Abstract

Identifying a new approach to disaster response: spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions to alleviate suffering. In Spontaneous Venturing , Dean Shepherd and Trenton Williams identify and describe a new approach for responding to disaster and suffering: the local organizing of spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions -- the rapid emergence of a compassionate venture. This approach, termed by the authors "spontaneous venturing," can be more effective than the traditional "command-and-control" methods of large disaster relief organizations. It can customize and target resources and deliver them quickly, helping victims almost immediately. For example, during the catastrophic 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia -- the focal disaster for the book -- residents organized an impromptu relief center that collected and distributed urgently needed goods without red tape. Special bonds and friendships formed among the volunteers and victims; some were both volunteer and victim. Many victims were able to mobilize resources despite considerable personal losses. Shepherd and Williams describe the lasting impact of disaster and tell the stories of Victoria residents who organized in the aftermath of the bushfires. They consider the limitations of traditional disaster relief efforts and explain that when victims take action to help others, they develop behavioral, emotional, and assumptive resilience; venturing leads to social interaction, community connections, and other positive outcomes. Finally, they explore spontaneous venturing in a less-developed country, investigating the activities of Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The lesson for communities hit by disaster: find opportunities for compassionate action.

Abstract

This volume investigates how much governmental control is needed to reign in corporate and business greed and to make business "socially responsible" in Asia. It also questions whether business entities need to be reigned in by the government itself, or if other social, religious, or economic dynamics shape business entities in Asia. Moreover, it looks at how the Asian third sector influences BSR/CSR activities.

Abstract

De kerndoelstelling van sociale ondernemingen bestaat uit het creëren van sociale meerwaarde, tegelijkertijd moeten ze ook oog hebben voor economische en financiële elementen. Precies dat weinig evidente evenwicht blijkt vaak een struikelblok. Op basis van grondige research ontwikkelden de auteurs het Impact Driven Business Modelling (IDBM): een businessmodel dat de sociale en economische doelstellingen integreert. In dit boek leggen ze stapsgewijs de IDBM-methodiek uit en passen die toe op verschillende interessante cases (o.a. Streetwize, Roof Food). Het resultaat is een handig een werkinstrument voor lectoren en studenten, maar eveneens voor (toekomstige) ondernemers met een innovatief sociaal idee.Bron : http://www.academiapress.be
