Wharton professor Ian C. MacMillan and Dr. James D. Thompson, director of the Wharton Social Enterprise Program, provide aspiring social entrepreneurs with critical frameworks and tools to start their ventures with minimum risk and maximum potential for impact.
Filled with inspiring stories, The Social Entrepreneur’s Playbook is a must-read for entrepreneurs, philanthropists, foundations, and nonprofits interested in doing more with less.
Why Is This Ebook Free?
MacMillan and Thompson have developed a proven method for testing, launching, and scaling a social enterprise, which systematically reduces uncertainty ahead of major resource commitments. Rather than rushing to publish a book about the three-phase method, the authors are distributing the first phase as a free ebook. They are inviting readers to help them shape the Fall 2013 expanded edition, which will cover all three phases of testing, launching, and scaling a social enterprise.
