Week 8 Reflection

     This week, we learned the basic ideas and operations of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) businesses, which are concerned with enhancing their local communities, economies, and environments. In addition, I realized how they created a sustainable business by successfully achieving all of their objectives in the aforementioned areas. Additionally, the triple bottom line encourages corporations to prioritize profit, people, and the environment equally. They are made Certified B Corporations thanks to these. I think it's pretty impressive of all the businesses to accomplish this sustainability.

    "Triple Bottom Line (3 Pillars): Sustainability in Business" was the section I liked the best.This lesson may be summed up in a single video. I appreciate how they clearly explain the triple bottom line and use research to offer new perspectives. It teaches businesses a distinctive way of thinking about why they should integrate sustainability into their global operations. The triple bottom line is connected to people's planet profit, natural capitalism, life cycle assessment, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and biomimicry. This social innovation in business, in my opinion, is wonderful and opens up a variety of opportunities for a better world—both socially and economically.

    As a result of its focus on advancing the common good and protecting the environment without sacrificing financial benefit, I believe CSR has gained popularity in recent years. Running a company with a social goal in mind and keeping one's pledges without exceptions from the beginning is the ideal choice for the market, investors, and social entrepreneurs. I have no doubt that new CSR with various objectives or targeted industries will emerge over time. Nevertheless, they are all focused on enhancing and advancing the market (economy), the environment, and people.

Week 12 Reflection

      This week we learned about Self reliance & Microedit and Gap Analysis.  Learning more about different entrepreneurs and the changes they helped to bring about, sometimes through governmental reform as well as their own insight, was one of the things I found to be the most helpful.       I believe that the ABCs of Self-Reliance from the Gap Analysis studying portion was one of the items that particularly caught my attention. Although it is ABC, I found it interesting that the "C" in cognition—which is what really starts the change or the action that motivates the behavior—is where it all really starts. This knowledge, in my opinion, is a game-changer that I apply for my personal own use in my life. I believe it can not only benefit myself but for others as well.      I have identified a few places where I need to apply the ABCs to myself after applying them to others. Doing new or even challenging activities is something th...

Week 5 Reflection

           This week we learned all about Solution & Impact Evaluation. We started with the Theory of Change, it is very useful. It is basically how an organization's day-to-day activities relate to its mission and overall goals and outcomes. Once we know this, we can measure how successful they are. We were also introduced to an amazing organization that is making a great impact: The Rooftop Garden, where they use disabled people to learn new skills, be in the sun, and socialize.     We also learned how to analyze our results through, outputs, outcomes, and impact. These are useful when trying to understand the results of a nonprofit. Outputs are easy to count, outcomes can be difficult to measure and impact is actually very difficult to measure. Kevin Starr's Lasting Impact helps me understand how to measure a non-profit's success in a deeper way. He utilized specific questions and taught us how to look at a successful mission statement.

Week 11 Reflection

      This week we learned about Impact Investing in the article "Impact investing is hot right now. Here's why." We learned that  Impact investing is currently a popular and growing trend. Impact investing is a great way for investors to align their financial goals with their desire for social and environmental impact. It offers a way to generate financial returns while also making a difference in the world! Impact investment uses market-based ideas to overcome social and environmental challenges. It's priority is long-term effect and sustainable solutions.       I enjoyed doing the Application assignment this week and seeing which corporations used which other types of companies to invest in causes for the greater good. How each of them worked and collaborated with others to increase their impact on social concerns. One of the things I struggled with was that many of the companies we looked at were all doing good for other countries, and the one...
