Chapter 14 in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, 2020, pp 471-509 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the emerging field of social entrepreneurship and innovation, with a specific focus on co-operative enterprise as a distinct business model. While entrepreneurship has been viewed as a process of self-directed, individualistic and profit maximising opportunism, the reality is that many entrepreneurs and innovators are not totally focused on personal wealth creation. Money is just a necessary tool that can be used to purchase assets with which to develop new products or services and deliver value to customers.
