大家好！

我今天要介绍你们 “社会企业。” 我的公司- OrangeMouth - 是一个社会企业，但这种的商业有什么意思？我找到这盘短片开设介绍 社会企业。

我觉得社会企业是一个特殊种的商业 因为没有定义。Ok， 有了，但是没有一个定评的。 每个人持有不同意见。比如：

根据百度， 社会企业是：

”社会企业不是纯粹的企业，亦不是一般的社会服务，社会企业透过商业手法运作，赚取利润用以贡献社会。它们所得盈余用于扶助弱势社群、促进小区发展及社会企业本身的投资。它们重视社会价值，多于追求最大的企业盈利。”


根据 Wikipedia：

“社会企业（英文：social enterprise），是这样的一种企业，它将商业策略最大程度运用于改善人类和环境生存条件而非为外在的利益相关者谋取最大利益。社会企业的法人身分可以是营利性质的，也可以是非营利性质的，并且，它的表现形式也可能是共同合作模式、成熟的组织构架、非独立实体， 社会商业或者慈善组织。“


那些的 定义 内容相仿，但不一样。尽管没有一个公认的定义，社企都显出共同的特征。


1。社会还是环保的目的
2。[大部分的]利润是贸易来的
3。利润再投资

As you may be able to deduct from the picture, I'm a student at the University of Portsmouth, pursing a degree in International Development Studies and Languages (ok, so the last part might not be glaringly obvious from just the photo). It just so happens that the language happens to be Mandarin. In the final year of a degree (or half a degree in my case) in Languages, one of the required classes is Language for Professional Communication. 

As delightful as all of that information isn't, the real question here is obvious, "Can you say(read, write, understand, cook, wear, etc) something in Chinese/Mandarin?" Yes I can, but please let me finish explaining what's going on first.*

For this Language for Professional Communication class we're required to pick a topic and present on it in Chinese at the end of the semester. Thing is, it's not just as simple as a presentation. We have to do a video, podcast, create a website, brochures, etc. to accompany said presentation. 

WELL! The end of the semester (and uni life) is fast approaching, so it seemed best to get a move on. As it turns out, I already have a website, so have decided to write some pieces (and perhaps a video or two) in Chinese on my chosen topic - social enterprise - and post them on this blog, as OrangeMouth falls quite securely under that scope (and would undoubtedly be the subject of several of the entries). 

And that's it for today, but keep an eye out for some bi-lingual posts in the near future!
