The Making of Impact Entrepreneurship

This chapter concludes by summarizing the argument presented in the book, before taking up the idea that impact emerges iteratively from a process of social engagement and negotiation. As the title makes clear, this book is about impact entrepreneurship. However, many books could be written about this topic, each with specific audiences in mind. I did not write this book just for entrepreneurship scholars. I like to think that Impact Work might interest social scientists in general. I also hope that the book might interest a broader audience of impact aficionados interested in discovering the dynamics underlying the production of impact work by examining the backstage of this production world. This book is not about prescriptive practical recommendations or general theory. Instead, it is about the lived experience of impact work by a group of passionate people.
