How would you feel about being a corporate entrepreneur who is part of an existing organization? How about as an independent or social entrepreneur starting your own organization from scratch?All businesses need to break even financially to be seen as workable. For-profit businesses also typically measure how much profit they make as one metric of their success. But businesses can also measure the impact they have on their communities, customers, economies and environment. What kind of impact measure might it make sense to consider for the proposed market? Does it change depending on the kind of CSI entrepreneurship approach you choose?
One impact measure that could be used is the number of people who live in a food desert who has a lessened burden due to availability of the food service. Another measure could be the total amount of food distributed per week, or month. If the approach is a for-profit organization, profits will be a more important measure than if a social organization.
