The New Heroes . What is Social Entrepreneurship?
Photo: Mitch Wilson A social entrepreneur identifies and solves social problems on a large scale. Just as business entrepreneurs create and transform whole industries, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss in order to improve systems, invent and disseminate new approaches and advance sustainable solutions that create social value. Unlike traditional business entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs primarily seek to generate "social value" rather than profits. "Social entrepreneurs identify resources where people only see problems. David Bornstein, author of How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. Identifying and solving large-scale social problems requires a committed person with a vision and determination to persist in the face of daunting odds.
Économie circulaire
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L'économie circulaire est une expression générique désignant un concept économique qui s'inscrit dans le cadre du développement durable et s'inspirant notamment des notions d'économie verte, d’économie de l'usage ou de l'économie de la fonctionnalité, de l'économie de la performance et de l'écologie industrielle (laquelle veut que le déchet d'une industrie soit recyclé en matière première d'une autre industrie ou de la même). Son objectif est de produire des biens et services tout en limitant fortement la consommation et le gaspillage des matières premières, et des sources d'énergies non renouvelables ; Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Elle s'inspire notamment de Michael Braungart et de William McDonough ou plus exactement de leur formulation de la théorie du Du berceau au berceau (formalisée en 2002).

Social entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship is the process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems. More specifically, social entrepreneurs adopt a mission to create and sustain social value. They pursue opportunities to serve this mission, while continuously adapting and learning. They draw upon appropriate thinking in both the business and nonprofit worlds and operate in all kinds of organizations: large and small; new and old; religious and secular; nonprofit, for-profit, and hybrid.[1] Business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, but social entrepreneurs also take into account a positive return to society. Social entrepreneurship practiced in a world or international context is called international social entrepreneurship.[3] Modern definition[edit] There are continuing arguments over precisely who counts as a social entrepreneur. History[edit] Although the terms are relatively new, social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship can be found throughout history.

Interviews of Entrepreneus
At Under30CEO we think big. We recently published a list of our Top 50 Most Motivational People on the web and things got a little nuts. The article created incredible buzz all over the web and most importantly we fired up our audience to go out and make something happen. As young entrepreneurs it’s important that we keep swinging for the fences. Super successful investors like Ron Conway say they’d rather invest in an 18 year old Mark Zuckerberg than a 31 year old seasoned entrepreneur because the young Sean Parker types truly think the sky is the limit. At Under30CEO we’re going to carry that mentality into the interviews that we conduct on the site. The list below is the most incredible people to learn from as entrepreneurs and we intend to interview them all…somehow.

De nouveaux statuts juridiques pour les entreprises aux Etats-Unis
Aux Etats-Unis, les entrepreneurs sociaux ne sont pas les mieux armés pour défendre les spécificités de leurs entreprises. La législation en vigueur dans la plupart des Etats est en effet peu adaptée à l’intégration d’objectifs sociaux aux activités des entreprises et la loi autorise même les actionnaires à poursuivre les dirigeants d’entreprises s’ils estiment que ceux-ci ont failli à leur tâche dans la maximisation des profits. Pourtant, après que la Californie ait été le sixième Etat à adopter une loi sur le statut de "Benefit corporation" pour les entreprises (après le New Jersey, la Virginie, Hawaii, le Vermont, le Maryland et l’Etat de New York), le gouveneur Jerry Brown a décidé de faire passer une deuxième mesure pour soutenir la création d’entreprise sociale.
