The Social Entrepreneurial Approach
Social entrepreneurship describes the process of creatively thinking about systemic problems, and strategically developing and implementing innovative sustainable solutions. This approach utilizes the best of entrepreneurial thinking and market-based methods to generate tangible social value and promote freer, healthier, more just societies around the world.
In the words of Bill Drayton, the founder of the Ashoka Foundation:
"Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry."
