The practice and the concept of social enterprise has been studied extensively across the globe; however, the flourishing of nonprofit social enterprises has received little attention over the years, especially in Africa. This book provides a framework to help indigenous nonprofit social enterprises flourish. A flourishing organization is one that can sustain organizational operations in an environment in which employees find pleasant and fulfilling. The results and recommendations provide in this book come from a theoretically grounded quality study that identifies the factors influencing an organization. Featuring data from eight indigenous nonprofit social enterprises in Africa, this book is useful to students, scholars and practitioners in entrepreneurship, human resource management, nonprofit management, and organizational behavior.
