I think it's an interesting read on social entrepreneurship, although I was expecting something more nitty-gritty on workable approaches to define and resolve wicked problems in general (not all wicked problems require social entrepreneurship to address)... Does anyone have any good links to analysis and solutions strategies for wicked problems in general?

Hi - Arguably, all wicked problems ARE social and systemic problems, at least as defined by most respected literature on the topic. The terms have been a bit overused in popular business culture, applied to problems that, while complex, aren't part of interconnected and systemic humanitarian problems. https://wickedproblems.com/1_wicked_problems.php https://wickedproblems.com/1_wicked_problems.php has more on this; Rittel is perhaps the most significant source for this topic.
