Drawing on survey findings and interviews, the book explores a diverse group of social enterprises from across Canada, showcasing their successes and their challenges based on real-life examples to aid social enterprises that are considering this path. The book emphasizes the importance of including social and environmental considerations in procurement and purchasing decisions, particularly at larger scales and through public policy. In doing so, Selling Social extends the understanding of social enterprises beyond their social and economic outcomes and into the broader movement towards responsible procurement and purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Sumner\u003c\/b\u003e teaches in the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education and is coordinator of the Adult Education and Community Development Program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAndrea Chan\u003c\/b\u003e is a research associate at the Troost Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering at the University of Toronto. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnnie Luk\u003c\/b\u003e is a sessional instructor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJack Quarter\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.9 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44504182194311,"sku":"9781487524500","price":59.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/RhYQZJHxyR9781487524500.webp?v=1776685598","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/selling-social-procurement-purchasing-and-social-enterprises-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
