Heinz College's Institute for Social Innovation Launches The Chronicle of Social Enterprise

The inaugural issue of The Chronicle of Social Enterprise, published by the Carnegie Mellon University Heinz College Institute for Social Innovation, is now available as a free PDF download at http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/download.aspx?id=767.

This issue profiles 20 affirmative businesses, plus stories about affirmative business incubators, the role of the federal government and the rise of the movement internationally. Affirmative businesses are social enterprises that provide jobs, competitive wages and career tracks to people who are physically, mentally, economically or educationally disadvantaged.

The CSE is produced by CMU graduate students under the direction of faculty advisor Jerr Boschee, visiting Heinz College professor, and past contributor to the Social Enterprise Reporter.
