"Using the four leading common law jurisdictions in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and India) as case studies, the central argument in this book is that there should be a new legal form for social enterprises in Asia comprising a framework of five criteria: (1) corporate purpose; (2) directors' duties; (3) decision-making powers; (4) reporting, impact measurement, and certification; and (5) distribution of dividends, assets, and tax benefits."--ECIP chapter one.

"This is the first and only book in the world that provides a legal analysis of social enterprises in Asia from a critical and comparative perspective. Importantly, the book advances a comprehensive and nuanced legal framework for social enterprises that allows policymakers and regulators in different jurisdictions to evaluate, design and implement the laws and regulations on social enterprises"-- Provided by publisher.
