Pressezitat
"This collection of essays by various Stanford leading lights and giants in the social impact investing field is a 'must read' for those in the impact investing space." - Impact InvestorAdvance Praise for Frontiers in Social Innovation:
"Frontiers in Social Innovation arrives just in time as we confront the challenges facing a world recovering from the pandemic. This comprehensive, solutions-focused collection addresses the critical themes that leaders in all fields must tackle-whether they're social entrepreneurs, impact investors, nonprofit leaders, or corporate executives-as they pursue opportunities to shape innovations that will benefit society." - Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation
"As leaders from all backgrounds set out to tackle the myriad of complex challenges facing society, it is essential that we think critically about the trends and opportunities that social innovation provides. This book does so powerfully, through chapters written not only by some of the social impact field's leading scholars but also by the growing roster of stakeholders and practitioners from across sectors looking to drive social change. A go-to resource for seasoned entrepreneurs and aspiring change makers alike." - Jacqueline Novogratz, founder and CEO, Acumen
"With change (and interconnection) both escalating exponentially, big-scale social change making must grow even faster. Social sector employment is already one-third bigger than all of government, and it is the fastest-growing part of society. This remarkable book wrestles thoughtfully and clearly with how this giant effort can best be designed and sustained." - Bill Drayton, founder and CEO, Ashoka
"Essential reading, full of valuable insights and experiences for social innovators aspiring to achieve real change." - Sir Ronald Cohen, Chairman, Global Steering Group, Impact Investment
