Can business change the world? Can the world change business? For
a new breed of social entrepreneurs, striving to build and grow
enterprises that fight social ills, foster opportunity, and help to
improve society, the answer is not can, it's must. Impassioned by
purpose, driven by dreams, emboldened by ideals, social entrepreneurs
imagine a better way to a better world. And then they go out of their
way to bring it to life. In the process, they shake the dust off old
ways of thinking and disrupt the way business has always been done. In
this book, brought to you by GIBS, a leading business school based in
Johannesburg, South Africa, you'll get to meet The Disruptors. Through
these tales of daring, struggle, triumph and innovation, you'll see the
world through the eyes of a diverse range of social entrepreneurs, and
learn their secrets for changing the world by changing business. From
healthcare to mobile gaming, from education to recycling, from dancing
to gardening, these are the game-changers, the difference-makers, the
doers of good. Here are their stories.
