Self-reflective questions

Assignment 1:

Take a look at the list with external partners recommended to include in your supply chain, presented in the beginning of this Unit. For each of the bullets below, identify at least one specific stakeholder from your own network (local, regional, national, etc.) taking into consideration the social impact and the benefits that will arise from your cooperation:

1. Business (small and large): ……………………………………….
2. Local business schools and other academic institutions: ………………………….
3. Professional organizations: ………………………………………………………….
4. Suppliers: ……………………………………………………………………………….
5. Direct or indirect competitors: …………………………………………………………….
6. Local and regional associations: …………………………………………………………..
7. Local and regional community residents: ………………………………………………..
8. Government institutions and authorities: ……………………………………………….

Assignment 2:

From the stakeholders identified in the previous assignment, choose at least two partners with whom you would like to work in the future. After carefully going through the theoretical part of this Unit, your task would be to do the so-called “investigation” of each of the identified partners, i.e. make a research through your own network of contacts or online in order to find out if there is a cultural fit and understand whether they’ve worked with social ventures like yours in the past.
