Semester Reflection
Throughout the venture, we learned...
- Have a thorough understanding of the context.
- Treat your stakeholders with respect and equality.
- Empathy is important to bring more perspectives to the venture.
- Respect and properly integrate indigenous knowledge into the venture.
- A desirable solution should be technologically innovative, economically sustainable, environmentally benign, and socially acceptable.
- A successful venture should be able to provide enough motivations to its stakeholders.
- Making profit is not the goal; it is the mean to achieve the goal.
- Partnership on the ground and the approval from the community leader are vital for the entry of our venture.
- Define the outcomes of the social mission.
- Don't be afraid to make changes on the original business plan or idea as long as the goal is comfirmed.
