This volume – part of a series on methods and issues in social innovation – focuses on how to establish and grow a social venture.
This report is the result of collaboration between Nesta and the Young Foundation. It provides a set of accounts of how social innovation actually happens, and is a guide that should help to produce a stronger, more informed approach to social innovation. Social ventures and their capacity to innovate and integrate are needed as central players in the 21st century economy. But how do they work? What are their key ingredients? What is it that they are able to do that 20th century organisations find so difficult? What goes on beneath the surface of their success? This publication looks at these issues to understand what makes a successful social venture. [Author's abstract].
