Highlighting the motivations of B Corp entrepreneurs in Chile this book explores the
phenomenon behind for-profit organisations that are committed to social and ecological
sustainability as well as human welfare. By examining the personal and social drivers of
businesses which are not solely focused on profit-making the authors reveal a dual orientation
that is an important factor in the creation of hybrid organisations. Offering an in-depth study
of B Corp entrepreneurs in Chile the largest B Corp community outside of North America this
pioneering book challenges dominant assumptions that there is only one ideal type of
entrepreneur and argues that the values of the purely profit-driven and purely social-driven do
in fact intersect. An enlightening read for researchers of social business and sustainability
this book analyses perceptions towards success and the desire to solve environmental problems
underlining a fundamental aspect of the entrepreneur's personal value structure.
