About this title

Synopsis

Social entrepreneurship is an idea that has awakened much interest in recent decades, because it is based on different approaches of classical economic understanding. This concept brings a note of humanity and altruism in the logic of modern business, and contributes to the promotion of moral and ethical standards and practices. Initiatives of social entrepreneurship are always associated with humane ideas, aiming at the general social well-being, as opposed to traditional entrepreneurship, in which the profit is the primary goal and the main measure of success. A significant number of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina is strongly affected by social exclusion. Among the most excluded are young people, persons with disabilities and Roma. This book provides insight into approaches and concepts of social entrepreneurship and possible ways of overcoming social exclusion through social entrepreneurship. Based on primary and secondary research are defined and presented proposals for specific programs for the development of social entrepreneurship which may be useful to researchers, practitioners and others interested in this field.
