With reference to social entrepreneurs, 3 major categories emerge from the videos. First category, the associations which largely depend on subsidies but tend to be more financially autonomous, which may be the case with Olivierís association in Sport dans la Ville, for example. 2nd category, hybrid social enterprises which are partly financially autonomous like a conventional company, but which also receive aid from the State, for example when they are helping to rehabilitate the long-term unemployed. They can be small like Handishare with Patricia or very large like Vitamine T with AndrÈ. Finally the 3rd category, the social business type companies, i.e. which are financially autonomous, primarily funded by private financing and in which the profits are for the most part reinvested. This can include start-ups, young firms with a strong potential for growth such as Sparnews with ClÈmentine. With reference to social intrapreneurs, 2 major categories are mentioned in FranÁoisí video Rouvier of Renault. The social business type models and the so-called base of the pyramid models. In both cases, the multinational company is meeting a need by providing a product or service for the poorest
people. But the difference between the 2 is that in social business, the company refrains from making any significant profits and from remunerating its shareholders in relation to specific activities. It just aims to achieve a balanced budget and not to lose money. This is the case with Renault Mobilise which offers affordable mobility solutions to the most financially vulnerable populations in France for whom a car is a necessity but which has become too expensive, thereby enabling them to buy or to repair their car. Whereas in the so-called base of the pyramid model the company wants to be profitable in order to remunerate the shareholders of the company. That is what Renault is trying to do in the emerging countries. These few videos were therefore intended to help you appreciate the diversity of the entrepreneurs for change there too by observing their vision for economic sustainability and the choice of their legal structure. We are not advocating any one voice in preference to another, all have their advantages and are complementary.
