I believe both would make for inspiring reading for undergraduate students and academic scholars alike.' -- Satu Aaltonen, International Small Business Journal 'The aim of the 'social entrepreneurship', 'social innovation' and 'sustainable entrepreneurship' is to create waves of change that would influence. . . the way non-profit enterprises, public services and businesses are delivered.
