    tribute to a very society we live in. With growing inclination toward holistic and inclusive

    growth a new dimension into entrepreneurship: social entrepreneurship has been

    identified. The relevance of Social Entrepreneurship holds well in todays business

    scenario and hence the theme for this edition Social Entrepreneurship. The cover

    story Social Entrepreneurship & Corporate Social Enrepreneurship deals with the

    role, importance and the implications of Social Entrepreneurship with respect to todays

    business scenario.

    Lijjat Papad exemplifies microfinance and the lessons to be learnt from this story are

    dealt with in the article.

    A contemporary way of doing business

    In the event of a sudden loss ofoxygen from the cabin, a mask will drop

    down from the overhead panel above

    you

    How many times have you cared to pay

    attention to the safety instructions while

    on the plane? Do you really care or feel

    any inclination for those instructions to be

    directed at you? However, one of those

    instructions is of critical importance

    put on your own oxygen mask first

    before attending to children and other

    passengers.No points for guessing why.

    The same situation can arise at various

    points in our lives where we may be called

    upon to assist others, out of courtesy or

    may be, out of compulsion, by way of

    money, fundraising, personal care, etc.

    This is the very base which forms theessence of what has came to be known as

    Corporate Social Entrepreneurship.

    Potential Society Contributors

    We wonder why only top notch players

    of the market are recognized for their

    contribution to the society. This is because

    they are involved in what is called as

    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

    Other two categories (Potential Society

    Contributors, PSCs) with respect to

    contribution to the society could be: First

    are those who are contributing to the

    society but not significant enough because

    of limited resources and second are those

    who cannot get themselves involved in

    social activities because of very limited

    resources but would like to make their

    contribution in the future as they grow.

    The big players of the market have

    large pool of resources at their disposal,

    which they utilize in the development of

    the society as part of their CSR activity

    whereas the PSCs have limited resources

    but are growing and competing to be able

    to match shoulders with the top players.

    As a result, their main focus is on self-

    sustainability and they try to utilize the

    potential of their resources on achieving

    their primary goal of self-prosperity rather

    than taking an active part in socialadvancement.

    Now, here we should think of a solution

    by which the PSCs primary concern could

    be addressed and at the same time,

    making them do their bit for the society,

    which is defined as CORPORATE SOCIAL

    ENTREPRENEURSHIP, CSE.

    Corporate Social Entrepreneurship

    (CSE)

    CSE has been defined by Austin,

    Leonard, Reficco and Wei-Skillern (2006)

    as

    the process of extending the firms

    domain of competence and corresponding

    opportunity set through innovative

    leveraging of resources, both within andoutside its direct control, aimed at the

    simultaneous creation of economic and

    social value.

    In simpler language, CSE can be

    defined as identifying opportunities for

    and/ or championing socially responsible

    activity; in addition to helping the firm

    achieve its business targets.

    Double Value Creation

    James Austin and Ezequiel Reficco state

    that CSE, like all entrepreneurship, is notabout managing existing operations or CSRprograms; it is about creating disruptivechange in the pursuit of new opportunities.It combines the willingness and desire tocreate joint economic and social value withthe entrepreneurial redesign, systemsdevelopment, and action necessary tocarry it out. CSE gives an advantage forsynergistic generation of economic and

    social value.The penetration of the social realm

    into corporate strategy has gatheredmomentum in the last years.

    Societal Marketing

    As goods become more commoditized,and as consumers grow more sociallyconscious, some well-known companies likeBodyshop, Timberland and Timberland are

    adding social responsibility as a way todifferentiate their brands and reputationsas well as their products and services andachieve notable sales and profit gains.They believe customers will increasinglylook for signs of good corporate citizenship.

    McDonald promotion of a statewidechildhood immunization campaign inOklahoma was based on Corporate SocialMarketing in which they advertised

    themselves along with serving socially.

    Attaining sustainable growth

    CSR is little more than corporate greenwashing - the voluntary adoption of atoken social or environmental initiativeintended to enhance a company'scorporate image. At its best, CSR mayprovide the starting point that businessesneed to begin moving toward

    sustainability.

    This may offend some because itunderlines the personal interests of theorganizations but in the light of CSE, wecan see it as an idea whereby a companycan achieve its business objectives bycreating and implementing innovative andvaluable social solutions that are good forbusiness as well as the society.

