In addition to addressing social issues while being profitable, social enterprises are also essential tools for communities to build enduring peace. Peacebuilding is characterized by a persistent openness to use conflict resolution mechanisms and to consider different options which address the root causes of community conflict. Drawing on their schooling and extensive experience in Africa and North America, the authors provide leaders and managers of these enterprises with practices and tools derived from concepts such as Holism, Ubuntu, Systems Thinking, the S-Curve, the Triple Bottom Line, the Six Capitals, and Peacebuilding. They use these concepts to describe how social enterprises are organized, governed, managed, and financed and how they approach their marketing, operations, human resources, planning and risk management. Readers are encouraged to adopt these insights and tools as they build and operate sustainable social enterprises which deliver valued products and social impact in an environmentally responsible manner. Written for aspiring and current social entrepreneurs, board members, executive managers, business, religious and philanthropic leaders, Social Enterprise as Peacebuilding will appeal to audiences in South Africa, the United States, and beyond.
