Abstract

This chapter reviews some of the most well-known social business cases as well as social business literature, complemented with qualitative interviews with social business entrepreneurs and practitioners to identify common challenges, risks and opportunities from a management and financial perspective. An analysis of that literature and these interviews allows us to identify issues faced by social business practitioners that are not unique to them, along with others arising from the very concept of the social nature of their ventures.
