This internship report is an attempt to represent the process of application of the knowledge acquired from a MA of Social Entrepreneurship and Management in practice. We have addressed a financial struggle that a social enterprise, Swallows India Bangladesh, is facing as well as aimed to find a viable solution for it. We have realized that despite the fact that the SE is in a crossroad of three poles of economy: market, non-market and non-monetary, the organization is leaning just on one pole, non-market, which is the state. The other two, market and non-monetary, were unrealized. In order to solve its financial problem, the organization has to focus on different resource mix and utilize its non-monetary resources, meaning that social and cultural capitals needs to be accumulated and converted it into economic capital for its sustainability.This internship report is an attempt to represent the process of application of the knowledge acquired from a MA of Social Entrepreneurship and Management in practice.
