The Disruptors 2: How Social Entrepreneurs Lead and Manage Disruption

Following the success of 2016's The Disruptors comes the next book on social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Interest in the social enterprise movement by the formal business sector is growing, as social entrepreneurs often operate in highly complex and constrained environments and offer corporates and other businesses the opportunity to learn new ways of managing and leading. Meet the next crop of Disruptors: social entrepreneurs navigating the tensions between value and legality, profit and purpose, marketing and delivery, stakeholders and funders - constantly reinventing themselves and their organisations in the face of ever-shifting socio-economic contexts. Ten case studies focus on the people and organisations leading change in South Africa - these are their stories.
