In 13 chapters, entrepreneurship, economics, business, philanthropy, public policy, and other researchers from the US, Nigeria, China, and Europe consider the involvement of entrepreneurs in
philanthropy. They examine the meaning and social benefits of entrepreneurship and philanthropy, the shared traits of the primary actors, policy guidelines, and the potential impact of
entrepreneurs who engage in philanthropy at the local level; different groups of entrepreneurs in philanthropy (women, African Americans, multi-generation family companies, and high-tech
entrepreneurs engaged in impact philanthropy) and their motivations, strategies, challenges, and experiences; international perspectives and social, historical, cultural, and political aspects
in Europe, China, Africa, and the US; and case studies of two American entrepreneurs: Ewing Marion Kauffman and Mario Marino. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
