...Within reading the articles of social enterprise versus the social economy I learned a lot about how each different organization plays a role in the market. Based on the reading and with doing some research I have found some key points that I agree and disagree upon. Based on the concept of a social enterprise and the concept of achieving a business strategy they can be structured for a non- profit or for profit organization. My only concern is that even though some are not for profit like The Red Cross still questions arise. Even though they are a non-profit organization the employers have to be getting something in order to meet the standard of living? And also the CEO of the red cross there making a profit? For example the CEO of the American Red Cross Marsha J. Evans yearly income was 651,957. So the question that comes up is how can they be considered non-profit if at the end of the day there making a great profit? Social enterprises differ in that, inversely, they do not aim to offer any benefit to their investors, except where they believe that doing so will ultimately further their capacity to realise their philanthropic goals. Many entrepreneurs, whilst running a profit focussed enterprise that they own, will make charitable gestures through the enterprise, expecting to make a loss in the process. However unless the social aim is the primary purpose of the company this is not considered to be social enterprise. The term is more specific, meaning...

...and solve the problem by changing the system. They create ideas and find solutions that are ethical, sustainable or user-friendly, thus convince societies to adopt these steps. Every leading social entrepreneur (Bill Gates/ Richard Bronson) are visionaries that are concerned with profit maximization but also the welfare of the public. Social entrepreneurship shapes the frontiers between the profit- oriented sectors and the non-profit oriented sectors as social enterprises can vary from for-profit community development organizations such as hybrid organizations which have both profit and non-profit elements. This is so because of the different traditions of social entrepreneurship in different parts of the world. Some examples of non-profit social enterprises are the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), BRAC (NGO) or the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and some examples of profit oriented social enterprises are the Grameen bank in Bangladesh and SELCO. A good example of a social entrepreneur is Jordan Kassalow. He is the CEO and founder of VisionSpring. VisionSpring is a non-profit organization which was founded in 2001and its aim is to reduce poverty, provide job opportunities to the poor and provide affordable and low price eyeglasses in developing countries such as Bangladesh, India and Mexico.

Just to name a few, acquisitions, management, and a poor business environment. As a result of their acquisitions, they were entering new markets that had poor labor management, unions, and low productivity. The management was dislocated abroad, and local management was highly inadequate. Secondly, the business environment was also poor. They were in the middle of a global recession, and the market was overpriced for companies.

...ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE Author: Institution: Date of Submission: Introduction During the early days of computing, the new technology simply automated the contemporary manual processes with increased efficiency. As the new technology continued to evolve, new innovations paved the way for introduction of new processes and capabilities that were largely driven by information technology. Over time, information technology altered the business environment though not necessarily in conformation with the conventional business strategies. The resulting lack of alignment precipitated unanticipated loss of resources and missed opportunities, thus placing most organizations in competitively disadvantaged positions within the market. In order to align the business strategies with organizational objectives, a new approach for managing Information technology has been established. This new concept is referred to as Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise architecture refers to ways or means of describing organizational structures and processes that link the individual business structures. It is the practice of applying a rigorous and comprehensive method for illustrating a current or outlook of a business’s information systems, processes, personnel, and the business sub-units so that they can be in conformity with the organization’s key objectives and strategic direction. This means that enterprise architecture is a strategic information asset base that...

...fields like commercial entrepreneurship or family firms) potential subjects for those wanting to study founders of social ventures. Moreover, due to the global nature of the field, social entrepreneurs tend to be a disbursed group. Add to this the fact that there is little government-mandated public information on most social enterprises (as is the case with publically-traded firms, for example), and one can understand why few empirical studies on social entrepreneurship have gone beyond case studies. This is evidenced by a recent study by Short, Moss & Lumpkin (2009) which found only 16 papers published on the topic which utilized quantitative methods and most of those employed only descriptive statistics (e.g. means, medians, ranges). While theoretical pieces and case studies have added significantly to our understanding of social entrepreneurship, the dearth of quantitative research on the topic is extremely troubling. Without such research, our findings lack the generalizability needed to prescribe best practices to disparate social entrepreneurs. Additionally, the problems inherent in collecting data on social entrepreneurs and enterprises both discourages scholars from joining the field and limits the types of studies and publication outlets available to those that do. For these reasons, I believe that the lack of SocEnt data and quantitative studies are the biggest threats to the growth and impact of the field. The aim of this page is to provide links to potential...
