Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurs in Emerging Markets: Framing the Issues
Thursday, May 19, 2005, Ann Arbor, WDI seminar room
On May 19-20, WDI will host the workshop “Social Enterprise and Entrepreneurs in Emerging Markets: Framing the Issues.” The workshop will focus on ways in which socially-oriented organizations are adopting commercial strategies to increase effectiveness and decrease grant dependence. We aim to bring together a small group of academics and practitioners to share their research and experiences, and to help frame a research agenda for exploring social enterprise in emerging markets. The event will be held at and sponsored by the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan (WDI) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Participants will present research or experiences in one of three panels; 1) Non-profit strategies to achieve commercial sustainability 2) Cross-sector partnerships 3) Policies which affect the development of the third sector.
