Social businesses have the advantage of more lasting than charity-based organizations in the fight against poverty and community empowerment.
"In organizations (social)-based charity, you need fresh funds to carry out social activities again. Whereas in social business, new funds were not needed because the business will continue to run on its own," said the founder of Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, after the public lecture "the Role of Social Entrepreneurship in the Context of Poverty Alleviation "in Jakarta city, last week.
The winner of Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 said that the founder of social business is not taking advantage of the company because the company's profits are used to empower the poor such as micro-loans for business capital.
"If it (social business) does not develop, it will run itself because it is a profitable business. Owners Interest to solve the problem," said Yunus.
Another difference of social business process rather than a mechanism of social responsibility of the company is located at the design and the main purpose of the community empowerment activities.
"In a conventional business processes, you will be asked how much money the CEO can be made?" Muhammad Yunus said.
Meanwhile, Yunus continued, "You would not ask the CEO gains in social business, but will ask how the problem can be solved this year? Like the cure of children from malnutrition."
