7. The rise of social entrepreneurship reflects a
growing sense today that many of the most
promising solutions to global problems don’t
necessarily depend on charity, government
aid, or foundation grants. They come from
individuals at the grassroots level willing to
bring entrepreneurial thinking to bear on some
of our toughest social problems.
8. Social entrepreneurs apply market principles
to the business of social change. A case in point
is Anita Ahuja in India. She has tackled
problems like waste, sanitation and
unemployment by launching a venture that
makes wallets, purses, and other high-end
accessories out of plastic waste.
9. No one has done more to put social
entrepreneurship on the map than Bill Drayton.
In fact, he’s widely credited with having coined
the term in the early 1980s. He’s the CEO and
founder of Ashoka, a global association of
social innovators. Since 1981, the organization
has elected some 3,000 leading social
entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing
them with living stipends, professional
support, and access to an outstanding global
network of peers.
11. The terms social entrepreneur and social entrepreneurship were used first in
the literature on social change in the 1960s and 1970s. The terms came
into widespread use in the 1980s and 1990s, promoted by Bill Drayton the
founder of Ashoka: Innovators for the Public ,and others such as Charles
Leadbeater.From the 1950s to the 1990s Michael Young was a leading
promoter of social enterprise and in the 1980s was described by Professor
Daniel Bell at Harvard as 'the world's most successful entrepreneur of
social enterprises' because of his role in creating more than sixty new
organizations worldwide, including the School for Social
Entrepreneurs(SSE) which exists in the UK, Australia and Canada and
which supports individuals to realize their potential and to
establish, scale and sustain, social enterprises and social businesses.
Another British social entrepreneur is Lord Mawson OBE. Andrew
Mawson was given a peerage in 2007 because of his pioneering
regeneration work. This includes the creation of the renowned Bromley
by Bow Centre in East London. He has recorded these experiences in his
book "The Social Entrepreneur: Making Communities Workand currently
runs Andrew Mawson Partnerships to help promote his regeneration
work.
12. Although the terms are relatively new, social
entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship can be
found throughout history. A list of a few historically
noteworthy people whose work exemplifies classic
"social entrepreneurship" might include Florence
Nightingale (founder of the first nursing school and
developer of modern nursing practices), Robert Owen
(founder of the cooperative movement), and Vinoba
Bhave(founder of India's Land Gift Movement). During
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries some of the
most successful social entrepreneurs successfully
straddled the civic, governmental, and business worlds
- promoting ideas that were taken up by mainstream
public services in welfare, schools, and health care.
