The Global Institute of Social Business aims to help compile essential maps of microeconomics - eg Micromap Series 1 = social business stockmarkets or funds
endorsed by significant patrons such as royal families or CEOs of Global Brand Leaders
We
also maintain definitions of Institute of Social Businesses relevant to editing the Yunus Journal of Social Business
The purpose of Yunus Institute of Social Business
(Type 1 - eg Glagow University ) is to network 2010s urgency for a complete review of every module
that a university or business school teaches impacting sustainability of globalisation- be this systems practice review economic,
social, natural, cross-cultural or human- who's
been collaborating & calling for such a review?. This is similar to the review that Kalam called for in Indi9a during his last year of Presidency.
33 years ago my dad, identified as "unacknowledged giant" in an obituary in The Economist June 2010 started debating with entrepreneurs and anyone who might be interested
http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html why the 2010s would be humanity's most exciting decade - the one where the competences of networking
youth would exponentially determine whether the globalisation that worldwide leaders and democratic peoples spin
sustains future generations or not. http://erworld.tv Apart from the urgent timeline, this is not a new debate for anyone who has studied either system-practice
experts like Gandhi or system theory experts like Einstein (both of whom cross-checked each others labours and logics) but
in 2010 it shocks me how many people I meet say "why is it that nobody ever told me this was a debate of world changing
- if not world ending - maginitude".
Today the person most famous for celebrating this debate, as far as dad or I can search, is Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus whom I have met 13 times including 4 visits to his most
wonderful co-workers (see our videos http://yunus10000.com or ask for 8 hours of transcripts) in his offices situated in the Mirpur slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh .
This web is dedicated both to my dad (probanly one of the most remarkble microeconomists of his generation) and Muhammad Yunus. It tries to guide you to links to practice networks of dr yunus (and
those who hve summited round him since 1997 http://www.microcreditsummit.org with extraordinary goals like reaching 100 million familes in less than decade with solutions to ending the most extreme poverty
that a child can be born into).
Should you (or young people you know) wish to explore whether
2010s is indeed the most exciting decade to be alive, please contact me Chris.Macrae@yahoo.co.uk , www.isabellawm.com association of family foundations - skype isabellawm ; office washington dc (1) 301 881 1655

This
web has a double purpose:
to map Institutes of Social Business which are emerging as University partnerships with Dr
Yunus all over the world - eg the capital Glasgow http://grameeneconomicslab.com/ nearest the origins of my family tree over the last 200 years.
to offer each year in this decade a top 20 cross-section
of social business designs being mathematiclly congruent to the missing system design of sustainability that my father's 1976 survey of Entrepreneurial Revolution in The Economist 25 December invited people sans frontieres to
search out, collaborate in social actions and celebrate with joy. Many of these SB are inspired by Yunus but we also delight
in looking out for SB's that he may wish he had conceived!
Compare dad's last articlehttp://yunusforum.net/?p=80 on the compound risks of global financial services as big bang has viciously compounded citizens into debt
and investment bubbles for nigh on a quarter of a century with the 3 safest and most economical bankings systems including
two from Micro Bangla!: Grameen which invests in the productivity of the pooerst vilage mums in rural villges in such a
way tht they reinvest in sustining community and their next generation; BRAC which redesigns entire rural industry sectors
eg poultry -to be owned in trust for nd by those who work in it thereby stucturing optimal wages for each
of the component jobs; Jamii Bora in kenya which has extended microcredit to mobile youth in semi-urban slum areas- here
the loyatly shown in repayment of loans is built by the segments of young people themselves - eg the former male
thieves see starting up small buinesses as their last chance of life as go the sector of girls who would otherwise
have been prostitutes or abused.
A Social Business System is transparently mapped round a more
purposeful (life enhancing) goal than has ever beeneconomicallycompounded before. The Three in one map of a social business system integrates
1 Multi-win productivity system design
2 Innovation through a conflict situation including all compound drivers -eg cultural, investment
and constitutional transformations required
2 Example Innovation through conflict by and forBangladesh peoples of1970s:
Rural women were must underemployed., least resourced and abused population segment
on planet- one of the world's worst ever cases of poverty as a top-down broken system trapping both women and children of
their next generation
Bank for poor required multiple cultural changes and a constitutional
one which was implemented just in time (Bangladesh Law 1983) for the whole country's continuous generation to enjoy an entrepreneurially
different compound future from top-down post-colonial government and the aid systems governments take their toll on.
