Abstract
The case is about the impact of the external environment on the operations of a non-profit organisation – Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD). The sustainability of its social enterprise operations in such a context is also examined. It describes how the charity managed the continuous adaptation in the implementation of programmes to meet the changing needs of beneficiaries and other stakeholders. A Disability Employment Network launched at a national level would require the charity to further fine-tune the founders' mission of providing employment to people with physical disabilities in Singapore.