    A companys thinking about currentactivities and objectives towards the CSR,has shifted from CSR as a cost or riskmitigation effort to CSR as a strategic goal

    that brings in new revenues. This can beinferred from IBMs global surveyconducted to gauge how deeply the CSRissue has penetrated the core of thecorporations its strategies andoperations. They surveyed more than 250business executives worldwide.

    Survey Results:

    Over two-thirds (68 percent) of thebusiness leaders surveyed by IBM arefocusing on CSR activities to create newrevenue streams (see Figure 1).

    Over half (54 percent) believe that theircompanies CSR activities are alreadygiving them an advantage over their

    competitors.

    IBM works with public and not-for-profit organizations to make the WorldCommunity Grid available to a volunteer

    force of more than 210,000 people whodonate the idle processing power of theircomputers to create a virtualsupercomputer devoted solely tohumanitarian research. The program isstrategic to IBM because it demonstrateshow leading-edge technologies thecompany has been developing can meetmajor global challenges, and it gives thecompany feedback on the performance of

    those technologies in real worldapplications.

    Because the positive financial impactof such strategies is often indirect, effortsarent always sustained. But in order tohave a lasting impact on society and onthe business, they must be maintainedand leveraged.

    Demonstrating cost savings is anothermeans to engender sustained support.Companies are finding that many CSRinitiatives, including those that reduceenergy consumption or benefit theenvironment, help reduce overall coststructures or increase productivity. Forexample, Catalyst Paper Corporation, aCanadian pulp and paper company, usesits own by-products (biomass) to powerits operations. It also regains heat fromeffluence to warm process water and

    thereby further reduces its carbonemissions. Together with efficiency gainsand a switch to natural gas, the companyhas lowered its greenhouse gasemissions by 70 percent and its energyuse by 21 percent since 1990. In 2005and 2006 alone, the company savedUS$4.4 million through a 2 percent

    reduction in fuel consumption.

    Starbucks entered into a partnershipwith Conservation International to fosterenvironmentally sustainable coffeeproduction among small farmers inChiapas, Mexico. This nonprofitorganization brought in its environmentalexpertise and its capacity to work withsmall farmers while Starbucks chipped inwith its knowledge of quality coffeeproduction and its marketing channels.This entrepreneurial combination ofdistinctive competencies created a

    process that developed new productiontechniques and new supply of organiccoffee for Starbucks, which in turngenerated significant incomeenhancements to the farmers andimproved environmental conditions in thegrowing areas. This initial partnershipexpanded to other countries and even ledto the reformulation of Starbucks basiccoffee procurement criteria and

    procedures giving it a competitive edge inoperational costs.

    Challenges

    The challenges are immense inapplying the idea of CSE in theorganizations as it needs socialinnovations which could be leveraged inachieving the social goals as well as thebusiness goals of the organizations. PSCs

    expertise in the area of social valuecreation is quite limited which makes it arisk taking strategy for them. However,business is all about taking risks and thisis something PSCs can learn from themost successful companies around theglobe.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Entrepreneurs are innovative,highly-motivated, and critical thinkers.

    When these attributes are combinedwith the drive to solve social problems,a Social Entrepreneur is born. Althoughacademics and lay observers generallyagree what a social entrepreneur is,there is still ambiguity surrounding thedefinition of a social enterprise.Socialentrepreneurship is the work of a socialentrepreneur. A social entrepreneur issomeone who recognizes a social

    problem and uses entrepreneurial

    principles to organize, create, andmanage a venture to make socialchange.

    Social entrepreneurship is aninnovative blend of social action andentrepreneurial strategies. These newenterprises take a variety of forms, andcome in all sizes. Some are organizedas for-profit businesses dedicated tosocial change. Others are non-profitorganizations paying their own way

    with income-earning enterprises.WHERE THE DIFFERENCE LIES:

    Whereas a business entrepreneurtypically measures performance inprofit and return, a socialentrepreneur assesses success interms of the impact s/he has on societyas well as in profit and return. Whilesocial entrepreneurs often workthrough nonprofits and citizen groups,

    many are now working in the privateand governmental sectors and makinga real impact on society.

