Social Entrepreneurship & Measuring Social Impact: 101Dr. Catherine Lada
Social entrepreneurship aims to solve complex social problems through sustainable business models. It differs from traditional non-profits and businesses in pursuing a double bottom line of social impact and financial sustainability. Social entrepreneurs must understand the embedded context and ecosystem in which problems exist to develop effective solutions. "Wicked problems" are especially difficult to solve because they are situated within complex social systems. Truly addressing wicked problems requires considering all relevant actors and implementing coordinated multi-level solutions. Scaling solutions also requires understanding how approaches must be adapted to different environments and contexts. While measuring social impact is challenging, frameworks provide guidance on assessing evidence of impact at preliminary, moderate, and strong levels.
This document provides information about Ashoka, a global organization that supports social entrepreneurs. It contains the following key points:

Introduction to social entrepreneurshipFredrik Björk
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 discusses social entrepreneurship and its rise. It defines social entrepreneurship as pursuing innovative solutions to social problems through financially sustainable ventures that create social value. Social entrepreneurs address needs unmet by markets or governments. They are motivated by social benefit and work with markets rather than against them. Impact investing is growing to provide capital for social ventures to address challenges at scale. More people now prefer to support ethical companies and causes through volunteering, buying products, and employment. This values revolution and access to impact funding means social entrepreneurship can both benefit society and be financially sustainable.
Creating Concern started as a social blog in 2011 and has grown into an organization of awakened youth committed to making India better. They believe in multifaceted change through laws and morality. In the past, they organized events like street plays, debates, and campaigns to spread awareness on issues like janlokpal, women's rights, and swadeshi (preferring Indian products). They have worked with India Against Corruption and various schools and colleges on charitable activities. Currently, they are planning street plays on August 15th to promote swadeshi and visiting schools and colleges across Chhattisgarh and other states to spread awareness about swadeshi.
This document provides an introduction to social entrepreneurship in Australia. It discusses how the welfare state is under pressure and in need of innovation to address social problems more effectively. Social entrepreneurs can be an important source of this innovation by targeting underserved markets and creating large-scale, ethical solutions. The field of social entrepreneurship is growing in Australia, with more funding and support mechanisms emerging, including social finance, impact metrics, and collaboration between sectors. Opportunities exist in developing new education models, engaging citizens in policymaking, and bringing more product-driven social ventures to scale.
Innovior works to promote sustainable development and economic growth in rural communities through technology innovations and partnerships between formal institutions and local innovators. Their process involves creating community workshops for innovators, building partnerships between formal and informal science, investing in local ideas, providing micro-finance, and rewarding innovators where they live. Rather than treating economically poor people as recipients of aid, Innovior engages them as sources of new ideas and institutions. Some of their projects include developing rural health clinics to provide affordable healthcare, establishing "solar water ATMs" to improve access to clean water, and empowering women through solar energy and skills training projects in remote villages.
This document summarizes a research project that aimed to study the relationship between social innovation and economic development. It describes building a database of over 800 socially innovative organizations in the US. The research analyzed how concentrations of these organizations correlated with economic growth in cities. It then developed a "Fertile Ground Index" model to measure a region's potential for social innovation based on factors like foundations, demographics, education levels, and political affiliation. The research found correlations between social innovation and increased income and employment growth. It recommends further study and providing policy recommendations to support social innovation.
Social entrepreneurship uses business techniques to address social, cultural, and environmental problems. Social entrepreneurs have innovative solutions to major social issues and work to create wide-scale social change. They present user-friendly and ethical ideas and are ambitious, mission-driven, strategic, and resourceful. The concept of social entrepreneurship has existed since the 1960s but was promoted in the 1970s by Bill Drayton and Michael Young. Social entrepreneurs act as agents of change by pursuing opportunities to serve their mission of creating social value through continuous innovation despite limited resources.

Social entrepreneurs develop simple ideas to empower people to solve social problems themselves. They come up with new solutions and role models to motivate others. Social entrepreneurs can operate non-profits, for-profits, or hybrid models. Their focus is on social value over private value. They pursue opportunities relentlessly without resources and are accountable for outcomes. Social entrepreneurship combines social missions with business approaches to create change.

Thank you for the insightful presentation. I have a few questions:
1. How can mobile reputation systems address potential issues of bias, discrimination or unfair ratings?
2. What protections are in place to ensure users' privacy and prevent misuse of personal data in these systems?
3. Some argue these systems could exacerbate inequality. How do you respond to concerns about "reputation haves and have nots"?
