An organisation, and ultimately its impact, can be fundamentally defined by how it manages the dual challenge of innovating and building on its existing strengths, say Hertie School Professor of Organisation, Strategy and Leadership Johanna Mair and Hertie School adjunct and Visiting Scholar at the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS) Christian Seelos in a new book. 'Innovation and Scaling for Impact: How Effective Social Enterprises Do It' reflects a decade of research on how organisations in the social sector create value. Their impact is affected by how they balance investment in innovation - the implementation of new ideas, and expansion through existing strengths, a process the authors call 'scaling'.
Panelists:
Johanna Mair (Moderation) is Professor for Organization, Strategy and Leadership at the Hertie School. Her research focuses on how novel organisational and institutional arrangements generate economic and social development.

He teaches Master-level and executive courses in Global Strategic Management, Innovation, Social Entrepreneurship, and Strategy and Sustainability.
