Abstract
This case presents the hybrid business model of a social venture Gramshree. It provides a detailed description of the dilemma faced by the board of trustees regarding the selection of marketing channels for Gramshree to bring sustainability to the business. Gramshree aimed at empowering women artisans by ensuring a steady income for them so that they could become a catalyst for sustainable economic development and social change. However, with growing competition and difficulties in selling, generating market demand was a key challenge for Gramshree. This case illustrates the strategies for the development and value creation of a hybrid social business model. It also describes the challenges faced by social organizations. The case provides an opportunity to evaluate the current situation and proposes a solution for the sustainability of the organization.
期刊介绍:
Asian Journal of Management Cases is a peer-reviewed journal that aims at providing high-quality teaching material to academics, consultants, and management developers, through cases on management practices in the socioeconomic context of developing Asian countries. The journal covers all administrative disciplines including accounting and finance, business ethics, production and operations management, entrepreneurship, human resource management, management information systems, marketing, organizational behaviour, strategic management, and managerial economics. Each issue of Asian Journal of Management Cases comprises four to five original case studies. Teaching cases should be accompanied with a Teaching Note (TN). Even though the TN will not be published, it is necessary for the review process and can be obtained by contacting the authors directly. Please refer to the online submission guidelines for details on writing a teaching note. AJMC does not publish pure research or applied research based on field studies (not case studies). The journal is published in March and September every year with thematically focused issues occasionally.
