Overview of Social Enterprise
What others are saying?
Social Enterprise Alliance:
Social enterprises are businesses whose primary purpose
is the common good. They use the methods and disciplines
of business and the power of the marketplace to advance
their social, environmental and human justice agendas.
(www.se-alliance.org)
Wikipedia:
A social enterprise is an organization that applies
commercial strategies to maximize improvements in human
and environmental well-being, rather than maximising
profits for external shareholders. Social enterprises can be
structured as a for-profit or non-profit, and may take the
form of a co-operative, mutual organization, a social
business, or a charity organization.
18
Overview of Social Enterprise
Related Concepts…
Social Innovation: “Creativity for the Greater Good” (WSJ
Online, 5/25/11: http://online.wsj.com/article/7AD57DAA-4E36-4098-B43A83DBE855FDD9.html#!7AD57DAA-4E36-4098-B43A-83DBE855FDD9 )
Social Entrepreneurs: “Just as entrepreneurs change the face
of business, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for
society, seizing opportunities others miss and improving
systems, inventing new approaches, and creating solutions
to change society for the better. While a business
entrepreneur might create entirely new industries, a social
entrepreneur comes up with new solutions to social problems
and then implements them on a large scale.”

Origins of Social Enterprise
In a way, Social Enterprise is very old:
• Susan B. Anthony (U.S.): Fought for Women's Rights in the United States,
including the right to control property and helped spearhead adoption of the
19th amendment (19th & 20th Century).
• Dr. Maria Montessori (Italy): Developed the Montessori approach to early
childhood education (19th & 20th Century).
• Florence Nightingale (U.K.): Founder of modern nursing, she established the
first school for nurses and fought to improve hospital conditions (19 th Century).
•
• St. Francis of Assisi (Italy): Founded three (and inspired many more)
enterprises that have served the poor throughout the world (13th Century).
• Henry J. Kaiser and Sidney Garfield (U.S.) Founders of Kaiser Permanente
Health Care in 1945.
• John Muir (U.S.): Naturalist and conservationist, he established the National
Park System and helped found The Sierra Club. (19 th & 20th Century)
Sources: Bornstein (2004); https://www.ashoka.org/social_entrepreneur; http://xnet.kp.org/newscenter/aboutkp/historyofkp.html
20
Origins of Modern Social Enterprise
In another way, Social Enterprise is very new (about 25 years
old):
• David Bornstein. 2004. How to Change the World:
Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas
• C.K. Prahalad. 2004. The Fortune at the Bottom of the
Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profit
• Muhammad Yunus. 2007. Creating a World without
Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism.
• Muhammad Yunus. 1995. Banker to the Poor

Types of Social Enterprise Business Models
• For-Profit: Firm is structured like any other for-profit business,
though it also values social impact. (Trade off profit for impact.)
• Non-Profit: Firm is structured like any other non-profit
business, though with an emphasis on a sustainable business
model, not donations/grants.
• Hybrid (“Social Business”): Muhammad Yunus, Firm is for-
profit though it should not generate huge profits – “no loss, no
dividend.” (E.g., Grameen Danone, 2006)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grameen_Danone )
• Benefit Corporation: A legal designation for firms that
“(create) a material positive impact on society and the
environment.” These firms have an expanded fiduciary
requirement to consider nonfinancial interests, including
providing annual reports on the “overall social and
environmental performance using recognized third party
standards.” (source: http://benefitcorp.net/)

What Social Enterprise Looks Like Today
• Social Enterprise is now a large and growing space of
businesses that are dedicated to making a social or
environmental impact while generally trying to remain at
least financially sustainable.
CSR v. Social Enterprise
• CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) has become very popular,
especially post-Enron . . . But this is essentially taking a firm that
does well and trying to ensure that it also does good (or at least no
harm to stakeholders).
• SE firms’ major raison d’etre is to do good . . . and--what sets it apart
from traditional charity is--they hope to do well in the process.
28
Modern Social Enterprise Business Models
Some Basic Examples:
• Microfinance—granting financial products to those who are
traditionally “unbanked” to help reduce poverty
• Grameen Bank http://www.grameen.com/
• Accion San Diego http://www.accionsandiego.org/
• La Maestra Community Health Centers http://www.lamaestra.org/
• Ecological Restoration Programs
• Accion Verde (Colombia)

Specific Examples of Social Enterprises
• There are many, many examples!
• For an excellent starting point, there is a designation
program called “B-Corporation certification” or
designation (It is to social enterprise what Fair Trade and
LEED are to their industries) (http://www.bcorporation.net/)
• Currently 775 B corporations in 27 countries
• Emphasis on taking care of all stakeholders in business:
• http://www.bcorporation.net/community
• http://www.bcorporation.net/community/find-a-b-corp
32
Specific Examples of Social Enterprises
• Accion Verde is a Colombian for-profit enterprise that
obtains revenues by producing positive social and
environmental impacts, by planting trees in strategic
places of Colombia, calling on third party Social
Responsibility resources. http://www.accionverde.org.co/

accessories” using renewable resources such as bamboo.
Their products “. . . are handmade and finished without

Specific Examples of Social Enterprises
• Peeled Snacks makes healthy, all-natural snacks. “We strive to
bring you natural, premium ingredients so you can feel good
about snacking. We believe a healthy diet includes a balanced
mixture of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates to help you stay fit
and active. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating tasteless,
bland foods. It does, however, mean eating a healthy, wide range
of foods from every food group.” http://www.peeledsnacks.com/
