Social entrepreneurship and management tools. Insights and emerging issues on value sharing among firms and public organizations

This volume analyzes social entrepreneurship and managerial tools to support the process of economic and social value creation and its dissemination from local to global. Particular attention is given to the interaction among social entrepreneur and stakeholders who participate in the process. Among these, the study highlights the interplay between for-profit social entrepreneur and public administrations, which are typically non-profit organizations and underlines the managerial implications deriving from public organizations' engagement. Starting from the strategic, managerial and social accountability perspectives, interesting issues emerge on measuring social value, applying transparency for social and local development, and on the importance of ethics for the success of the social entrepreneurial initiative.
