A more proactive role for business in sustainable development is especially pertinent in sub-Saharan Africa, which has been plagued by conflict and poverty but shows signs of a brighter future as the world?s second-fastest-growing region. This book contributes to the growing body of scholarly work on social and environmental innovation with the two-fold aim of studying the role of business in creating such innovation and focusing the analysis to the African context. To cover the various terrains of social and environmental innovation, this book contains novel empirical cases looking at social or environmental enterprises, social intrapreneurship and innovation in incumbent businesses, and social innovation through cross-sector collaboration. The final part of the book focuses on the implications for academics, exploring the role of universities and business schools in social innovation. 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aEconomic sociology 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEducation 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEducation, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O00000 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aEconomic sociology. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEducation. 615 14$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEducation, general. 676 $a306.3 676 $a330 676 $a338.927 676 $a370 702 $aBitzer$b Verena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHamann$b Ralph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHall$b Martin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGriffin-EL$b Eliada Wosu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298494803321 996 $aThe Business of Social and Environmental Innovation$92519401 997 $aUNINA
