Social Entrepreneurship Definition

-

 My original definition of Social Entrepreneurship is:

A problem solving opportunity that allows one to shift from a financial gain to a material difference that creates an impact through the change of culture while providing a buffer for failure.


My new, edited definition of Social Entrepreneurship is:

A problem solving opportunity that allows one to shift from a financial gain to a material difference that creates an impact through the social change of culture, while providing a buffer for overall financial failure.

Stay skeptical article

This was an interesting article. I tend to be more of a skeptical person in nature and have always been taught to be skeptical when reading things online. I was honestly a little skeptical reading this as I found something that they said about Gates to be wrong, I will discuss that below. Becuse business is constantly growing and changing it does help to be skeptical of new businesses, practices and even the people involved that you may work with/for in the futrue.  Christian O'Christiansen, the writer of this article did make a good point about social responsibility and that more owners and CEO's do need to be more socially responsible in what they do as a person and what their company does.

 In my practicum class last year, we did an activity about what matters to each of us in a job and there was a consensus of wanting a better work/life balance with the company we will one day work with and how each career will have a different work/life balance percentage. This article talks about how Lauren Bacon has found that more people are becoming more concerned with their own well being and the well being of those in their family rather than the number of zeros on a pay cheque. As those people are seen to be choosing a life style over an actual profession, Bacon has set out to change the way people or businesses are seen when those priorities mean more to employees than what they are making.  In may of this year, Panasonic announced that it will be starting a four-day work week. They explained that this allowed employees to be more flexible to help meet other responsibilities and maintain a better work/life balance. But, not only does it help the employees, but it i...
