Issues in Social Entrepreneurship
• Product lines: – Tradition vs. innovation– Goods vs. services
• Organizations:– Unique/customized/personal vs. mass scale– Assessing Efficiency
• Growth and Transitions:– From grants to self-sustenance– From founding entrepreneurs to professional
managers

Product Lines: Tradition vs. Innovation
• Special• Pride• Existing skill• Craft: embroidery• Low capital • Low education• Low price
• Staying ahead of imitation
• New markets• New products• Mass production:
paper cups• Higher values

Product Lines: Goods vs. Services
• Known crafts• Familiar processes• Familiar markets• Higher investment• Limited demand
• Newer process• Creation of new
markets• Reputation important• Quality from
experience• Low investment• High demand• Challenge of
standardization

Organizations: Unique/Customized/Personal vs. Mass
Scale• Human Scale & Care• Personalized• Uniqueness• Decentralized / Robust• Diverse• Individualized initiative• Difficult• Disappear with individuals• Entrepreneurial • Grass roots
• Large scale• Impersonal• Same/similar everywhere• Centralized / fragile• Copy cat• Mass initiative• Replicable• Continues beyond
individual managers• Top down control• Chance of going viral?

Organizations: Assessing Efficiency?
• Efficient for who?
• Engineering efficiency
• Economic efficiency
• Multiperson efficiency
• Efficiency under uncertainty
• Combination of two or more of the above

Growth and Transitions:From Grants to Self-Sustenance
• Is it possible? When?• Is it desirable? In which cases? Why?• If yes, what to do to become self-sustaining?

Engineering of Organizations: A Template
Shyam SunderGlobal Social Entrepreneurship Workshop
Yale School of ManagementSeptember 21, 2010

An Overview
• A Template for Organizational Engineering– An idea– Resources: inputs and outputs– People: what each gives and wants– Advantage to all– Good governance– Sustainability under stress– Change and transition (re-engineering)– Let us try this out, and develop it as we try
![Page 19: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1919
The Idea
• The idea originates with the entrepreneur: a way of meeting an unmet demand or utilizing one or more wasted resource(s) in a way that would make all participants better off– The initial idea rarely survives in final form– All entrepreneurs need to revisit and refine the initial
idea many times through iterations until it works– Template may help us refine the idea
![Page 20: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Resources: inputs and outputs
• What will be the output(s) of the organization (i.e., anything that anyone may want from it)?
• What inputs does the organization need (all those things for which we need to find a supplier)
![Page 21: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2121
People: what they want and are willing to give
• For each input, list one or more prospective supplier
• For each output, list one or more prospect who would want to have it
• If the list cannot be completed, go to an earlier step and revise it
![Page 22: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2222
Advantage to all
• Make a list of all participants (from previous page)• For each participant, list the contribution and entitlement• Check if for each participant, what they get is valued as
much or more than what they contribute• If not, what changes are necessary to make the
participation advantageous to every person on the list?• If there is no way of satisfying the condition, go to an
earlier step and revise it
![Page 23: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2323
Governance
• Good governance: It is in each participant’s interest to do what the other participants expect him/her to do in various circumstances
• How can we organize the environment of each participant to fulfill the good governance criterion?
• If such an environment cannot be designed, go to an earlier step and revise
![Page 24: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2424
Sustainability under stress
• What are the jolts that could shake the organization?
• How big a jolt can the organization survive (i.e., not violate the “advantage for all” condition)
• What can be done to:– Avoid the jolts– Increase capacity to withstand larger jolts– Plan for disaster (pick up the pieces)
![Page 25: Issues in Social Entrepreneurship](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813c80550346895da622ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2525
Change and transition (re-engineering)
• Which changes in the environment threaten the balance you have achieved in the organization (people, resources, technology, expectations)
• There are inevitable changes that make the organization infeasible
• Go to an earlier step to re-engineer:– New arrangements, expectations– New or different resources– New or different people– New or different idea

geographically isolated villages. • Enterprises: IT-based--cyber cafés, desktop publishing centers,
