Discuss approaches in general.

Measuring Outputs

edit

For the wiki (outputs of educators and students) see Indicators of progress with the portal and associated learning resources.

Prediction Market Concepts

edit

One "idea" is to apply the concepts of prediction markets. Remember that for social entrepreneurship it will about predicting the size of the positive social impact. This might depend on economic viability ... though it might not.

How can this be done?

Appreciative Valuation

edit

The philosophy and principles of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), seem particularly well suited to Social Entrepreneurship.

Why would that be?

How does one evaluate ideas, projects and/or initiatives in an appreciative paradigm?

Are there advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
