The world is changing. And the ways we work need to be part of that change. The notion of unstoppable continued growth underpins current notions of capitalism, and that's just not possible. Part of the issue is that the resources we have on the planet are finite - there's only so much to go round, and there comes a point (we may have passed it) where we are destroying the source of that wealth because of the mistaken belief that the planet exists for people to become wealthy. And we're slowly entering an era where robots and Artificial Intelligences will do more and more of the work that humans have done. One likely consequence of this is that Universal Basic Income is likely to be introduced (it's already being trialled). And what that means is people will have more time to do what they want. My belief is that for a lot of people, that will mean devoting their time to creative and socially worthwhile projects. For that reason, I'm inclined to support the idea that social entrepreneurship will become a major trend in the years ahead.

No because it's principles are already enacted into law for certain sorts of entity such as PLC's in the UK which must issues corporate Social Responsibility statements.

However it is likely to be seen more often as a mode of allocating public responsibilities to those that are perhaps fittest to carry them out. There is becoming widespread acknowledgement that Governments have an enormous amount of responsibilty and therefore a vast amount of money to be spent on meeting those responsibilities. But they may not be anywhere near enough to the issues that they are supposed to be resolving - day to day in particular. In addition most have been career polititions with few delivery or task/planning execution skills.

Social Enterprise as it's known in the Uk will therefore be a vechile for governments to allocate spend to those that can most likely effect change in areas that the government would like to effect changes in
