First Social Business School
The concept is very advanced for Latin American countries and
poor nations in the planet, but this takes place in developed countries, and
against all odds we inaugurated the first Social Business School ( ENS/SBS ) www.ensglobal.org in Constitucion - Chile, led by Bernardo
Javalquinto economist from the University of Maryland, Felipe Ribbeck,
Electrical Engineer and members of Board, together with the President of the
Maule Technological Institute (CFTM ) www.cftdelmaule.cl
, Carlos Francisco Letelier, have taken an important step in this initiative
supporting the ideas of Prof. Yunus to solve the Global Social Problems. Better
yet is the first to issue a Certificate / Diploma and MBA in Social Business in
the world. Each step is historic since is the First Social Business MBA program
issued on the planet. We should feel very proud to be the first (founders) to
clone and translate the ideas of Nobel Peace Prize Prof. Yunus to hundreds of
students to eradicate poverty and change the way we do business and the economy
being more humane and also that expands worldwide. Universities, institutions,
organizations and people are joining this cause. Constitucion is leaving a
legacy to the Maule Region and humanity. This has been a formidable ordeal,
which supported by a wonderful team of people, which north is carrying as the
heart and the brain’s of people the initial example of prof. Yunus and many
more celebrities in the world, we have designed a large lighthouse of scientific
and technological knowledge, we call it the “the new Alexandria lighthouse” to
be the permanent beacon to illuminate and forge a new and high destiny; first
for the youth of Constitucion, Chile and Latin America and later, why not say,
in many other parts of the world.
Everything here, obviously invisible to many; is palpable and
visible to others, covers only half of the equation we have considered in the
creation of this noble and humanitarian nonprofit project. Our concept, every
impulse that has designed to uplift mankind, can and would represent a equation
that involves two bodies or well defined fields: first, composed by men and
women, and the other by the material of science and technology, we must learn
to wield those for own good and for all humanity.
If, by chance, the most advanced techniques and the most
accomplished of knowledge are delivered to beings not properly formed, the
science and the technology is not be assimilated or, even worse, will be used
for purposes dwarfed and misled or disorder their purpose serving highly
destructive. Research centers, conclude that, at the fair of human abilities,
enough is to raise the share of hours of work and application to transcend poor
levels of a violin performer, and arrive to the degree of great interpreter.
It's all about practice, and practice. Clear that is that, always concerned to
merely repeat patterns musical devised, created and performed by others.
Following this example, we want to be not only good interpreters, but also
notable creators. Although all respectable, there it is a very larger gap
between Claudio Arrau, excellent interpreter and a Vivaldi or Mozart that their
mastering interpretation also transcend above all timeless musical pieces
creators beauty in history. We have the same zeal in the structuring of the
first body equation, i.e. the intrinsic perfection of our students, in order to
have access to traditional instruction, they are allow to freely study of what
they feel is right for them, being able to take the dark or obsolete, and
become visible all of those treasures useless and sleep inside the master
piece. It is the proper task of a Buonarroti, who with the chisel discarding
what is left, in block of a Carrara marble, gives birth to the Grand Moses or
David also ignored, and slept on the stone. In short, we want students who can
think who are aware of themselves and transform in real and efficient creators.
Therefore, the equation is complete when learners are have also delivered
notions of ethics and moral, with courses in philosophy, art, history, human
rights, anthropology and many more, then the equation will be complete for the
beginning to understand Social Business. They all ask, and what is a Social
Enterprise? Social enterprise is a business driven by a cause. In a social
business, the investors / owners gradually recover the money invested, but
cannot take all profits and/or dividends beyond an ethical point. The objective
of the investment is purely to achieve one or more social objectives through
the operation of business, there is a gain that is desired by the investors but
to certain point; they can continue investing or leave. The company must cover
all costs and benefits, while achieving a social objective, such as health
assistance for poor housing, financial services, poor nutrition, malnourished
children, clean drinking water supply, the introduction to renewable energy,
environment, climate change and more, in a normal business enterprise, but that
benefits society.
Seven Principles of Social Business:
1. Business objective will be to overcome poverty, or one or
more problems (such as education, health, access to technology and environment)
which threaten people and society.
2. Financial and economic sustainability
3. Investors recover investment they can continue or leave
4. When investment amount is amortized, and the company
benefits some may stay with the company for expansion and improvement.
5. Environmentally conscious
6. Workforce with better working conditions and salaries
higher market
7. And make it enjoyable
The concept of social business, "By defining
entrepreneurship in a larger sense we can change the character of capitalism
radically” - Prof. Yunus.
Make more humane capitalism. In our economic system, at the
present there are two main approaches in organizations. The first is the
private sector, where companies sell
products or services to make money. However, there are issues
important in our societies that are not covered by the private sector, and they
do not offer opportunities for profit. This usually leads to government
interventions to create legal and institutional frameworks to promote the
common good and to protect the interests of the weak members of society. When
governments and markets reach their limits, the charities can fill the void.
The problem is, of course, that the system does not work well enough. We live
in a world of terrible injustice and widespread poverty. Governments and
charities have the will to improve, but lack of efficiency and innovative
capacity of the private sector. Why not combine the both sides? We follow
normal business methods with the task of solving social problems such as
poverty and create – The social enterprises! It will be a completely new type
way of making business. Until now it has always been self-centered, founded
with the purpose of making money. Unlike traditional business social business
operates for the benefit of social needs enable companies to operate more
efficiently, productive and competitive. The social enterprise provides the necessary
framework for to all of us to address social problems by combining know-how
with the desire to improve the quality of life. Therefore, in Instead of being
self-centered, social business has to do with others. This method has
demonstrated the effectiveness of this new type of business: it is clear to
focus on poverty eradication, combined with their extreme economic
sustainability, and has generated numerous models with incredible growth
potential. Constitution opted to replicate the paradigm that is being applied
in the world successfully.
