The role of asset management and ownership in social enterprise activity: emerging evidence from the field.

Mike Aiken, Head of Research at IVAR, examined emerging evidence from research into the role of asset management and ownership in social enterprise activity. Mike’s presentation drew on an evidence review into community ownership of assets carried out by IVAR for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in December 2008. The presentation stimulated considerable debate, not least Mike’s challenge to the audience to try and judge the extent to which a range of organisations were engaged in the ownership and management of community assets.
