DescriptionSocial entrepreneurship has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing the unique challenges faced by rural communities, driving economic development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. By combining innovation with entrepreneurship, rural initiatives can empower communities to thrive in an interconnected and competitive global economy. Key areas such as technology, networking, and sustainable manufacturing systems play a pivotal role in transforming rural economies, offering solutions to long-standing issues. These efforts not only enhance the livelihoods of rural populations but also contribute to creating resilient and inclusive communities that prioritize social and environmental well-being. Rural Social Entrepreneurship Development: Network-Based Manufacturing System Model explores the development of social entrepreneurship in rural areas. It focuses on creating interconnected, community-driven production models that leverage local resources, capabilities, and markets to support sustainable development in rural communities. This book covers topics such as environmental science, women in business, and skill development, and is a useful resource for business owners, entrepreneurs, sociologists, regional developers, academicians, and researchers.
