Comment on Social Business vs. Social Enterprise by Andreas

Nice comparison. Great that you really dive into these definitions. About one and a half year ago when Yunues book came out, i also spent a lot of time thinking what are the difference between a social business, social entrepreneurship. I see Social business as Yunus proposed it just as a way to solve social problems more effetively with business methods so the business does not depend on funds. Thats because he says that if somebody invest in a business he will get all his money back. To draw the line between a normal business and a social business he says that the investors should not get a dividend and all surpluses should be reinvested in the business. But like a social entreprise as you write the main goal of a social business is to solve a social problem.
