1 Can you identify some social entrepreneurs in your community?

Yes the leader of our City has the will to solve the problem in our community. He has the effort for the
positive changes in our society through their initiatives. One of the examples is the very low average of
the people in the community without work. They implement livelihood programs for the community, to
give opportunity for the people to have work and to for the individuals chance to excel.

2 Name three dimensions that distinguish the mind-set of social entrepreneurs from
business entrepreneurs.
There are differences. Social entrepreneurs are not as overtly positive and confident as mainstream
entrepreneurs. They are more likely to fear failure than their business counterparts and are more likely to
say that lack of finance will stop them. Yes, both business and social entrepreneurs have a mission and
values. But for social entrepreneurs, the social mission is central. For business entrepreneurs, return on
investment and profit are central. Both wish to create superior value, but that value is very different.

3 Are sustainability entrepreneurs limited exclusively to environmental matters? Why


not? Name three sustainable enterprises that don’t treat the environment.
No, the sustainability entrepreneurs have a unique mind-set. They seek to combine the environmental,
economic and social components. First is the Biomimicry
Biomimicry is the study of nature to find creative ways to develop products/services that are far more
innovative and sustainable then what humans currently produce.
Bluewash
From green to blue. Bluewash is a derogatory term describing the relationship between companies which
sign up to the Global Compact and The United Nations to allude to a social conscience.

*1% for the Planet*


"One Percent for the Planet is an alliance of companies that recognize the true cost of doing business and
donate 1% of their sales to environmental organizations worldwide.

4 Does ethical wealth creation apply to making money out of climate change?
No, Sustainability is not just a new form of making profit – it is a new form of ethical wealth creation,
which brings us now to entrepreneurial ethics

5 Why does doing business in certain Asian countries raise ethical considerations for the
entrepreneur?
For me, the low cost of labour in some Areas in Asian countries like Philippines and neighbour country
are the main reasons, bribery may include also.
And there is a growing interest in ethics in China, and in other parts of Asia, due to two key factors:

1.The increasing expectations of American and European companies that they be able to operate in an
manner ethically consistent with practices in their home country. Part of this is that they be able to select
business partners and agents who share their ethical values and practices. These Western companies are
being encouraged to achieve this consistency by their own governments, by media in their home
countries, and by public sentiment.
2. The desire of Asian companies, and increasingly even Chinese companies, to deploy capital abroad by
forming joint ventures with American and European companies or by buying Western companies . This
leads to substantial pressures for those firms to exhibit "Western" ethical practices - from their business
partners and from Western governments.
6 If you were an Australian or a New Zealander, would you pay bribes while doing
business in China?
In my own opinion my answer is no, we all know bribery is illegal we must be just, in doing business for
us also to be more sustainable and be strong in our path. Doing illegal is against the law, how someone be
good in the eye of people if you are doing such crime? Your reputation will decrease, and if there is no
choice. Don’t conduct business in the country that bribe is present.

7 What are your opinions on the questions of greed and entrepreneurial crime?
Well, all their goods were come from illegal activities they have done. Just to make profit was their major
concerned. They don’t have empathy for the thing to lose. They do illegal trades, they are no care to steal
to the innocent people, even to destroyed environment, just to earn is their concerned. Greed makes them
heartless for their surroundings.

8 What is social marginality theory?


Social marginality describes the state of being excluded from society or certain parts of society. These
people lack the social power or accepted social norms that make them accepted by the rest of the
community.
9 Is it possible disadvantaged people can actually become more entrepreneurial than
other people?
Yes, absolutely! I give you some example of the disadvantage people who actually become entrepreneur.
In the Philippines we have so called street food vendors, selling goods for people for their necessity; it’s
like the famous fast food chains in our country, that give us satisfaction to our babbling stomach in
affordable priced, ballot penoy, fishballs, and ihaw-ihaw vendors are some examples. They were the
actual entrepreneur we face in the daily life basis.
10 What are the barriers and restraints that disadvantaged entrepreneurs face?
The barriers that disadvantage entrepreneurs faced are
Social and Cultural Barriers
Social and cultural barriers refer to those that people encounter when dealing with the different spatial
particularities, religions, languages and societal norms.

Financial Barriers
Access to the appropriate finance is one of the most crucial resources for business survival, development
and growth.

Human Capital
Human capital is defined as the set of skills and knowledge gained though the learning process of an
individual to enhance productivity

Social Capital
In this context is defined as the resources that entrepreneurs identify, access and leverage through their
personal networks or more formally as the links to people based on a sense of common identity, including
distant friends, colleagues and associates.

Size of enterprise, product, service and market limitations.


A final common feature of the businesses run by people at a disadvantage is their relative small size and
the business sectors within which they operate. This can restrict their capability for growth and
sustainability in the longer run. Smaller firms are much more vulnerable to the effects of external
environments and internal disruptions because of their limited resource base. This makes absorbing
external or internal shocks, such as an economic downturn or a key member of staff leaving, problematic
for survival. Given the relative small size of businesses run by disadvantaged entrepreneurs, especially
females, younger and senior business owners, this places their longer term sustainability at risk