    The main aim of a socialentrepreneurship as well as socialenterprise is to further social andenvironmental goals for a good cause.Although social entrepreneurs are oftennon-profits, this need not beincompatible with making a profit.Social enterprises are for more-than-

    profit, using blended value businessmodels that combine a revenue-generating business with a social-value-generating structure orcomponent. A social entrepreneur inthe 21st century will redefineentrepreneurship as we know it due totheir progressive business models.

    The uniqueness of the socialentrepreneurship approach becomesmore apparent when seeing it inaction. Here are three typical modelsfor social entrepreneurship.

    Social Business It is a for-profit

    business with a social agenda thatholds a higher priority than maximizingprofits. Its core products or servicesare designed to directly address asocial need, or to fund a social cause.Also called "not just for profit (NJFP)businesses" or "for-profit socialenterprises," these ventures usebusiness income to finance their goodworks

    Non-profit Social Enterprise - Anon-profit organization addressingsocial problems that derives asubstantial portion of its income fromproducts and services it sells to thosewho can pay, rather than relying solelyon grants and donations.

    Pro Bono Practice - A professionalservices group of one or more lawyers,

    health practitioners, consultants, orother professionals designed primarilyto serve people unable to pay. Thegroup earns its income by charging fullfees to other clients, selling additionalproducts and services to those who canpay, or finding sponsors for their work.It's a simple model that allows eventhe smallest business to have animpact.

    A unique organization of the woman, by the woman, for the woman

    Karram Kurram... Does it ring a bell

    in our mind? Yes, it does. Almost a

    decade and a half ago, we used to watch

    this very popular advertisement of Lijjat

    Papad on Doordardarshan channel. Some

    of us might still remember the jingle

    Khurram Khurram in which a bunny

    would come with papads in both of his

    hands. And that papad pack can be seen

    in many Indian kitchens nowadays. Few,however, know about the success of

    Lijjat Papad as a social entrepreneurship

    venture.

    Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad

    started in 1959 on the terrace of a

    residential building in Mumbai with 7

    women and a borrowed sum of Rs. 80 as

    initial capital. The objective was to

    empower women by providing them

    employment opportunities and to

    improve their economic status. It

    leveraged the ordinary Indian household

    womans greatest skill i.e. cooking. It

    aimed at producing quality products at

    reasonable prices.

    Like any other start-up, the earlier

    days of Lijjat Papad were not smooth.

    There were issues like drying of papad in

    rainy season, because of which the workhad to be stopped for four months.

    Attempts to open new branches at two

    places proved to be futile one after the

    other. Self-reliance was the policy and no

    monetary help was to be sought (not

    even voluntarily offered donations), so

    the funds were always a bottleneck due

    to which there was a cap on the extent of

    production. But, with the time and the

    sweat of the member sisters, Lijjat was

    able to overcome all problems it faced.

    By the end of third year, it had more

    than 300 members working for it. The

    annual sales of papads touched Rs. 1.82

    Lakh figure in 1962-1963. It then

    registered itself as a society and also

    acquired a new place as its production

    unit.Today, the organisation is wide-

    spread, with its Central Office at Mumbai

    and its 72 Branches and 27 Divisions in

    different states all over India. It has

    achieved sales of over Rs.520

    crores with exports itself exceeding

    Rs. 24 crores. Membership has also

    expanded from an initial number of 7

    sisters from one building to over42,000 sisters throughout India. It has

    also expanded itself in the line of

    products and apart from papads, it also

    manufactures various products like

    Khakhra, Appalam, Masala, Vadi, Gehu

    Atta, Bakery Products, Chapati, SASA

    Detergent Powder, SASA Detergent Cake

    (Tikia), SASA Nilam Detergent Powder,

    SASA Liquid Detergent.

    The success of Lijjat Papad lies in its

    principles and values. The organization isa synthesis of 3 different concepts Concept of Business, Concept of Familyand Concept of Devotion.

    Concept of Business - All its dealingsare carried out on a sound and pragmaticfooting - Production of quality goods andat reasonable prices. It has never andnor will it in the future, accept anycharity, donation, gift or grant from any

    quarter. On the contrary, the membersisters donate collectively for goodcauses from time to time according totheir capacity.

    Concept of Family - Its membersisters have adopted the concept ofmutual family affection, concern andtrust. All affairs of the institution aredealt in a manner similar to that of afamily carrying out its own dailyhousehold chores.

