What is the difference between a social enterprise and an NGO?

According to the explanation of the Social Enterprise Strategic Research Center of the Social Enterprise Research Institute (FSDC), a social enterprise research institute, it can be roughly considered that social enterprise refers to the operation of such a company or organization through enterprise and business methods (management, marketing, finance, etc.) in order to achieve a certain social purpose (the so-called social purpose, that is, to promote the development of public policy, public service, public welfare, economy and culture). Most social enterprises have a clear purpose to promote the solution of a social problem, provide services or products to consumers, and achieve their social goals by pursuing financial self-sufficiency and surplus.

That is, FSDC Social Enterprise Strategy Research Center pointed out: business strategy to solve social and public problems.

In contrast, traditional NGOs are not driven by financial interests and rely more on external fundraising or help. Ling Longzi, a mentor of free dreams, believes that within a certain range, NGOs can be regarded as a special organizational model of social enterprises, and social enterprises can also be regarded as an extension of NGOs. Social enterprises have multi-party participation, and traditional NGOs are doing it; For example, Hong Kong has a tens of billions of social enterprises to support start-ups; There are also commercial companies to support it, such as HSBC having a social enterprise business centre to help and serve social enterprises, and more broadly, the corporate social responsibility department within the enterprise can also be considered doing something similar.

NGOs are about doing good deeds with other people's money, and social enterprises are doing good deeds to make money.

Not equal. NGOs are non-** organizations, while social organizations include ** organizations, that is to say, social organizations include a wider scope.

Social organization is the main body of public relations, and it is one of the three major components of public relations. What public relations refers to as "social organization" is narrowly defined. It is a common activity group established by people in order to effectively achieve a specific goal according to a certain purpose, system and system.

On February 9, 2021, it was reported that the Ministry of Civil Affairs recently launched a new version of the "China Social Organization Government Service Platform" to further promote "Internet + government services". According to the platform, up to now, civil affairs departments at all levels have registered more than 900,000 social organizations, including 2,292 national social organizations.

Definition. The emergence of social organization is driven by the emergence of functional groups and the trend of group formalization. In the process of social evolution, on the one hand, functional groups naturally evolved into formal social organizations; On the other hand, the formalization of some social groups has also created the form of organization.

Some scholars believe that organizations can be formed through three reasons: specialization of social functions, social mobilization, and social violence. The organization of modern human society also has the above-mentioned characteristics, but they are different. For example, various multinational corporations are organizations evolved from functional groups, while the military has always been a product of the formalization of combat groups.

The view that social organization can only arise through the social division of labor is one-sided.

NGOs are non-** organizations. Non-** organizations are emerging forms of organization that play an increasingly important role in the field of public administration. The term non-** organization comes from foreign countries.

According to research, the term first appeared in an important document when the United Nations was established in 1945, when it mainly referred to non-official organizations that played a neutral role in international affairs, such as the International Red Ten Hidden Characters Society and Save the Children.

There is no such thing as an absolute lucky one, so whoever wants to be inspired by suffering should not lack the necessary opportunities and materials. The world is hot and cold, and good luck is not enough. The kind of shallow person who gets carried away when he gets lucky, I doubt that the suffering can make him more profound.

As long as a person truly appreciates the despair and chaos in ordinary suffering, he will understand how pompous all the rhetoric that glorifies suffering is, and how contrived all the gestures that show off suffering are.

Analysis: In 1830, during his visit to the United States, the French scholar Alexis de Tocqueville felt that there was a unique spirit of volunteerism in American society. He believes that it is precisely this spirit, and it is precisely because of the existence of a strong non-governmental organization in the United States in addition to the first enterprise that the United States has created the prosperity of the United States.

Since then, the role of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in socio-economic development has been recognized.

NGO, an abbreviation of the term "non-governmentanization", refers to an association, society, association, charitable trust, non-profit company or other legal person that is not considered a sector under a specific legal system, and is not a non-profit organization.

The global rise of NGOs began in the 80s of the 20th century. With the increasing prominence of global population, poverty and environmental problems, it has been found that relying only on the traditional ** and market levels cannot solve the problem of sustainable human development. In response, NGOs have grown rapidly and constituted a new level of society.

NGOs are not power-driven; Nor is it an economy, especially not driven by economic interests. The driving force behind NGOs is volunteerism.

A developed modern society needs a well-developed non-** organization. According to the survey, the total number of non-** organizations in the United States exceeds 2 million, the total funding exceeds 500 billion, and the staff exceeds 9 million. Such a large and active non-governmental organization (NGO) is matched by the institutional structure of the United States, which is "big society, small society."

This system is related to the tradition of immigrants helping each other at the beginning of the founding of the United States.

The economy of non-organizations is mainly social and private donations. The United States has the power to feast on its powerful various private ** that will support all kinds of NGOs in the United States. The state has established a tax deductible system for the portion of donations from taxation to encourage donations.

NGOs are the most effective "pressure reducing valves" and "stabilizers", and they also have mental functions that cannot be ignored. There are two types of NGOs in China: one is the top-down NGO, which has a long history and "semi-official" characteristics; The other is mostly established spontaneously by non-governmental people.

At present, there are about 300 well-known non-governmental spontaneous public welfare NGOs in the country. Chinese NGOs are mainly concentrated in the fields of environmental protection, women's fields, and poverty alleviation, such as "Friends of Nature", "Global Village" and "Green Home Volunteers" in Beijing, and "Green Friends" in Tianjin.
