Boken presenterer ny teori om sosialt entreprenørskap. Sosialentreprenørene, de som endrer verden, kan deles inn i fem kategorier etter den individuelle betydning hver enkelte har som endringsagent. De systematiseres i form av en pyramide: Sosialentreprenør-pyramiden. Analysen av eksisterende sosialt entreprenørskap i Skandinavia understreker betydningen av individenes direkte deltakelse i beslutningprosessen, noe som gir større rettferdighet og minsket avhengiget.

THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PYRAMID With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship Jan-U. Sandal ISBN 978-91-633-6459-4

PRAISE FOR Dr. Jan-U. Sandal`s The Social Entrepreneur Pyramid: With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship “Dr. Sandal’s analysis of existing social entrepreneurship in Scandinavia emphasizes it is not a movement confined to exploiting sporadic, temporary and extremely popular goods and services as a link in the chain of the welfare state’s expanded social system. Instead, social entrepreneurship is a phenomenon representing as far as is possible a renewal and revitalisation of the democratic system itself. This condition is admirably displayed in both educational and analytical terms in Dr. Sandal’s book. I have no doubt THE SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PYRAMID: With a Nordic Perspective on Social Entrepreneurship will be recognized as a major contribution helping people the world over understand the democratic potential of social entrepreneurship. I am very happy Dr. Sandal has written this compelling and important work.” Jerr Boschee Founder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs Interim President and CEO, Social Enterprise Alliance.
