This research project is part of a larger body of research being completed under the title of Creating Policy to Support Social Enterprise Development in Manitoba. The thesis of the larger research project is stated as follows in the project’s scope of work: The thesis of the research is that other jurisdictions have created large scale, viable social enterprises that meet CED principles, whereas Winnipeg has tended to create small, grant dependent social enterprises while following the same principles. The research will test this thesis, examine the factors that have led to success elsewhere, and draw conclusions about how to replicate the success of other jurisdictions in Winnipeg.
