商品描述

Muhammad Yunus, the practical visionary who pioneered microcredit and, with his Grameen Bank, won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, has developed a visionary new dimension for capitalism which he calls “social business.” By harnessing the energy of profit-making to the objective of fulfilling human needs, social business creates self-supporting, viable commercial enterprises that generate economic growth even as they produce goods and services that make the world a better place.

In this book, Yunus shows how social business has gone from being a theory to an inspiring practice, adopted by leading corporations, entrepreneurs, and social activists across Asia, South America, Europe and the US. He demonstrates how social business transforms lives; offers practical guidance for those who want to create social businesses of their own; explains how public and corporate policies must adapt to make room for the social business model; and shows why social business holds the potential to redeem the failed promise of free-market enterprise.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

Muhammad Yunus 是一位務實的理想家,他開創了小額信貸(microcredit),並憑藉 Grameen Bank 榮獲 2006 年諾貝爾和平獎。他為資本主義發展出一個嶄新的理想面向,稱之為「社會企業(social business)」。社會企業將營利活動的能量導向滿足人類需求的目標,創造出能夠自給自足、持續營運的商業企業;這些企業在提供讓世界變得更美好的商品與服務之際,也能帶動經濟成長。

在本書中,Yunus 展示了社會企業如何從一套理論發展成鼓舞人心的實務,並受到亞洲、南美洲、歐洲及美國各地的領先企業、企業家與社會運動者採用。他說明社會企業如何改變人們的生活;為希望創立自身社會企業的人提供實務指引;解釋公共政策與企業政策必須如何調整,才能為社會企業模式騰出發展空間;並揭示社會企業為何有潛力挽救自由市場企業制度未能實現的承諾。
