Session: Strategic Partnerships Between Multinational Corporations And Social Entrepreneurs

Thu, March 27, 10:00 - 12:00
2008

Is it possible to strike a win-win partnership between a global corporation and a social enterprise? What are the drivers for partnership and how do they play out in reality? Using current case studies, this session will explore the benefi ts of partnership – including access to ideas, inspiration, capital and markets – as well as the challenges in making a successful partnership. Participants will take part in dynamic ‘empathy exercises’ in order to better understand the internal drivers and constraints on both sides of the fence.
