Reviewer 725763
This is a short but focused book about starting a business with the objective of doing social good. It starts with theory and ends with specific recommendations. There are parts of the book that may not be applicable to every business person (for instance, if you're a sole proprietorship, you probably won't benefit from the sections on hiring or employee benefits). Still, it's good information in the areas about which the author has personal expertise.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.
