Scaling Your Social Venture - 9780230377288

Scaling success requires enormously disciplined research, hard work, and creativity. Most ventures, both profit and non-profit, fail. And that is because the entrepreneur is not prepared to take the organization to the next level. In Scaling Your Social Venture, author Paul N. Bloom from Duke University's Center for Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship, addresses the important basic questions: When does it make sense to try to scale a social entrepreneurial venture? What should the scaling-seeking social entrepreneur try to understand about the ecosystem in which he or she operates? What stepscan be taken to assess the organization's unique situation and interpret what that situation implies for determining the most effective strategies for scaling impact? Bloom has created a unique model for understanding an organization's readiness to scale, stressing how capabilities are needed in: Staffing, Communicating, Alliance-Building, Lobbying, Earnings-Generation, Replicating, and Stimulating Market Forces. In today's volatile economic environment, being prepared is critical to success and Paul Bloom can provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge to assess, plan for, and accomplish lasting impact in the field of social entrepreneurship.
