Deloitte defines social enterprise as : "An organization whose mission combines revenue growth and profit-making with the need to respect and support its environment and stakeholder network. This includes listening to, investing in and actively managing the trends that are shaping today's world. It is an organization that shoulders its responsibility to be a good citizen, serving as a role model for its peers, and promoting a high degree of collaboration at every level of the organization."

Below are recommended books that dive into the concept of social enterprises and provide background information on how they are formed, funded, and managed.
