As we move toward the third decade of the 21st century, innovative enterprises seeking to solve critical social and environmental issues are becoming integral to the modern economy. Organizations – from private companies to nongovernmental organizations – are increasingly focusing on the needs of local communities, society and the environment, not simply as an add-ons to their businesses but as integral goals of their business model. Terms like social economy, corporate social responsibility and social entrepreneurship are becoming a part of our daily lexicon and discussed regularly in forums addressing civil society, politics, education and business practices.
