An interesting opinion article was recently written about the new age of social entrepreneurship.

For those who do not know the definition, here it is, from wikipedia.org: “Social entrepreneurship is the recognition of a social problem and the uses of entrepreneurial principles to organise, create and manage a social venture to achieve a desired social change. While a business entrepreneur typically measures performance in profit and return, a social entrepreneur also measures positive returns to society. Thus, the main aim of social entrepreneurship is to further broaden social, cultural, and environmental goals.”

It is an interesting article that reflects what the main goal of business should be. Our generation, after inheriting the mess from our parents, has a lot to work on in terms of recreating global balance, economically, culturally, socially. With business, we can find a way to economically benefit the world and ourselves. But, what’s your take on social entrepreneurship?
