Social Enterprise: Coffee school helps Better people's lives

Note how the idea of social enterprises can be a way/eg in which we help address the needs of the disadvantaged. It's a win-win situation: the disadvantaged get the help they want, whereas the businesses benefit from the positive branding that would attract more customers, hence profits. There is also of course the shortage of manpower here, which means businesses are forced to look for unconventional sources of labour, which they prob otherwise wouldn't in the event of an oversupply of labour.

Sample Qns:
1. Many developed countries are paying increasing attention to the needs of the disadvantaged. How far is this true in Singapore? (Cambridge 2008)
2. Profit is the sole motive when it comes to doing business. Discuss.
