If  the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise?

Social entrepreneurship aim to solve the social problem, like education, children health, housing, clean water, and climate change mentioned in the video. And the innovations are the most promising solution to global problem. To accomplish the goal of innovation, a small company should extend their reach, deepen their impact, so that the society can be improved fundamentally.

Providing enough funds are necessary. Everything we do to improve the society need funding. However, funding is not enough to reach its goal. The knowledge, the social experience cannot be brought by money. Generating social value is one of the goal of social entrepreneurship, and wealth creation is not an end, promoting systemic social change is the real objection. The result from social enterprise is the production of measurable return, which means to transform existing realities, open up new pathway, unlock society’s potential of effect social change.

The Arc program is a successful case of social entrepreneurship. It gathers some of the knowledgeable and professional person to provide guidance to the small company in South America. Their valuable advice lead to the success of many small companies like Salem’s Ethiopia, Shega Shero and Osei Duro. After attending the workshop held by Arc program, they were able to find the best ways to operate their company and they established a successful company finally.

In conclusion, social entrepreneurship involves providing funds, as well as business knowledges and experiences. To become successful in transforming the society, the most important factor we should be taken into account is innovation.

The blog shows how important the employee’s motivation is. If a company’s employee lose their motive to work, it is difficult for a company to become successful. When a new employee enter an organization, there is a period of time where individual will be very active. This is not because of their knowledge or their responsibility but the human nature. You enter a new position, you will work very hard to build your reputation. After a few years, you will become lazier than before and a downward trend begins in term of productivity and efficiency. Therefore, the leader of the team should do something to prevent the decreasing productivity from happening. All the leader should do is to keep his employee dynamic. Giving a gift during holidays or some special events can provide them a sense of belonging which can encourage them to work harder and improve their efficiency.

However, building a close relationship among employee is costly. For instance, to throw a party for holiday, you should rent a place, order food and drink, buy gift……These thing may cost a lot. Some greedy employee may take advantage of it and take away a lot of food.

Even though it may cost a lot, It is still have a lot of advantage of being concerned with our employee. If we create a sense of belonging within employee, and they all enjoy working here, and the productivity will improve. In addition, the reputation of the company will be improved, which can attract a lot of experienced employee to join the team.

It is a worthy investment that put more effort into building relationship with the stuff. After all , a company cannot be success without the effort of the employee.

Baidu－a well-known searching engine in China, gain its popularity not only by its multi-function, but also by its meaningful name.  I am all for Hui Lai’s idea that the most important factor affecting the consumer’s positioning of the product is its brand name. A catchy, memorable name can be very attractive for consumer. A good name is a name which the customer can recognize what product it is by only looking at it. Like Baidu, it came from a  poem written by  a well-known poet call Xin Qiji 800 years ago. In Chinese, Baidu means hundreds of times. By connecting with the poem, we can conclude that “Baidu” means you can find anything  you want from the searching engine by one click on your mouse. The name of Baidu also reveals how great the traditional Chinese culture is.

If Chinese people want to search something they are interested in, the first website we would browse is Baidu. We could see that Baidu have occupied an important place in Chinese people’s mind, Which means that its value proposition has been a great success. In spite of its beautiful brand name, the sequence is also important. Although Google enter the market before Baidu in the world, Baidu is the first Chinese-created searching browse that know Chinese the best. It can know Chinese people searching habit and make an improvement based on that habit. And it also create a lot of website application like Blog which make it more popular.

Combining all I have mentioned above, Baidu succeeded in creating an important value in customer’s mind, and it is getting more and more popular as the amount of user are booming.

Nowadays, there are more and more environmental issue emerging in the world. In East Asia, the number of Coral reef has declined by at least 80% over the past 30 years due to the rapid growth of the economic.

In essence, I agree with Xiaochan Lu’s opinion that the preservation of Coral reef can benefit the society. In business perspective, Protecting the Coral reef makes the landscape more attractive to tourists. People will get upset if they see a completely different landscape as they have known through advertising.Then it is not likely for the tourists to visit this place again. As a result, the revenue from tourism falls and it is harmful to the economic as a whole. In environmental perspective, protecting the Coral reef can diversify the ecosystems as the Coral reef provides home for many species.

However, some people earn profit at the expense of sacrificing the natural resources like overfishing and polluting. This kind of behavior violates not only the business ethic but also the morality.In some situation, ethic and profit can coexist. Like I have mentioned above, Preserving the Coral reef will benefit the economic as well as the environment. Protecting the Coral is another way to increase profit by attracting more visitors. In spite of that, the company can gain more popularity from protecting the environment. The more people know about the company, the more profit the company earn.
