A new deal ?

Social entrepreneurship is the work of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change.

Whereas business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, social entrepreneurs assess their success in terms of the impact they have on society. While social entrepreneurs often work through nonprofits and citizen groups, many work in the private and governmental sectors.

A social entrepreneur is a different kind of social leader who:

§ Identifies and applies practical solutions to social problems by combining innovation, resourcefulness and opportunity. Innovates by finding a new product, a new service, or a new approach to a social problem

§ Focuses first and foremost on social value creation and in that spirit, is willing to share openly the innovations and insights of the initiative with a view to its wider replication

§ Doesn't wait to secure the resources before undertaking the catalytic innovation

§ Identifies and applies practical solutions to social problems

§ Focuses first and foremost on social value creation and in that spirit, is willing to share openly the innovations and insights of the initiative with a view to its wider replication

“The best example of Social entrepreneur is shown on the act of Mr. Muhammad Yunus. for Bangladesh.”

Recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, and internationally recognized for his work in poverty alleviation and the empowerment of poor women.

Professor Yunus has successfully melded capitalism with social responsibility to create the Grameen Bank, a microcredit institution committed to providing small amounts of working capital to the poor for self-employment.

From its origins as an action-research project in 1976, Grameen Bank has grown to provide collateral-free loans to 5 million clients in Bangladesh, 96% of who are women. Over the last two decades, Grameen Bank has loaned out over 5 billion dollars to the poorest of the poor, while maintaining a repayment rate consistently above 98%. The innovative approach to poverty alleviation pioneered by Professor Yunus in a small village in Bangladesh has inspired a global microcredit movement reaching out to millions of poor women from rural South Africa to inner city Chicago

After reading 'Good Works - with a Business Plan', I think that the MBA programs who decided to share more information about these topics have well understood that we speak about niche concept.

Social entrepreneur gained media attention and public attention.

This business model seems very interesting and helpful for the others. To my mind it is obvious that it permit “clean” business. Everyone is winning with social entrepreneurship : this might be the ultimate win-win business model. The entrepreneur is making business, with somehow a kind of gross profit. Customers are somehow people in difficulties, therefore such a business helps people, helps the Society, maybe even the government and the politics. Businesses such as equitable businesses really illustrate that this might not be only a trend, but more a way to show company that social business works, too. It might not shift the whole economy, but it will have surely an impact.

Anyway, business schools launched the program of Social entrepreneurship in order to attract young student’s imagination about the new corporate businesses, about new opportunities.

Social problems are present in every company and in every country so there is always and anywhere a desire to find innovative ways to solve social problems.

We should take into account that the most social entrepreneurship are financed by government and foundation and there is a lack of adequate financing.

This idea is very rich but today society needs more time and resolutions to put it the real practice. But as it will spread off with time, we will surely see that it is not just a trend.

To gain the low-cost leadership strategy the company implemented the following actions :1. Offering no commissions to travel agents (all the services are provided via internet)2. Eliminating meals during flights3. Savings in turnaround time (the key to profits is keeping planes in the air). EasyJet flies only short-haul routes and the company uses only one type of airkraft to minimise parts stock, training and maintenance costs – and to reduce downtime.4. Negociating low cost with new and existing airports5. Continuing implementation of more efficient technologies6. Obtaining profitable conditions of airbus leasing

3. How can 'free' generate revenue for an online business? Please include your favorite example.
Google's Formula
The freemium model is a model introduced by Avc in march. This model is described as a possibility to give away a service for free. It's an opportunity to acquire a lot of customers very efficiently through word of mouth, referral networks, organic search marketing, etc, then offer premium priced value added services or an enhanced version of your service to your customer base.

Buyers with access to the Internet have certain opportunities that may affect what they purchase, when, and where they take their business. Using sites like Google or Yahoo!, a buyer has the ability to search for a product or service; to compare sellers on important attributes such as price, quality, delivery and service; to read product reviews and consider the opinions of other buyers; and to do all of this quickly, cheaply, and with relatively little effort. This can be done regardless of whether or not the buyer chooses to complete the purchase online. Never before have buyers been able to know so much, so easily, about what they purchase and from whom.
Sellers can reach large numbers of consumers anytime day or night and can extend their business beyond the limits of geographic proximity more easily. Unconstrained by shelf space, sellers can list a large catalog of items and can quickly adjust prices to reflect changes in demand. A seller, like Dell Computer, can eliminate intermediaries and engage buyers directly online to understand their consumption habits and track their preferences, and then use this information to configure customized products and provide personalized levels of service.

Vent privée.com

What a good idea !
Finnaly we can find a luxury brands on half price.
Firt of all the site is very nicely designed and it attracts our attention.
I was supprised when I assigned myself for purchasing just because they show me an emaising video film about the summary of sales proposed for that day.
Little short video, very fashion, design, you feel that the company wants to work with professionnal material and wants to be sure that the sales will be succesfull and profitable also for them.
Very very sucessul marketing even if it’s creation was 6 years from now.
This site works like a private club, it can be accessible only by sponsorship from member who are already enregistred
This attitude give us a feeling that we are realy a special customer and really PRIVEE.
There is no risk for purchasing and there are many explications about delivery and if we are souranded with some problems they answer to us quickly.
I THINK THAT IT IS A WIN WIN COMBINATION!
Vente privée allows to the company to sell all their stock and the clients are happy because they can acheive luxyry brands in half price.
Honestly i am not afraid for the futur of this comoany.
They are so innovative and it’s strategy is not only to earn money but also to impress their customer.
The club will stay selective and this site will stay selective about the products proposed.
