Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.In the last two decades social entrepreneurship has grown in energy and impact as entrepreneurial spirit has increasingly turned to finding solutions for social, cultural and environmental issues. As social entrepreneurship has grown in popularity, so too has its academic study. A Research Agenda for Social Entrepreneurship brings together contributions from developing paths in the field to signpost the directions ahead for the study of social entrepreneurship.Moving beyond mainstream approaches to entrepreneurship, this innovative and insightful book offers a unique view into the contemporary state of social entrepreneurship research. Impressive and diverse, this book explores not only established research, but also draws out implications for social entrepreneurship from legal scholarship, gender studies and indigenous research, as well as investigating regional contexts. Moreover, the contributors take inspiration from emerging societal trends, such as the circular economy and the turn of entrepreneurship to ecology and the environment.Featuring diverse insights from different disciplinary and geographical perspectives, this book is invaluable to students of social entrepreneurship at all levels who are in need of a broad and cutting-edge overview of the topics. Researchers seeking original research topics and questions will benefit from this book's insight into the future of the subject. The accessible style will also serve social entrepreneurs themselves, offering a fascinating exploration of the many pathways for social entrepreneurship.Contributors: G. Alarifi, A. Brady, D.

Recensioner i media

'De Bruin and Teasdale guide us through the range of developments in the field and insightfully signal further areas of research to build a cumulative body of understanding on social entrepreneurship. The editors take us on an enjoyable journey, skilfully bringing together different disciplinary and methodological approaches from a diverse range of contributors. Highly relevant and recommended volume for all those with an interest not only in social entrepreneurship but also social innovation. A must read.'--Alex Nicholls, University of Oxford, UK'In a field that is constantly evolving, this volume is a great guide for students and practitioners of social entrepreneurship. Not only will it guide you through the territory of this relatively new field but it will also stimulate you with its possibilities. This is a must-read for any student and/or practitioner of social enterprise.'--Ana Maria Peredo, University of Victoria, Canada'Many articles in the field of social entrepreneurship are limited by their pursuit of absolute definitions. This Research Agenda expands the research possibilities for the field, drawing on new perspectives - from public health and development studies, to intersectionality and the law - to shed light on this ever-changing phenomenon.'--Candida Brush, Babson College, US
