I think that social entrepreneurship is a very vague term. While I was trying to look for an article about social enterprises, I came across social intrapreneurs. I found it really interesting. The thing about social intrapreneurs is that they start to make a difference in their corporate or company. Instead of starting from scratch, they can work within a company that is already stable and established and help a group of beneficiaries. I feel that this can actually produce more results and make more difference. For social enterprises, it is very easy to start up in singapore, but it is very hard to sustain, and their awareness is always low compared to established companies. Therefore I think this would actually help a lot of people. However, there are cons to being a social intrapreneurs too.
