Synopsis

Exceeds maximum length of 2000 characters; "This book was written with great passion by Professor Melodena Stephens, and provides a comprehensive view on Businesses for Purpose. With the world today facing complex challenges, social entrepreneurs have been tackling these head on whilst addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In this book, you will find a variety of exciting cases that will inspire you. It will help you navigate your way in this ecosystem in order to create a positive impact in the world." Sheikha Shamma Bint Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan CEO and Founder Alliances for Global Sustainability, UAE "Melodena's traits for successful social entrepreneurs — passion, perseverance, purpose, plan, people, path — greatly resonate her own personality, which led to produce this masterpiece: Business with Purpose. A great effort and resource capturing the true examples and values of social entrepreneurship, public-private partnership and innovation. This book is a classic case of encompassing global landscape and challenges, highlighting ground realities and showcasing successes — from across the markets as well as key issues — to propose innovative solutions for a sustainable world. Melodena has read the pulse well and convincingly captured the need for innovations and innovative financing, engagement of the public sector and the entrepreneurial mind-set to resolve international humanitarian aid and development challenges in order to achieve the SDGs. Are Social Enterprises the new norm/future and problem solvers for a developed, thriving and sustainable world? Or NGOs have to change the way they operate? Readers have abundant material and varied examples to ascertain successful mechanisms for better and sustainable international humanitarian aid and development. Finally, Melodena's deep understanding and simple narration of how social enterprises are envisaged, set up, governed, managed, run, with example from various sectors, is super authentic. She also gave justice to her work through clearly reminding the challenges, risks and failures social entrepreneurs face. This honesty, with facts and figures, makes it a great source to anyone who is willing to pick up even a loose chance or idea and drop a very strong impact on humanity. Questions at the end of each chapter are great re-cap and rethink source."
