  • Taming the Corporate Beast
    This essay was submitted as part of TNI's call for papers for its State of Power 2015 report. The essay was not shortlisted for the final report and therefore TNI does not take responsibility for its contents. However the Editorial Board appreciated the essay and it is posted here as recommended reading. Taming the Corporate Beast An earlier version of this article was published by Dollars and Sense in its July and November 2014 issues. Marianne Hill, Ph.D. The litany of economic disasters in national headlines changes regularly, but a recurring theme is the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in creating or exacerbating each new calamity. After the 2008 financial crisis, the near nuclear meltdown at Fukushima, the massive BP oil spill, and more, there is global awareness of the dire consequences of tolerating corporate misbehavior and greed. Despite their rhetoric, the priorities of TNCs are fundamentally at odds with the basic social goal of enhancing human freedoms and well-being. It can no longer be denied that the institutional framework regulating global giants requires a thorough transformation. Such a restructuring of our major institutions depends on the liberating knowledge that is being developed through the collective work of agents of change. In this article, I focus on efforts to bring structural changes to corporations that would bring new standpoints to corporate decision- making bodies and, in this way, change the values and control of corporates. I begin with a look at current soul-searching in the business community and efforts that have, at best, beautified the corporate beast.

  • Social Enterprises: Examining Accountability for Social and Financial Performance
    SOCIAL ENTERPRISES: EXAMINING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Gloria Astrid Guraieb Izaguirre B.A. Financial Management Principal supervisor: Associate Professor Belinda Luke Associate supervisor: Dr Craig Furneaux Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business (Research) School of Accountancy QUT Business School Queensland University of Technology December 2015 Keywords Accountability, social enterprise, financial, social, performance, non-profit, third sector, Australia Social enterprises: Examining accountability for social and financial performance i Abstract This study explores the accountability of social enterprises with respect to their dual objectives of social and financial performance. During the last two decades, social enterprises have been subject to increasing public attention and research. This interest derives from the potential role of social enterprises to pursue a social mission through a self-funding commercial business model, rather than relying on philanthropy to survive. However, there is little research exploring how social enterprises exercise their accountability for both social and financial performance. Given that social enterprises seek to balance dual objectives, maintaining financial sustainability for long-term survival while also fulfilling their social mission, it is important to examine how these organisations balance accountability for these potentially conflicting goals. There is limited literature on social enterprise accountability, however, as third sector organisations, literature on accountability of non-profit organisations is a useful point of reference. In the context of non-profit organisations, concerns of mission drift and prioritising accountability to donors (as a main funding source) have been raised, where financial objectives may inadvertently override social objectives. Given the social and financial objectives of social enterprises, these issues are also relevant to their accountability.

  • 3 Models of Creating Social Impact Through Trading Activities
    The 3 Models of Social Enterprise: Creating social impact through trading activities Introduction Within the emerging social investment market, the same words frequently mean different things to different people. In particular, the label “social enterprise” can be especially problematic. In part, this is because there is no shared understanding of the underlying business models beneath the “social enterprise” umbrella. For investors, as the number of organisations labelled as “social enterprises” proliferates, it is becoming increasingly urgent to agree, and then to adopt, a common methodology for disentangling the assessment of financial risk from the likelihood of an investment achieving social returns. Others have already written about ways in which social enterprises may be categorised and described1. We wish to contribute to this ongoing discussion by outlining Venturesome’s current thinking about this issue. This paper introduces a conceptual framework which we hope both investors and investees will find useful as a guide to thinking through how different business models create social impact - and the consequences of this for generating financial returns. The 3 Models Framework We believe that there are three fundamental ways that social impact2 can be created through trading activities: • Model 1 – Engage in a trading activity that has no direct social impact, make a profit, and then transfer some or all of that profit to another activity that does have direct social impact • Model 2 – Engage in a trading activity that does have direct social impact, but manage a trade-off between producing financial return and social impact • Model 3 – Engage in a trading activity that not only has direct social impact, but also generates a financial return in direct correlation to the social impact created It is important to note that these three models are statements of fact, not judgment.

  • Experiential Education Through Project Based Learning
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 152 ( 2014 ) 1256 – 1260 ERPA 2014 Experiential education through project based learning Douladeli Efstratia* ASPAITE-Roehampton University,Irakleio Attikis,14121,Greece Abstract Experiential learning is the key factor of acquiring knowledge through experiencing things. It addresses specific teaching methods, which are believed to achieve a beneficial outcome to the learning ability of students. Project Based Learning is such a modern teaching method. The core idea of Project Based Learning is to connect student’s experiences with school life and to provoke serious thinking as students acquire new knowledge. While there are some negative implications related to PBL, the method can leverage the advantages of modern teaching techniques. Finally, through Experiential Learning and in particular through PBL, connection with problems of real world is achieved. ©© 2014 2014 The The Authors.Authors.

It focuses on the learning process of the individual and concerns the development of student’s abilities, such as memory, creativity, and sensitivity to achieve knowledge (Mulligan, cited in Boud et al., 1993).

  • Academic Transformation: the Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario
    An agency of the Government of Ontario Ian D. Clark, Greg Moran, Michael L. Skolnik, and David Trick. Academic Transformation: The Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario. Montreal and Kingston: Queen’s Policy Studies Series, McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2009. The book is available for purchase at http://mqup.mcgill.ca/book.php?bookid=2363 (English only). The thesis of this book is that the present approach to the provision of baccalaureate education in Ontario is not sustainable and is in need of significant modification. The stage for the present approach was set by two higher education policy decisions that were made in the 1960s: (1) that the colleges would have no role in the provision of baccalaureate credit activity; and (2) that the publicly supported universities would have complete autonomy in deciding on their purpose, mission, and objectives. While the universities had been primarily teaching institutions until the 1960s, since then a single idea of the mission of the university—the research university—has been adopted by all. A key element of the research university model to which the university community in Ontario has subscribed is that of the teacher-researcher ideal: that undergraduate students should be taught only by professors who are active researchers. Not only have all the universities embraced the research university model, but in the past two decades there has been a growing expectation from the public and the government for universities to produce knowledge that will enhance Canada’s economic well-being and international economic competitiveness. This new model has fostered substantial growth in university research, brought changes to the traditional research paradigm, and introduced new costs—both human and financial.
