Social Enterprise

May 29, 20104 likes824 views

This document discusses social enterprises as a potential solution to social and environmental problems. It summarizes that traditional institutions like governments, UN agencies, and large NGOs are often inefficient or removed from the problems. Businesses are not motivated by social missions. Social enterprises, however, are financially sustainable mission-based businesses that generate social or environmental returns rather than maximizing profits. Examples of successful social enterprises in Thailand are provided in areas like publishing, IT, fair trade, documentaries, agriculture, and education.

Craigslist is a simple to use online classifieds site that allows local community members to buy, sell, barter, and find services. This stimulates the local private economy and helps reuse goods, reducing waste in landfills. Craigslist also supports non-profits and gives community groups a platform to communicate about issues like recycling. Its ease of use, economic and environmental impacts, and focus on community involvement have contributed to Craigslist's success and positive social influence.

Microfinancing of rural mechanismsProf. Dr. Willem Van Cotthem

��

Microfinancing of rural mechanisms can help combat hunger, malnutrition, poverty, and health problems by providing microcredits to small-scale farmers and women gardeners. While microfinancing has been shown to improve lives of urban poor, efforts should focus on enhancing access to microcredits for rural populations, especially smallholder farmers. Doing so would not only help fight hunger and malnutrition but also promote job creation and productive activities in rural agricultural sectors for the benefit of the poorest communities and society overall.

Vivimos en un mundo que no funciona: crisis financiera, crisis ecológica, pobreza, consumismo… A nivel personal intentamos contribuir comprando productos locales, biológicos, reciclando, dando soporte a entidades sociales o dando parte de nuestro tiempo a “buenas causas”. En cambio, nos olvidamos de nuestra conciencia social cuando cruzamos la puerta de a oficina. Nosotros, como diseñadores, desarrolladores, innovadores… como profesionales que buscamos y desarrollamos soluciones deberíamos hacer más. Necesitamos introducir el factor de ‘Innovación social’ como un elemento más a considerar en nuestro trabajo, en nuestros proyectos. En esta presentación compartiré ideas y tendencias en innovación social, así como ejemplos de soluciones y productos. Te invito a cambiar tu punto de vista. Introduce más valor a tu producto añadiendo una capa de humana/social/ética, te sentirás mejor mientras trabajas, contribuirás a un mundo mejor, y crearás mejores productos para tus clientes.

This document discusses poverty reduction efforts and cross-sector partnerships. It notes that over 2.6 billion people live on less than $2 per day. The Millennium Development Goals aimed to reduce extreme poverty by 2015 through partnerships between governments, NGOs, and businesses. However, partnerships often fail due to cultural and organizational differences between sectors. True partnerships require understanding different perspectives and empowering local communities.

This document discusses the need for social innovation in urban planning and placemaking. It argues that existing development models often fail to create thriving communities because they do not put people at the heart of the process. True social innovation requires recognizing how local residents feel about their community, trying new collaborative approaches, and using creative tools to address social needs in innovative ways. The document provides examples of social innovation projects from the UK and Denmark that have helped engage communities and address issues like disadvantage through new solutions developed with local participation.

The document discusses the definition and components of social entrepreneurship. It defines social entrepreneurship as creating social and/or ecological value in a sustainable way. Successful social entrepreneurship requires generating financial surplus to ensure long-term commitment. It provides examples of social enterprises like Baisikeli that provide bicycles to improve access to opportunities, Moomsteatern theater group for people with disabilities, and Specialisterne that hires people with autism for software testing and programming jobs. The challenges for social entrepreneurship are developing support structures and resisting being seen as just "nice people doing good" rather than agents of change.

This document summarizes concerns about recent draft digital economy legislation in Thailand. It discusses concerns that the legislation could undermine separation of powers and transparency, and potentially infringe on civil liberties. Key points include: - The new Digital Economy Promotion Office could both set policy and compete with private operators, creating conflicts of interest. - A new Digital Economy Fund lies outside the parliamentary budget process and could give grants totaling billions of baht with limited oversight. - Revisions to the Computer Crimes Act may still be used against online speech and increase surveillance powers of authorities. - Changes to the NBTC Law could strip independence of the telecom regulator and prolong government control over spectrum allocation, undermining competition
