| COLUMN Recently, I was asked to judge in the Goldman Sachs
Global Social Venture Competition, involving some of the leading
business schools (London Business School, Columbia, and Haas). This
year, teams from North America to Kenya, India to Finland, France
to Columbia and the UK to Japan submitted over 110 business plans
for review in the first round, with approximately 60 plans going
forward to the Semi-Final. Most business plan competitions are focused on maximizing the return on financial investment, while this one looked specifically at the social return on investment. The winning entries clearly calculated and demonstrated the beneficial impact of their business on society as well as the shareholders.
