Dear all,

I am looking for case studies and/or true stories about energy choices made in
emerging economies. Please send me anything relating to this topic, but I would
especially like to hear about the details of the processes around making these
energy supply choices (whether alternative energy or traditional sources) in
small communities and by small firms in emerging economies. Who is involved in
the decisions and who is influential? I am focused on alternative (clean, safe)
energy, but I would like the other types of cases as well where the fall back
is
a traditional energy source (fossil fuels, etc. or even nuclear). It would be
exciting to hear about communities/firms that are adopting the best high-tech
alternative energy systems in thinking about their sustainable futures.

Thanks in advance for any help!

If indicated by you, I am happy to compile whatever list I receive and send it
out to the ONE list serve.

Best wishes,

Dr. Deborah de Lange

Deborah,

We recently published a compendium of twenty mini-cases on social and sustainable venturing. The book is titled, "Cases with a Conscience: Entrepreneurial Solutions to Global Challenges" and can be found on amazon at the link below. A couple of the cases address energy in emerging economies (Husk Power and Craft Skills East Africa). Other cases range from organic foods to solar cells to community supported agriculture. The idea of the book is to expose students to stories of interesting companies without having to teach a longer case on the companies.

Best, Tom
