Getting Beyond Better: How Social Entrepreneurship Works
In this compelling book, Roger Martin and Sally Osberg describe how social entrepreneurs target systems that exist in a stable but unjust equilibrium and transform them into entirely new, superior, and sustainable equilibria. These leaders develop, build, and scale their solutions in ways that bring about the truly revolutionary change that makes the world a fairer and better place.
Getting Beyond Better demonstrates how and why meaningful change actually happens in the world and provides concrete lessons and a practical model for businesses, policymakers, civil society organizations, and individuals who seek to transform our world for good.
