Director Undergraduate Teaching & Learning, School of Business, Trinity College Dublin
"Creating Good Work focuses on 'social innovation,' which is the third largest pillar of innovation within our society. Our ability to create good work in the social innovation sphere will be the absolute decisive challenge for our next generation. This is especially true in terms of building our future economies.

With this wonderful book, Ron Schultz provides a practical and pioneering work on this subject." - Peter Spiegel, Head of Institute, Genesis Institute for Social Innovation and Impact Strategies, Berlin, Germany
