Om den här e-boken

Dr. Chandra and colleagues should be congratulated on these professionally produced graphic novels, which convey complex ideas in a clear and accessible format. As well as bringing the stories of social entrepreneurs to a wider audience, they can serve as a heuristic device to inspire wider discussions in the classroom. I plan to use them in my own teaching, and would urge you to do the same.

Dr. Yanto Chandra and his team bring social entrepreneurship to life through innovative comics that combine storytelling with educative moments in a very accessible way. The resulting discussions will certainly be spirited and make a difference in our lives.

This creative trio of comics are a timely addition to the teaching and learning tool kit for social entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability. With their talented illustrations and charming narrative, the comics unobtrusively weave in and reinforce important concepts and theories on the subject. Their user-friendly visual narratives that simply contextualize the complexity of social challenges, makes them a powerful tool for engaging students and enhancing their learning experience. They provide valuable context-centric perspectives to enable more insightful analysis on finding collaborative solutions to social challenges and building a sustainable world. I highly recommend this entertaining resource not only for students and teachers but also policy-makers who want to speedily come to grips with some basics of social entrepreneurship, social innovation and environmental conservation.

These comics are a timely and novel contribution to social entrepreneurship, and specifically, to demonstrate how scholars can offer unconventional approaches in narrating social issues and their solutions through social entrepreneurship. The authors not only unpacked the “how” of day-to-day social entrepreneurship, but also the “why” of value co-creation and stakeholder participation. These comics are a must-read for anyone interested in and are practicing social entrepreneurship. I welcome these wonderful works of creative scholarship as a vital new addition to our understanding of social entrepreneurship as a practice and theory.