THE OPEN WORLDWIDE CONSEQUENCE: TIME
IS NOW FOR MAPPING ECONOMICS OF YOUTH
From
this innovation microeconomists were able to correct macroeconomic errors and change globalisation just in time to make 2010s
the most exciting decade - the one when youth returned "whole truth" sustainability goals to be the cross-cultural
consciousness of media and knowledge replication valued and actioned by the net generation.
Nobel
Laureate Muhammad Yunus and Professor Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University of Glasgow signed
a historic agreement of mutual cooperation on the 4th of July. The agreement whose legal terms were defined in a memorandum
of understanding details a first of a kind historic collaboration between the University of Glasgow and the Yunus Centre,
with a view to developing academic and educational cooperation and promoting the understanding of Social Business. Both parties
will encourage cross cultivation of ideas and collaboration between academic and administrative staff on commonly defined
projects, lectures and academic symposia and promote the exchange of skills and information through staff exchange and training
programmes. The agreement also made provision for the possibility of creation of intellectual property such a business plans,
brands and concrete exercise of such, sharing equally the financial benefits of such activity. Currently valid for 5 years,
it is anticipated that this collaboration will be long term

The 5000 families free film show that knew how to sponsor hi-trust marketplaces http://giosb.com/
Cinepop is a Mexican social business which stages film shows for 5000 people
who cannot afford to pay to go to a cinema. Its a joyous event that typically creates a week long festival when it comes to
a public square or village. Cinepop’s revenue comes from advertisers and those who form the market stalls that are open
before and after the movie. However pride of place among these stalls are social businesses which cinepop gives free space
to if they are offering vital services the poor need in healtcare, job creation , microcredit etc. Cinepop is passionate about
developing awareness and access to services that poor people would not have any other way of finding out about.
Cinepop develops innovative relationships with local government. It only goes where it
gets to use the public space for free and government puts on ancillary services needed to ensure the safety etc of 5000 people
crowds. In the early days of Cinepop, it took pretty progressive and empowering local authorities to agree to this event.
They map as being the ones that are leading the development of social business culture around
Mexico. Places where people are creatingjobs that develop local microeconomies,
where true microcredits are edging out loan sharks and the race to end poverty is communally sustaining. Like
many of the great social businesses, Cinepop’s exponential growth took time to plant - in Mexico its curving up its own version of Moores law doubling freedom’s reach and popular momentum for opening
up 5000 people’s market centres
Cinepop is a media intent on smartening up people and
bring back sustainability to local communities. It trailblazes the popularity of social businesses and changes local authorities’
attitudes from powering over to empowering the poorest. It is a model socil business fans worldwide can review :
is there an analogy to cinepop your region for testing out which local authorities want to be leaders in social business
zoning space so public services help end poverty?
One of the 10 most colaborative types of partners
that Nobel Laureate & Entrepreneurial Revolutionary Muhammad Yunus http://yunusforum.ning.com/forum is connecting Global Grameen around through the 2010s Joy of Sustainability decade
involves those leaders of places who are prepared to stage social business carnivals when the world’s biggest sporting
events come to their capital city from London's Sustainability Olympics 2012 to Milan's Millennium Goal's Living Social Business Expo
2015. However, Cinepop shows that peoples and places don’t need to wait to being on the world stage to learn from
what types of market stalls local authorities could themselves be social business stimuli of. Social business worldwide networkers
can connect the search for which franchises can be open sourcedinterlocally through public spaces do joyous
celebrations are designed to empower and regenerate communities micro up.
In most countries (parts of the Eastern hemisphere excepted) the acceleration
of mass (and then mobile) media during the 20th century’s last quarter has accidentally operated as a stealth
tax where governments have given away the long term commons(the freedom of speech and of markets to be
transparent in generating local economies) . We have lost the familial joy of there always being open space for spontaneous
meetings , co-creativity and cross-cultural integration and real community in every empowering sense. Instead politicians
got short-term revenue streams that appeared politically popular because they were an alternative to raising
taxes. They were that kind of unfree lunch that puts future generations in hock. Cinepop is a deeply democratic stalking horse
for reversing over-commercialization showing media can be used to sustain the public good if enough networkers realise how
to linkin to just doing it in a place near you.
