About this audiobook

The one book every innovator and every entrepreneur needs to make a difference in the world.



Social innovation and entrepreneurship are rising forces in the world. As stakeholder capitalism takes root, and as the extent of systemic challenges becomes clear—from climate change to income inequality to food security to healthcare and beyond—more and more of the best and brightest will hear the calling to become innovators and entrepreneurs who develop and deploy solutions to the world's thorniest problems.



A diverse group of people—ranging from students to seasoned executives—have become increasingly interested in social innovation as means to leverage organizations to solve social problems. But it's not easy. They will need a handbook to guide them on the journey to changing the world. Frontiers in Social Innovation is their essential volume for becoming a difference maker.



Filled with contributions from the smartest thinkers and most experienced practitioners, Frontiers in Social Innovation provides the knowledge you need to succeed as a social innovator. It covers the waterfront from philanthropy to social entrepreneurship to impact investing, and then brings to life the challenges and opportunities through case studies.



No stone is left unturned in this indispensable volume for anyone who wants to make a difference in the world through innovation and entrepreneurship.
