal problem of the day. This book uses their words and experiences to provide a kaleidoscopic description of what it means to become a social entrepreneur. It ranges from the personal and emotional challenges they often face to the grand impact many hope to produce. It touches on the sublime but focuses on the everyday, highlighting the mistakes that have been made, the lessons learned and, especially, what advice they would give to those wanting to start a social venture. This book presents the truth, not the varnish, and is ideal for use in the classroom with students studying social entrepreneurship, and for all new and experienced social entrepreneurs seeking real-life examples of how to overcome challenges. For anyone else, it offers a penetrating portrait of the lives of those committed to changing the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission driven—business as a vehicle for change. The current business-for-profit model rewards short-term thinking, narrow self-interest, and a social-and-environmental-costs-be-damned attitude.

Social enterprise is an exciting, blended model driven by the desire to create positive change through entrepreneurial activities. The Art of Social Enterprise is a practical guide which supplies everything you need to know about the mechanics of social entrepreneurship including: Startup – envisioning and manifesting intention Strategic planning – balancing social and monetary value Maintaining an even keel despite the inevitable challenges associated with being an entrepreneur. This valuable resource also provides an unparalleled legal perspective to help you take advantage of established legal organizational forms, recent statutory creations, contract hybrids, certification programs and more. Aimed at emerging as well as established social entrepreneurs, for-profit leaders who want to introduce an element of social responsibility into their companies, and non-profit organizations who want to increase their stability by generating income, The Art of Social Enterprise is the definitive guide to doing well while doing good.

Book Synopsis Scaling Your Social Venture by : Paul N. Bloom
Download or read book Scaling Your Social Venture written by Paul N. Bloom and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of social entrepreneurship continues to grow by leaps and bounds as innovative entrepreneurs find new ways to create a positive social impact on their community. More often than not these ventures find it difficult to expand their initial concepts into new environments. As funding for social programs on a government level tightens, the ability for social programs to broaden and deepen their impact while maintaining financial stability has never been more important. This goal is only achievable when good intentions are combined with comprehensive analysis and planning that takes all aspects of a venture's ecosystem into consideration. Paul N. Bloom, a professor of social entrepreneurship at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, explores the key components that any social entrepreneur needs to consider when approaching the challenge of scaling. Here Bloom explains the SCALERS model, which stresses that successful scaling requires organizational capabilities in seven areas: staffing, communicating, alliance-building, lobbying, earningsgeneration, replicating, and stimulating market forces. Rich with numerous examples of social entities that have developed these capabilities, Scaling Your Social Venture provides the tools to help social entrepreneurs take their venture to the next level.
Book Synopsis Resumen Da Cero A Uno Por Peter Thiel ( Zero to One Spanish Summary) by : Thomas Francisco
Download or read book Resumen Da Cero A Uno Por Peter Thiel ( Zero to One Spanish Summary) written by Thomas Francisco and published by BookSummaryGr. This book was released on 2023-07-22 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resumen Da Cero A Uno Por Peter Thiel "De Cero a Uno", un libro que ofrece consejos perspicaces para startups, es en esencia una recopilación de una serie de conferencias impartidas por Peter Thiel, cofundador de PayPal, en la Universidad de Stanford en 2012. Uno de sus estudiantes, Blake Masters, tuvo la visión de publicar notas de las conferencias en su propio blog, lo cual recibió una amplia atención. Thiel, un empresario abierto y cautivador, reconoció una oportunidad y, con Masters a su lado como coautor, reunió las conferencias antes de desarrollarlas en un libro coherente y estructurado. El resultado es un texto que se ha convertido en lectura esencial para cualquiera que desee iniciar su propio negocio. Peter Thiel es un multimillonario autodidacta que ha estado involucrado en numerosos negocios en algún grado. También es un autoproclamado nerd que, junto con otros "outsiders", fundó PayPal a finales de los años noventa, aprovechando la ola de la burbuja de las puntocom. Thiel y su equipo se hicieron conocidos como la Mafia de PayPal. Aunque parecían improbables como propietarios de negocios, eran personas dedicadas y meticulosas. Sobre todo, eran personas abiertas, amigables y divertidas que prosperaron en la atmósfera creada en Silicon Valley. Es este sentido de diversión y apertura el que se refleja en "De Cero a Uno", pero este es un libro que se enriquece con una perspectiva fresca y muy seria sobre ideas supuestamente concretas. A lo largo del libro, Thiel sostiene que las ideas que damos por sentado en los negocios deben ser desafiadas. Cuestiona la idea de que los monopolios son siempre malos. Minimiza las ventajas de la competencia y afirma que es lo que hace que los negocios se estanquen. Además, desmantela otros dogmas, ya que Thiel parte de la premisa de que cuanto más inusual y diferente sea el fundador, mejores serán los resultados a largo plazo. Siendo un ser humano altamente intelectual, Thiel simplifica su marco filosófico personal para que todos entendamos que un futuro "definitivamente optimista" es aquel en el que un negocio dedica todos sus esfuerzos a crear algo completamente nuevo, en lugar de simplemente modificar un producto existente.
Book Synopsis Asia's Social Entrepreneurs by : Howard Thomas
Download or read book Asia's Social Entrepreneurs written by Howard Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-10 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social enterprises of all forms drive inclusive growth by creating social and economic networks, and a stable ecosystem, that enable societies to grow and prosper. This book presents a collection of ten case studies that demonstrate the important role played by social enterprises in driving inclusive growth in Asia’s economies. Unlike the traditional models, such as NGOs and charities, that are donor dependent for funding, a social enterprise is a hybrid business model that includes both social mission and revenue generation goals to ensure sustainability and self-reliance. The ten case studies in the book provide a ringside view of how social enterprises operate and evolve to create, sustain, and scale up their social impact. Readers will gain a practical understanding of how social entrepreneurs struggle to maintain a balance between their two seemingly contradictory goals of creating social value and generating economic returns. The book carries the readers on the journey of each of these ten social enterprises, offering unique and valuable insights into the motivations, tribulations, successes, and even failures of these organisations—critical for continued learning, contribution, and innovation in the domain. The book is appropriate for all readers interested in the role social entrepreneurship plays in stimulating economic growth in Asia, including organisations, government, and universities, as well as individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unfinished Social Entrepreneur is about powering up your social justice career. The world feels so screwed up, so unfair, so unnecessarily mean, so Trumpian. More than ever, the world needs you. This book is a book of conviction about the unfinished work of social justice. According to Lewis: "The crusty work of social entrepreneurship is as much fun as I'm permitted to have in public. It's joyous, fulfilling and happy-making. Tackling big challenges is heady stuff. Fighting the good fight is utterly gratifying." The Unfinished Social Entrepreneur is a compendium of 21 original essays and insights - part memoir, part handbook - about the challenges and questions every social entrepreneur thinks about. For the novice changemaker, each chapter bristles with provocative tips and tools to transform your social justice career. Because social entrepreneurship is not called solo entrepreneurship, the book also contains 19 additional commentaries by other change-makers. Social entrepreneurs are a club of conscience. Sign up. Show up. Stand up. All book profits donated to social justice causes.

