@nicholaslow Please see the below link:
https://www.who.int/healthinfo/survey/whoqol-qualityoflife/en/index3.html. I think this is one of good measures you can choose from. -
Hyun Shin replied to Michael Liew
Surely that can be good outcome measures. You can also measure how it affects the quality of life, health, and education of the village people to see its impacts.

Thank you so much! We will take care of the issue. :)

They have a pretty good potential to build a sound B2B and/or B2G business models. :)

Thanks!

Hyun Shin replied to Rehan Khan
You are right. That's why we should examine carefully the benefits and costs of obtaining 'evidence of impact' through rigorous impact measurement and evaluation process. I believe the SSIR article "Ten Reasons Not to Measure Impact—and What to Do Instead" would give you a good guidance. :)

Yes, the question is how to bring the qualified teachers to the classrooms, which raises a number of issues such as training, compensation, etc. Any good suggestions? :)
-
But profit-orientation has its own virtues. We need to figure out how to combine the good parts of private and public sectors I believe. :)

Maybe you want to read the articles in the "See Also" section above, which address most of your questions. Please share your thoughts after reading them. :)

Thank you for your kind words. :)

Hyun Shin replied to Michael Liew
TOMS is just one company and it cannot address so many issues. I think if we have billions of companies which care about the issues you mentioned, we can solve lot more problems. TOMS at least raised the issue and showed a good example which worked in the market mechanism. :)

Hyun Shin replied to Polina Iskam
But I still appreciate those who do something for others because there are so many people who don't even care about others.

Hyun Shin replied to nicholas low
In theory, yes. However I observe that most co-ops face difficulty in scaling. Maybe the following article would be of help to those prefer co-op based approaches:

@MichaelLiew Thanks!

Yes, high-tech, low-tech, or no-tech does not matter as far as it helps! :)
-
Hyun Shin replied to Fiona Alderson
Glad that Koreans don't need to worry about Brexit at least. :)
-
Good point! But we also need to consider effectiveness (from user's perspective), fairness, and sustainability in addition to 'cost effectiveness' (i.e., efficiency).
-
That is a great point! I guess they should address your concern (maybe they might have done something already but I am not sure). :)

Good! Could you please elaborate your view? :)

Nothing is perfect and his model has some flaws indeed. Could you please give us your critiques? :)

Hyun Shin replied to Sarah Crawford
Thank you for sharing the video clip!!!
-
Hyun Shin replied to nicholas low
I agree. However I still appreciate those who try to do something for others. :)
-
Hyun Shin replied to Kristina Kremer
100% agreed. :)
-
We will see whether FB and GG try to improve their actions. :)
-
I think each country/society has its own set of problems which need to be addressed. :)
-
Social entrepreneurship is about a mindset whereas social enterprise is an organization which pursues both social and financial values based on social entrepreneurship. My 2 cents. :)
-
It would be great if you can use English next time :)
-
Hyun Shin replied to Lola Sanchez
@JuttaS. That is another good point! My focus in this course, however, would be more about social entrepreneurship which pursues both social and financial value though.
-
Hyun Shin replied to Lola Sanchez
@LolaSanchez That is a very interesting question. :) And I think the answers would be yes to both questions by definition. But in the real world the terms NGO and NPO are often used interchangeably, so it would be case by case depending on the characteristics of the organization itself.
