title = "Systems Approach to Map Determinants of a Social Enterprise's Impact: A Case from India",
abstract = "This paper introduces a new approach to social entrepreneurship, namely systems map, to determine the path of achievement of a social enterprise's objectives. The paper uses the case-study approach. First, the factors that contribute towards the achievement of an enterprise's objectives are identified from the literature. The applicability of these factors to the case is discussed using primary data. Furthermore, the inter-linkages amongst these factors are determined and verified with data, with their final outcome being a social impact. Social impact-centric system map is the first such attempt to develop a tool for measurement of determinants of the progress of social enterprise.",

note = "Funding Information: Technology, according to Kirans, is an important factor affecting the impact created by the enterprise. Kirans act like carriers of technology to these remote villages. Kirans believe that there should be more computer and Internet facilities which will support their efforts. However, lack of financial support is a major constraint that prevents Unnati from expanding its activities to more villages in the district. Unnati started off with Hemangi{\textquoteright}s personal funds and even today Unnati depends on Hemangi{\textquoteright}s personal savings and some help from private donors who sponsor the education of individual children. Unnati is in the process of applying for institutional funding for financial support. Needless to say, higher the funding, better the technological support or accessibility to technology. This, in turn, will boost the innovativeness of the team which ultimately will positively improve the social impact.