Bill Clinton says that Bangladesh's great grassroots networks led by Grameen
& BRAC have demonstrated a new development economics is possible - one that is community empowered (bottom up
and collaboratively mobilised) instead of governed top-down by plans that are too profesionally standardised and where the
budget that trickles down can be dismally small . Absolutely, Bangaldesh SB models what privatisation
systems designed for and by the peoples with greatest need of those services that should be every child's/ human's
right of access . Below a typical menu of what Grameen Bangaldesh has found to be the most vital needs it microentreprenurial
networks can solve 35 years into its celebration of the rce to end poverty

Brainstorming on how best to make $50,000 social business loan our
of norman macrae estate .
my view is that there is more than enough job creation and industry revitalisation need for paris and glasgow not
to feel any competition over dr yunus- the invitation to brainstorm on what to do next in this mail makes this collab
assumption
if we can get the perfect flow models working round dr yunus "time
is now chapter": at end of his new book connecting youth of paris, glasgow and dhaka (eg get surveys of youth in
these 3 countries to maintain a league table of youths goals for 2020 sustainability) then with jonathans direct access
to entrepreneurs in 50 future capitals next collaboration cities can be included in terms of what they can bring to sustainability
goals that paris-glasgow-dhaka ( a spanish city would be an obvious fourth since queen sofia has done most to move heaven
& earth for the end poverty movement since 1997 or earlier and is almost playing the role martin hirsch plays out of paris-
also the one agent of yunus who is wholly collaborative is sam daley harris and he is effect designing microcreditsummit of
the 2010s around queen sofia's wush that celebration of mobile youth microcredit becomes centre stage
MY FAMILY FOUNDATION WOULD BE PREPARED
TO MAKE 50000 US DOLLAR social business loan if we could find the right co-partners to operate the best leadersquest model
to dhaka
leadersquest
takes CEOs on benchmrking tour of how they could partner the deepest projects emerging in Bangladesh; usually
about 20 ceos at time; typically it charges them the top price ceos would expect for being in such n exclusive club but
part of that is returned if they start a partnership in bangladesh within year; as a tour's first couple of days happen
it becomes pretty clear that there are 2 groups- one that want the deep social action tour and the other that mainly want
to feel good; both groups' custom needs to be serves
as
over 20 of my friends can testify, zasheem and mostofa already graciously have the permissions to escort people to almost
any yunus project in bangladesh and we can evolve a way to do the same with brac as if the 2010s are to be the most exciting
decade then these 2 most exiting end poverty networks need to collaborate more than they compete
there is one well validated leadersquest model but fortunately they dont have bangladesh connections;
they may well be better at china and india quests so if we can get best at bangladesh we can co-stage tours; and in the event
that yunus is serious about london olympics being the greatest leadership reunion ever staged, we cant get too much practice
in escorting leaders quest ( I expect jonathans friend john elkington (of triple bottom line and sustainability.com ) already
tacitly does this withwww.volans.com
such tours can be something that
principal like muscatelli can co-own university branches of and he can find who in scotlands political world corresponds
to martin hirsch (eg is it or isnt it gordon brown)
leaders
quest becomes 5 times more impactful when mixed with danone communities youth networking and social business funds format
and I hope that it can be shown that leaders quest would accelerate danone communities impact
it would seem to me that if you all want to take this to the next step one
joint visit to bangladesh will be needed at time zasheem is there; as well s anyone prepared to take on leadersquest as part
of their end poverty networks life process it should include zasheem, jonathan representing the 50 hubs, danone communities,
ideally an agent of muscatelli -the point is if glasgow uni is involved with leaders quest into bangaldehs it can then make
partnerships with any universities it chooses
timing this as urgently as possible is impacted by the detioriating capability of dr yunus to host
leadership quests round infotech applications; when I first met dr yunus at start if 2008 the first person he introduced me
to what to tour me round infotech applications; those people have since been disconnected in dr yunus need to earn hard currency
with infotech or so it seems; this is one of the peculiarites if dr yunus with so little resources to do global client relationships
out of dhaka he tends to devolve stuff- it could be that kyushu is already the simpler place to visit to understand yunus'
infotech! although more interesting to me on this map of where it could connect in is jack ma of ali baba and wherever he
is located in china as he's the only person I have specifically heard declaring the commitment to create 100 million jobs
with info tech - delighted if you know of others; I think Nilekani in india could be moved into such top group
if leaders quest got a bit more mature as a network of networks
a leaders quest model is of course natural synergy with journalism for humanity models ; so getting a working
group together before meeting in The economist boardroom (most likely date 7 december) matters if this concept is to come
together
(incidentally glasgow is the alma mater of
both Mrs Yunus and sir fazle abed as well as adam smith from which the family tree of entrepremeusrhip criss-crossed between
paris and glasgow for 2 over centuries until dhaka became the 3rd great capital of youth microeconomics andentrepreneurs
that make more jobs than they take )
Please tell us which social networks and webs already know about Cinepop so we can map out how to mexican wave the celebrations from social business opininon leaders to those who need help empowering
yes we can. Examples of those already at zero degrees of separation with cinepop's entrepreneurial revolution are:
