Network for Social Entrepreneurs (NSE)
|
Social Entrepreneurs play the role of change agents in the social sector through their adoption of a mission to create and sustain social value and their engagment in a process of continuous innovation, adaptation, and learning. In addition they act boldly without being limited by resources, and exhibit a heightened sense of accountability to the constituencies they serve and for the outcomes created.

Topic: Why business should stop apologising and get more strategic
Ann Bernstein, author of the recently published and much-acclaimed book The case for business in developing economies, urges business not to let such attacks stand unchallenged. It must find the confidence and strategic vision to stop apologising, develop its own public agenda and start propagating the phenomenal benefits of competitive capitalism for the less developed countries of the world.