    Concept of devotion - For themember sisters, employees and wellwishers, the institution is never merely aplace to earn one's livelihood - It is aplace of worship to devote one's energynot for her personal benefits but for thebenefit of all. In this institution work isworship. The institution is open for

    everybody who has faith in its basisconcepts.

    Apart from its core values, it alsofocuses on its social responsibility. Lijjatprovides scholarships to the children ofthe papad roller sister members whopass out in 10th and 12th standard everyyear so as to enable the Lady Membersto encourage their children for education.It also has a policy of 18 years as a

    minimum age of entry for girls so that

    their education is not hurt.

    The organization has seen manymilestones during its auspicious life. Itreceived an award from Khadi & VillageIndustries Commission as a "Best VillageIndustry" for the period 1998-1999 to2000-2001. On 6th September 2003, theInstitution received the Economic TimesAward of "Businesswomen of the Year2001-02 for Corporate Excellence". Lijjatwas featured in various T.V. Channels,

    which include BBC World in theprogramme "Business Bizarre".

    In a country like India where womenare seen as inferior to men, Lijjat Papadhas set up a very strong example thatwomen can also make it big. The onlything that is needed here is to have faithin oneself.

    So, the next time you visit any grocery

    store and pick up the Lijjat pack,acknowledge the hard work put-up foryears in building this organization

    Under the supervision of Dr. S.N.Ragnekar and with the help of students,an enlightening session was conducted forthe MBA first year students on September5, 2010 on the topic Importance ofOrganizational Behaviour in CorporateWorldby Ms. Seema Sanghi

    Ms. Seema Sanghi started her talk by

    sharing her experiences of life. Accordingto her life is less technical but more ofpractical and it is the nature of humans tolearn from experiences. She said thatevery person should assess himself andmust know about his/her strengths andweaknesses. She also talked about thedifference between a team and a groupwhich is one of the most basic yet themost confused term among masses. The

    basic difference is that the team consistsof people with complementary skills andthere is interdependency among themembers of team while a group consistsof people of different skills and themembers are less dependent on eachother. She explained the difference bycomparing our class and Indian cricketteam. In Indian cricket team the playersare dependent on each other for the

    success and even the non performance ofone player affects the team while it is notthe same case in class where eachindividual is responsible for his/her ownsuccess. She stressed on the importanceof People Skills in the life of managersand entrepreneurs and insisted thatemphasis on it would be even scaled upas we climb higher rungs of the corporate

    ladder. She elucidated the role of Behavioural Skills in defining ourstrengths, weaknesses and role in anorganization.

    On the request of Dr. S.N. Rangnekar,she also shared her experience of co-authoring the book OrganizationalBehaviourwith us.

    On being asked about the problemfaced by an introvert in the organisation,Ms. Sanghi talked about the two(personaland professional) behaviours of anindividual and emphasised that anindividual may remain introvert in hispersonal life but for achieving growth inprofessional life he needs to be moreextrovert as a professional.

    As a response to the question, How amanager can influence employees oforganisation to work cohesively towardsachieving the goal? , she pointed out thefour employee categories which are starperformer, horses, problem child anddead wood. A star performer is the mostproductive for an organisation and justrequires some motivation, a horserequires the direction ,problem

    child(employee in some problem) requiresconsulting while a deadwood (less skilledand less motivated employee) requiresboth skill set and motivation to achievethe goal in an organisation .

    The enlightening and interactivesession came to a conclusion with a voteof thanks by the class representative.

    Jigyasa is a national level paper presentation contest and the annual flagship event of DoMS IIT

    Roorkee. The topic this year is " Management Education in India , An Agenda for Reforms".

    Formal management education in India dates back to the 1950 s and since then it has grown in

    sync with the ever growing Indian economy. With India becoming a global force to reckon with,

    the need for leaders who can take the responsibility of carrying the country forward, is

    exponentially increasing. This makes the Management Education more important and a key force

    to carry the Nations fortune forward on the right path.

    The event expects the participants to explore the various types of reforms such as Social,

    Educational, Entrepreneurial, Economic etcetera and build a model or a framework so as to

    facilitate the initiation of one or more of these reforms by using the Management Education

    System as a tool. All these reforms need to be brought about considering the present socio-

    economic condition of the society as a whole.
