Dennis R. Young, Emeritus Professor, Case Western Reserve University and Georgia State University, US

'Dennis Young has written a brilliant analysis of the complex domain of Social Purpose Organizations (SPOs), the growing number of financial tools at their disposal, in a system that requires them to strike a balance between their social mission and their financial stability, within a context of volatile economic, political and technological environments. His choice of the Benefits Theory helps put all those components into a meaningful whole. The book is especially timely in light of the recent international interest in social enterprises and other for-profit frameworks' involvement in the social domain and will be highly valuable for both academics and practitioners.'--Benjamin Gidron, College of Management Academic Studies (COMAS), Israel
