PLACE-BASED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
“The defining purpose of social entrepreneurship, regardless of the financial
model is to effect social change by altering the social, economic, and
political day to day realities at the local level.”
Johanna Mair (emphasis added)

12. PLACE-BASED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Research Based-Key Factors- Examples
1- Re-Imagining Capitalism
2-The increasing numbers and types of Hybrid economic/social organizations
3-Models of place-based sustainable community development
4-The need to support the sustainable growth of social enterprises
-83 percent of social enterprises staying operational for less than 3 years, Echoing Green
5-Collaborating with the local ecosystem on economic development
6- Economic Challenges, Micro, Macro
-“81 percent of US households experienced flat or declining market incomes 2005-2014”
- “Business Starts in USA now at a 40 year low”

14. “It’s time to radically revise the deeply-etched beliefs about what business is for,
whose interests it serves, and how it creates value.
We need a new form of capitalism for the 21st century, one dedicated to the promotion
of greater well-being rather than the single-minded pursuit of growth and profits;
one that doesn’t sacrifice the future for the near term;
one with an appropriate regard for every stakeholder; and one that holds leaders
accountable for all of the consequences of their actions.
In other words, we need a capitalism that is profoundly principled, fundamentally patient,
and socially accountable.”
Polly LaBarre, Harvard Business Review, February 27, 2012
RE-IMAGINING CAPITALISM
