Traditionally, the term business commonly referred to commercial activities aimed at makinga profit or to organisations formed to make a profit. Indeed, in the past, economic theory madea fundamental assumption that profit maximisation was the basic objective of every firm. Themodern outlook, however, is different. For them, profit is only secondary. There are, moreover,
many organisations, both private and public, which do not aim at profit from their business.
In short, the definition of a business as a commercial activity to make a profit or an organisationformed to make a profit is a narrow one. Yet, to a layman, business still means industry andcommerce.
The old concept of business, confining it to commerce and private profit, has undergone aradical change. Today, business is regarded as a social institution forming an integral part of thesocial system. As Davis and Blomstorm observe, business is “social institution, performing a social mission and having a broad influence on the way people live and work together.”1 As Calkinsremarks: “It is now recognised that the direction of business is important to the public welfare,that businessmen perform a social function.”2
Thus, “viewed in a broad way, the term business typically refers to the development andprocessing of economic values in society. Normally, we use the term to apply to the private (nongovernment)portion of the economy whose primary purpose is to provide goods and services tocustomers at a price, but the lines of distinction are getting hazy as business and government overlap their functions in organisations such as the Communications, Satellite Corporation and
the Tennessee Valley Authority. In addition, business is a term applied to economic and commercial activities of institutions having other purposes, such as the business office of an opera association.
Thus, organisations which do not aim of making a profit, like the Delhi Development Authority,charitable hospitals, or other institutions, public relations organisations, government departments,etc., invest capital, price and market their products, services or ideas, manage their human
resources, and so on.According to Davis and Blomstorm, “our modern view of society is an ecological one.
Ecology is concerned with the mutual relations of human populations or systems with their
environment. It is necessary to take this broad view because the influence and involvement of
business are extensive. Business cannot isolate itself from the rest of society. Today, the whole
society is a business’s environment
Davis and Blomstorm point out that, in taking an ecological view of business in a systemrelationship with society, three ideas are significant in addition to the systems idea. The three ideas are values, viability and public visibility
Values
Business, like other social institutions, develops certain belief systems and values for whichthey stand, and these beliefs, and values are a source of institutional drive. These values deriv
This class will cover some of the key considerations social entrepreneurs face when launching and growing their social enterprise. Emphasis will be placed on marketing social enterprises where students will be provided an overview of theories around cause marketing and sustainable marketing. Operational, human and legal considerations are also reviewed which include understanding various legal forms applicable to social businesses. Students will also engage in basic financial analysis for their enterprise to determine the financial feasibility of their proposed solution.
Students will be exposed to methods for screening entrepreneurial ideas and evaluating its “business potential”. Students will be introduced to data collection methodologies and evaluate some of the challenges associated with synthesizing market data and applying this data to business decisions.
This class will focus on the remaining 2 elements of the system intervention process: financial modeling and target setting. Students will be led through the process of understanding how to determine a viable business margin for their venture, and how to set reasonable yet motivating business targets that guide business model execution.
This class will focus on understanding how to design solutions to a gap in a social system and looks at the first two steps in the system intervention process. Students will be led through an interactive Empathy Mapping exercise followed by an introduction to Business Modeling and the components of a business model canvas.
This lecture will be structured workshop-style, in collaboration with Clean Care and Public Inc. Students will be introduced to these two real-life social enterprises and have the opportunity to better understand the social problems these organizations are trying to solve and the challenges they are facing in doing so. This workshop is the first step in analyzing the two beneficiary organizations as part of developing proposed solutions, which make up the final assignment.
This lecture focuses the dynamics within systems, how to identify and analyze gaps as well as evaluate how change takes place within more complex systems. Students will be introduced to the process of systems mapping and will participate in a class exercise to create and analyze a systems map for a specific social system. Students may apply the lessons from this lecture to the preparation of their major assignment, which will be introduced in this class (due Class 9).
Students will learn about some of the key management challenges involved in running a social enterprise. Concepts to be covered include goal-setting and target-setting, identifying and measuring key metrics (both financial and social) and leading and inspiring a team. This class will also feature a “live case” with a guest social entrepreneur.
This class focuses on understanding some of the emerging issues and opportunities currently facing the field of social entrepreneurship. The lecture will also provide students with a sense of the career opportunities available to them. This lecture will feature a guest speaker.
Social entrepreneurship generally aims to deliver solutions that can amplify social impact, across individuals, communities, and regions. Scaling social innovation is not always straightforward, and includes a different set of considerations than starting a social enterprise.

This lecture will be structured workshop-style. Students will work with Engineers without Border to understand the process of systems mapping. Students will then create and analyze a systems map for a specific social system, which will then be used as the basis for the major group assignment.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
