3. Why are we here?
The emergence of these organizations and individuals gave
birth to the concept of ‘social enterprises’ and ‘social
entrepreneurs’ – entities employing market-based solutions
to pursue the creation of social value (Dees, Emerson, &
Economy, 2001).
Businesses, nonprofits, and the government have each failed in
addressing the world’s most pressing problems (Visser, 2010). In
this regard, hybrid organizations and innovative individuals began
to blur the boundaries between the private and public sectors in
the pursuit of creating value for society (Dees & Anderson, 2006).
5. The Social Enterprise Alliance defines social
enterprises as “businesses whose primary
purpose is the common good. They use
the methods and disciplines of business
and the power of the marketplace to
advance their social, environmental, and
human justice agendas”.

The Market
“The SME sector of a nation is
a barometer of an important
element of any sustainable
growth story, as these are the
companies that can account
for considerable job creation
as well as new instances of
personal wealth.”
