    摘要、提要註: While social entrepreneurship continues to grow by leaps and bounds over the last decade, practitioners have begun to realize that no one model can be used for every type of social venture. Be it a start-up for enhancing the educational opportunities a community has access to or a program to address the sustainability of a region's environment, each type of social venture comes with its own hardships and pitfalls on its path to creating a better tomorrow. Creating Good Work is a practical resource that goes beyond storytelling. It is a rich guide book recounts the stories of some of the most successful social entrepreneurial programs operating today, with real life examples of and how they overcame both physical and societal barriers to create a lasting impact on the world they encounter. Including contributions from leading names at such social ventures as Benetech, Brac-USA, KivaRoot Capital, Skoll Foundation, 7th Generation, and YouthBuild, many of whom have been recognized by organizations like the Skoll Foundation and Ashoka: Innovators for the Public as being among the world's best. The lessons these leaders share contained in this volume are an asset to any social entrepreneur looking for new and innovative ways to have a positive impact on change the world around them, be they at their initial concept phase or a successful venture looking to expand their sphere of influence.
