An Integrated Model for Large-Scale Social Entrepreneurship: Addressing Global Water Supply Problems

This paper introduces a large-scale social entrepreneurship model to help address the growing need for the development of an international water resource sustainability system within a world water economy. We explore the relationships between government policy, geopolitical impacts, and business interests. In particular, we investigate why past policy has largely failed, while proposing an emerging entrepreneurial model that introduces a new perspective for largescale green business start-up capability. We believe an appropriate overlay of multiple stakeholder interests and alternative structuring may be employed in innovative entrepreneurial start-ups that require complex manufacturing and distribution networks. Comprehensive longterm water shortage planning and short-term interventions coupled with an emerging prototype large-scale green entrepreneurship model may help to advance the conversation.
