Abstract

This chapter details a study of the current state of the development of cross-sector collaboration among social enterprises, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and the corporate sector. It establishes a conceptual framework of a Tripartite Collaborative Model (TCM) with Social Exchange Theory, Inter-organizational Collaboration Theories and Stakeholder Theory with Value Creation to depict the logic of cross-sector collaboration among the predefined partners, namely, a work integration social enterprise (WISE), a created shared value (CSV) enterprise, and a sustainable NGO for value creation.
Under the framework of the TCM, iEnterprise, a privately owned WISE, established a call center in Hong Kong to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities and those from underprivileged communities while maintaining financial sustainability. The tripartite partnership of iEnterprise was developed with a “value added” outsourcing contract from a CSV corporate and a “win-win” servicing agreement with a sustainable NGO.
The successful value-creation experience of iEnterprise was analyzed and evaluated as a case study for the TCM. The set of performance indicators of iEnterprise was compared with other examples of WISEs from the government subsidy model and the cross-border franchising model in order to contrast the advantages and disadvantages of a TCM.
The findings confirmed the possibility of building a form of tripartite social enterprise under the collaborative framework of a TCM characterized by a low capital requirement and resulting in mission fulfillment together with financial sustainability, strategic operational efficiency and effective workfare creation on capital employed.
