Oxford report Part 2

Muhammad Yunus Nobel Laureate Acceptance Speech 2006 Almost all social economics problems of the world will be addressed through the social business ... The challenge is to innovate business models in such vital contexts as health care for the poor, financial services for the poor, information technology for the poor, education and training for the poor, marketing for the poor, renewable energy for the poor ------------------------------------ Gordon Brown to Muhammad Yunus, 10 Downing Street 21 April 2008: There is so much goodwill around what you are doing

Being a Social Business means that positive cashflow recycles every social business dollar invested over and over. This is in stark contrast with the dynamics of the traditional charity with its one-time spend of every dollar fundraised. However in many other respects, the social business strategy dares to selectively break with rules that MBAs are trained to standardise. A better for the world organisation does not need to be fronted by image-making advertisements:  reality-making is the purpose which a Social Business inspires people to gravitate around. The Social Business investment celebrates community-rising exponentials, ie sustainable growth over time. The organisational system needs to be mapped the other way round from management powering over people. Quite simply, empowerment’s authority to lead is seen through the transparency of an open win-win-win system - one that networks through local franchise replication. It does this to continuously generate the most service buzz and to multiply more human goodwill than competitors whose performance is only measured by quarterly extraction.
