Endeavor-Determining A Growth Strategy
By: William A. Sahlman and Michael J. Roberts
Abstract
Describes the progress of a nonprofit organization, Endeavor, focused on nurturing entrepreneurship in emerging markets. At the time of the case, it has successfully expanded to five Latin American countries and is contemplating the next phase in its growth. Specifically, it must decide how quickly and to which countries/regions to expand. In addition, the organization has been successful in raising money at the local level to support its country affiliates, but has had more issues related to raising the funding for its operations in New York. Thus, a key question is which funding model to use to support these headquarters operations. Includes a good deal of information regarding the prevalence of entrepreneurship in various countries, as well as economic data on a great variety of countries. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
