The Awethu Project: Values-Driven Decisions for Profit and Social Impact
內容大綱
The Awethu Project (Awethu) was a South African-based social enterprise that operated as a venture capital and investment firm for small, medium, and micro-sized enterprises. The company was widely acknowledged for its social mission of creating jobs and benefiting society while maximizing profit. In March 2016, Awethu's leaders signed an agreement with a prominent South African corporation, which could allow Awethu to operate within a higher segment, bringing the company closer to fulfilling its strategy. But Awethu continued to wrestle with a number of challenges, such as its socioeconomic environment and strategic focus decisions, and the question of how to continually attract capital and deliver on the company's vision. Finding themselves at an important moment in their company's history, Awethu's leaders considered how the new partnership could help Awethu address these looming challenges, while creating sustainable profit and value.
