SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR

Social entrepreneur: a person or organization that focus their activities on social impact on groups or society as a whole, take responsibility not only for business performance and own profitability but for social changes and rise. Usually they act through non profit or governmental institutions, but some of them are performing in private sectors.

I think the expansion of SE is considerable. To my mind, we can not establish a real fact of global business turn, but nevertheless, social entrepreneurship development is on true growth. Organizations as Achoka institute are active worldwide since more than 20 years but only now we can speak about global movement supported and promoted by major business school in the US and Europe. From one hand, it proves that business has accumulated enough financial and intellectual means to make social emphasis in activities, from the other hand, society becomes more and more concerned about the responsibility for global problems (as for example ecology, that is impossible to face within a single group or even a single country).
I think, the fact that SE becomes supported by business schools is a turning point, as they can promote social responsibility in new growing business society. In any case, it means another higher level of business maturity.
So far, it is even more important to use modern applications, techniques, strategies and intelligent approach to develop social business component to stimulate targeted groups and to develop in whole respect of their environment, without discredit neither business intentions nor the social idea as a whole.
