SummarySummary

Entrepreneurship has often been cited as the engine of economic growth.

Today, economic growth is still necessary, but no longer sufficient.

Social entrepreneurship is the engine of positive, systemic change that

will alter what we do, how we do it, and why it matters.

(Neck et al., 2008, p. 6)
