Product Details
Could be used in entrepreneurship business strategy courses. This is a social entrepreneurship case that demonstrates the application of business best practices to a large rural community health organization. The case raises issues regarding growth/expansion and examines the conflict between the mission and strategic focus, asking the question: What are business model limits to "doing good?"
To show that not-for-profits and NGOs can be managed in the same manner as high-performance multiple-stakeholder for- profit businesses. To confront challenges that restrict a business from "serving the underserved" and the lesson learned from a costly expansion failure.
