| Abstract: | This paper suggests that the emergence of a new form of organization - community enterprise - offers an alternative mechanism for corporations to behave in socially responsible ways. They are identified by their generation of income through trading, rather than philanthropy and/or government subsidy, to finance their social goals. Community enterprises change essentially the nature of any collaboration by allowing relationships to proceed on the basis of mutual advantage, thereby broadening their appeal and scope. Thus partnerships build capacity and enfranchise communities in a way that avoids the paternalism that has traditionally characterised relationships between corporations and voluntary sector organizations. |
