Social Profit Canvas
0R325,00Organizations in the public domain must be of value for the citizen, being a tenant, client, patient, student, etc. Foundations, corporations, associations, they all have the intention to make social profit and avoid financial loss. What is the real value and how do these organizations contribute? Social profit and value, that is where this book is about. We present a new method to visualize and assess this profit. The Social Profit Canvas aims to empower two things: increase result and impact, and effect a change towards a Obottom-up-approachO. This book will lead and support professionals in the sector to achieve these goals. Marc Vermeulen and Anke Vroomen describe the developments in the public domain and explore the use of the Social Profit Canvas model, including measuring and decision making in respect of public value. The Social Profit Canvas is developed together with Mark Wolbert and Jaap Hoenderdos from WHISE (company for social profit creation) based on their practical experience combined with the scientific knowledge of TIAS (School for Business and Society).E

Song in Gold Pavilions
0R240,00There is an undeniable fascination in reading the words that composers write. Whenever a composer puts finger to typewriter rather than pencil to manuscript paper, we inevitably hope that he might proffer us some insights into the workings of the creative musical mind ? that source of much mystery since the act of composition left the realm of low artisanship for that of High Art some two or three centuries ago. Composers who deal with words as naturally as they write notes are, however, a breed of exceeding rarity. Ronald Stevenson belongs amongst them and the proof of it is to be found amply in this book.

South Africa and the Case for Renegotiating the Peace
0R235,00South Africa is awash with policy failures, and policy confusion. We argue firstly, that our current discord over policy details has its origin in the (celebrated) negotiated transition. We hold that the vote count of an 85% majority in the Constituent Assembly in 1996 obscured the reality that the Constitution meant different things to different negotiators. The result was that South Africa, from the very start of the democratic era, lacked a national consensus on how to go about consolidating democracy. We keep on failing to build a proper roof over our democracy because the constitutional foundations are weak.
