Team and Project Introductions – Social Entrepreneurship

We are a team of four people. William and Marvin from Makerere University Business School and Xin Yi and Nicolas from Copenhagen Business School. We are doing research on social entrepreneurship in Kampala. Instead of delving into the question of whether the tangible outcome of these social enterprises have been a success, the focus of our project revolves around the differences and similarities on the actual processes used to create social value of the individuals and the organizations that contribute to do so. This has allowed to study whether and how learning takes place in the process, and to find out how social entrepreneurs detect and manage problems and errors and whether they learn from those failures and change their behavior accordingly. 

The people we have interviewed have been very inspiring and the teamwork process has been all the way through a very fun(!) and interesting experience so far.
