9. Social Enterprise
How does social enterprise differ from the traditional business model? Your answer should draw on practical examples of social enterprises which could be co-operatives, microfinance on the Grameen model, business at the base of the pyramid on the Grameen/Danone model, other NGO/corporate partnerships, or other social businesses.
What implications do these differences have for the ways in which the businesses operate and the ways in which they report on their activities?
