[Review] Social Venture Living Library Seminar

Social Venture Living Library Seminar

Date : 25 June 2012

Place : Seoul, Korea

Number of participants : about 100 people

Contents : Share information and experiences with people who managing social venture



In this seminar foreigners would be hard to understand if he doesn't know Korean.

So in this blog, I would write summary only.



Summary


1. In Korea, Anyone who build social venture but fail to manage and become bankrupt, would be hard to recover and build social venture again.

As soon as you become backrupt, you and your family become the poorest.

According to the statistics, probability of successful social venture is about 1 %



2. In case of social venture, it's hard to start work related to manufacturing industry because of lack of money. The people who start social venture usually do contents(platform) business.



Brief Opinion


1. Summary 1 problem mainly comes from social system in Korea. It's very sad to accept.

2. I am sorry because there is no discussion about new and creative business item.

Changed blog name because this blog is not by research lab in reality, but by private purpose.

Plan : I will offer a detailed statistics, related to web accessibility problem of Korean social enterprises

Plan in near future


I will offer a detailed statistics, related to web accessibility problem of Korean social enterprises


The reason for this is to offer everyone more objective information


Now I am visiting Korean social enterprise's homepages mainly in Seoul and Gyeonggi province and finding problems using firebug tool if there is a problem in websites.

As soon as the work will finish, I will offer corresponding result statistics using graph.



And former report related to web standard will become closed-door because it seems to be insufficient in objectiveness.
