'Creating Good Work' by Ron Schultz Expands the Conversation
Tiana Reid — March 31, 2013 — Social Good
'Creating Good Work: The World’s Leading Social Entrepreneurs Show How to Build a Healthy Economy,' edited by Ron Schult and including a foreword by the President of Echoing Green, Cheryl L. Dorsey, was released in February of this year and has gained further traction since then (Jim Fruchterman recently wrote a blog post about it for CSR Wire).
As an anthology, Creating Good Work is part of a growing breadth of academic and non-academic work on social entrepreneurship. Some of the chapters are those that seem simple or straightforward for the social business veteran -- "Understanding Social Enterprise" by Jeff Trexler or "Measuring the Impact of Social Entrepreneurship" by R. Paul Herman -- but the nuance is what makes the book.
