Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is about innovation within specific social organization which compacts with the division of labor, knowledge creation, and the use of technology such as e-enterprise in social economy aimed at improving productivity. A significant proportion of the world's economy is organized to make profits not only for investors but to sustain the employment of many disadvantaged people throughout the world. It includes cooperative organizations, foundations and many other social enterprises that provide a wide range of products and services across the globe and generate sustainable employment. Productivity tends to increase when the job is divided into manageable portions and then performed by adequately skilled personnel. In order to succeed in an environment in which other businesses fiercely compete along with social enterprises it is imperative to take into account innovative systems such as e-enterprise to leverage competition and increase productivity.

Summary

The paper focuses on e-enterprise as a multi-media technology used by retailers, distributors, and welfare organization, among many others, to continuously provide services to stakeholders all the time. The chapter also recognizes social enterprises which are not-for profit organizations that provide goods and services needed by many consumers worldwide. Social constructs such as Appreciative Inquiry, Community of Practice, and the Theory of Structuration methodologies can be used as prisms to understand organization, the notion of the division of labor, and the introduction and management of e-enterprise in value creation processes in social economy. Technology may be construed in at least three ways:

  • 1.

    It can imply the utilization of tools to allow the company to trade the entire time, or it can imply innovative thinking that promotes the development of techniques and methods based on a template that may augment increased productivity;

  • 2.

    The e-enterprise know-how also can be described as software that allows the processing of business transactions in very safe environments;

  • 3.

    Operating e-enterprise requires highly structured skill-sets acquired from years of learning and practicing. In the end the discourse concludes that technology-savvy organizations can reason and perform complex tasks leading to increased output. An entire organization ideally will be able to know what needs to be mastered to make e-enterprise expedite the goods and services needed by the consumers and giving the company the opportunities to effectively exploit the market.

E-enterprise and its compatible technologies may benefit the social economy in many respects. The businesses will allow communities of practice to learn, change, and improve all the time, certain jobs can be completed by a stakeholder from the comforts of his/her home and video conferencing technology which can come as part of a package of e-enterprise can make it possible for donors and aid recipients to exchange information face-to-face in real time to create a co-constructed reality. The integration of such cutting-edge technologies can create more value in the social economy.
