  • Crafting Alliances
    05-Wei-45241.qxd 2/14/2007 5:16 PM Page 191 CHAPTER 5 Crafting Alliances egardless of how successful a social enterprise is at mobilizing funds, most R organizations will inevitably face resource and capacity constraints as a limiting factor to achieving their mission. The resources that any single organi- zation brings to bear on a social problem are often dwarfed by the magnitude and complexity of most social problems. Thus, social entrepreneurs often pursue alliance approaches as a means to mobilizing resources, financial and nonfinan- cial, from the larger context and beyond their own organizational boundaries, to achieve increased mission impact. Social enterprise alliances among nonprofits, nonprofits and business, nonprofits and government, and even across all sectors in the form of tripartite alliances between nonprofit, government, and business have become increasingly common in recent years. Because alliances capitalize on the resources and capacities of more than one organization and capture syn- ergies that would otherwise often go unrealized, they have the potential to gen- erate mission impact far beyond what the individual contributors could achieve independently. This chapter first describes some alliance trends in the social sec- tor and illustrates them with case examples. Next, we introduce a conceptual framework that can be helpful for developing an alliance strategy. Finally, we briefly introduce the chapter’s two case studies, which offer readers an opportu- nity for in-depth analysis of a range of alliance approaches. ALLIANCE TRENDS Increased Competition Increased competition due to a growing number of nonprofits coupled with recent overall declines in social sector funding have contributed to a dramatic 191 05-Wei-45241.qxd 2/14/2007 5:16 PM Page 192 192 Entrepreneurship in the Social Sector increase in the number and form of social enterprise alliances.

  • The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? by BRUCE KOGUT *
    ID#190414 CU242 PUBLISHED ON MAY 13, 2019 The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? BY BRUCE KOGUT * Introduction Uber Technologies, the privately held ride-sharing service and logistics platform, suffered a series of PR crises during 2017 that culminated in the resignation of Travis Kalanick, cofounder and longtime CEO. Kalanick was an acclaimed entrepreneur, building Uber from its local San Francisco roots to a worldwide enterprise in eight years, but he was also a habitual rule- breaker. 1 In an effort to put the recent past behind the company, the directors of Uber scheduled a board meeting for October 3, 2017, to vote on critical proposals from new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi that were focused essentially on one question: How should Uber be governed now that Kalanick had stepped down as CEO? Under Kalanick, Uber had grown to an estimated $69 billion in value by 2017, though plagued by scandal. The firm was accused of price gouging, false advertising, illegal operations, IP theft, sexual harassment cover-ups, and more.2 As Uber’s legal and PR turmoil increased, Kalanick was forced to resign as CEO, while retaining his directorship position on the nine- member board. His June 2017 resignation was hoped to calm the uproar, but it instead increased investor uncertainty. Some of the firm’s venture capital shareholders (VCs) marked down their Uber holdings by 15% (Vanguard, Principal Financial), while others raised the valuation by 10% (BlackRock).3 To restore Uber’s reputation and stabilize investor confidence, the board in August 2017 unanimously elected Dara Khosrowshahi as Uber’s next CEO.