Book Synopsis A World of Three Zeros by : Muhammad Yunus
Download or read book A World of Three Zeros written by Muhammad Yunus and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of Banker to the Poor offers his vision of an emerging new economic system that can save humankind and the planet Muhammad Yunus, who created microcredit, invented social business, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken -- that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest. Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousands of people and organizations have already embraced Yunus's vision of a new form of capitalism, launching innovative social businesses designed to serve human needs rather than accumulate wealth. They are bringing solar energy to millions of homes in Bangladesh; turning thousands of unemployed young people into entrepreneurs through equity investments; financing female-owned businesses in cities across the United States; bringing mobility, shelter, and other services to the rural poor in France; and creating a global support network to help young entrepreneurs launch their start-ups. In A World of Three Zeros, Yunus describes the new civilization emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire. He explains how global companies like McCain, Renault, Essilor, and Danone got involved with this new economic model through their own social action groups, describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses, and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jumpstart the next wave of socially driven innovations. And he invites young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens to join the movement and help create the better world we all dream of.
Book Synopsis Squaring the Blockchain Circle by : Kunal Nandwani
Download or read book Squaring the Blockchain Circle written by Kunal Nandwani and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hype-fog surrounding the blockchain and its offspring crypto currencies is peaking, and this book slices through it. Is the blockchain revolutionary in scope? Absolutely. Will it all play out in line with the investment dollars? Not at all. Squaring the Blockchain Circle critiques the blockchain ecosystem.ICOs have resulted in some twenty billion dollars flowing into projects even as bubble indicators flash red. Bitcoin has the Midas touch. But there's manifest blindness elsewhere, and Kunal decimates most half-baked, misconceived blockchain applications attracting funding. The book highlights that very few tokens will deliver lasting value as the next Google or Amazon, and there will be a crash before things normalise. As the co-founder and CEO of uTrade and Hashcove, Kunal has been a part of the euphoria surrounding this technology, as well as a student of its superb prowess.Divided into three parts, Part I of the book narrates the origin of the blockchain culminating in the ICO boom. The second discusses four specific aspects - decentralisation, trust and truth, security and scalability.Part III exposes the fallacy of viewing every database as a nail for the blockchain hammer, debates the value embedded in tokens, their mispricing and susceptibility to fraud and finally highlights the blockchain as futuristic technology.If this book succeeds in engrossing you in an unfolding vision with your feet planted firmly on the ground, the blockchain circle will stand squared.

Book Synopsis Let's Build a Company by : Harpreet Grover
Download or read book Let's Build a Company written by Harpreet Grover and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harpreet Grover and Vibhore Goyal met in college and then spent the next decade of their lives building a company before exiting successfully. One way to tell their story is this: they had a dream, they followed it and, then, through perseverance, they made it come true. But that's not really the truth. Like everything in life-at least everything worth having-it wasn't that simple. There was blood, sweat and tears, there was loss of capital, loss of friendship and even a loss of faith along the way. It started with a phone call from Harpreet's mother introducing him to an uncle who wanted some help. Or maybe it started when Vibhore and Harpreet met as roommates in Room 143 at IIT Bombay. What remains true is that soon both had quit their jobs and launched CoCubes. From no money in their bank accounts for eight years after graduating to becoming dollar millionaires two years later in 2016, this is a tale of grit-of a company built in India by two Indian-middle-class-twenty-somethings-turned-entrepreneurs-written in the hope that you can avoid the mistakes they made and learn from what they did right. This is that story-the story that you don't always hear. But if you want to be an entrepreneur, and you prefer straight talk to sugar-coating, it's one you should read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers unique and novel views on the social innovation landscape, tools, practices, pedagogies, and research in the context of higher education.

It answers the question ‘how does the present higher education system, in different countries, promote social innovation and create social change and impact’. In answering this question, the book identifies factors driving success as well as obstacles. Furthermore, it examines how higher education innovation assists societal challenges and investigates the benefits of effective social innovation engagement by HEIs. The interdisciplinary approach of the volume makes it a must-read for scholars, students, policy-makers, and practitioners of economics, education, business and management, political science, and sociology interested in a better understanding of social innovation.
