Thoughts on the Strategic Development of Social Enterprises in China - A Case Study of the Shenzhen Canyou Model
The recent discussion of social enterprises has attracted wide public attention. Aiming atpromoting public interest, social entrepreneurs regard the management of certain social causes as a risky business activity. While the study of social enterprises in China is mainly about the basic theories and practices in foreign countries, or about non-governmental charitable organizations, the practical in-depth research on social enterprises is relatively rare in China. This research focuses on the development of Shenzhen Canyou Sottware Ltd.. After summarizing its growth features against theoretical definition of social enterprises with the data from the company and its external context, the researchers analyze the current as well as latent problems for Canyou relating to human resources, financial and strategic management, and put forward tentative suggestions to both Canyou and other social enterprises in China.
