 Book Review Christian Seelos and Johanna Mair: Innovation and Scaling for Impact. How Effective Social Enterprises Do ItAndrew Brady ()
Journal of Entrepreneurial and Organizational Diversity, 2018, vol. 7, issue 1, 111-113 Abstract: With Innovation and Scaling for Impact: How Effective Social Enterprises Do It, Christian Seelos and Johanna Mair offer an insightful and theory-rich contribution to the academic literature on this topic, based on their work with social enterprises over a decade or more. In particular, they explore the history of innovation and scaling in four organisations based in India and Bangladesh, each of which is used to shed light on a particular approach to the process. The four case studies of these organisations form the central core of Seelos and Mair’s book, sandwiched between a theoretical introduction, and a guide to practical actions for organisations and their supporters. Among other academic recognitions, it is worth to mention that the book received the 2017 Terry McAdam Nonprofit Book Award, sponsored by the Alliance for Nonprofit Management, for being the most inspirational and useful contribution to non-profit management of the year.
