Not just for profit

In Business asks what’s happening when organisations start being businesslike about not being businesses.

They’re called social enterprises, invented by people called social entrepreneurs. They do often make profits, but that’s not their main or only aim.

Social enterprises are suddenly fashionable ... politicians of all complexions are signing up to support the movement.

But what are they, and why are they so important?

About the programme

We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.

In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
