Description: "Drawing imaginatively on their respective experiences in the nonprofit and for-profit worlds - including a recent partnership at the helm of AmeriCorps, President Clinton's flagship of the Corporation for National Service - the authors of Common Interest, Common Good make the case for cross-sector partnerships between business and social concerns.

Sagawa and Segal argue that visionary corporations and community organizations (both nonprofit and government) led by "social entrepreneurs" can solve many of their problems by working together - while serving the common good in the process."--BOOK JACKET.
