Social Entrepreneurship Strategies and Social Sector Sustainability

This book examines the social entrepreneurship strategies of nonprofit organizations (NPOs), with a focus on the Caribbean social sector. In addressing the conceptual ambiguities from an academic and experiential perspective, it aims to provide a much-needed reflection on social entrepreneurship (SE), including in developing contexts. Through a comparative analysis of the experiences of NPOs from the Caribbean, the authors demonstrate the applicability of SE for NPO sustainability and as an opportunity for social sector performance improvement. Blending both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this work is a useful base for researchers wanting to advance the mission of theory and methodological development toward maturing the field of social entrepreneurship.

First detailed study of social entrepreneurship strategies in the Caribbean, with application to developing contexts Addresses the differences between the social activist and the social entrepreneur, and social entrepreneurship and CSR Explores how NPOs can attain long-term sustainability beyond grant funding and in the context of the SDGs
