About Social Entrepreneurship
Investors from the US and other developed countries are looking forward to invest heavily in this social event ($46 billion estimated by JPMorgan in 2014). Silicon Valley’s technology stalwarts (Zuckerberg, etc) are also diverting towards the representations of social enterprise. Even Michael Porter (Porter’s 5 Forces), the founder of Monitor group, Harvard, is now completely focused on reconsidering profit products and services to improve customer outcomes (social enterprise).
Yet this billion dollar quest opportunities are brought up here in Karachi, Mumbai, Shanghai, Beirut, Athens, Astana, Brasilia, Accra and many others. These nations were selected for their struggle against the world’s economic and social match. In order to fulfill the basic necessities of education, food and care, they face high challenges to overcome them. Therefore, they are being provided with the greatest opportunities to boost up their market.
