Produktbeschreibung

"This book is a call to action for addressing problems like climate change, clean energy, and healthcare access on a grand scale, leveraging an ecosystem of public/government resources and private sector, technology-focused organizations. Chapters are framed around cases and profiles from over 20 ventures across technology, healthcare, climate, and education. The authors construct a model for impact, on that starts with rebuilding trust among society, business, and government. Renewed trust in government will rally groups behind a guiding mission; trust in business will facilitate more effective tri-sectoral collaborations; and trust in civil society will bring talented changemakers into mission-driven work. The authors also identify key uncertainties that could deteriorate trust between ventures and the government, and then highlight strategies from entrepreneurs to bridge a trust gap"--
