If you are a budding social entrepreneur then this guide will be invaluable in providing an introduction to the many different forms of social enterprise. ‘Social Enterprise in the Third Sector’ examines how social enterprises build organisational capacity and associational behaviour that has positive effects on societal development. The different types of social enterprises, including co-operatives, social firms and development trusts are investigated, and case studies help to bring theory to life. It is becoming increasingly difficult to separate social issues from economic ones; the requirement to increase competitiveness and productivity need not conflict with issues such as social inclusion. Social Enterprise in the Third Sector is an excellent ‘next-step’ after social entrepreneurs have focussed on developing viable business strategies; once the objectives are clear it will then be possible to adopt the appropriate structure from the options presented in this guide.
