Abstract
Social business has to do with the elimination of poverty and enhancement of
human welfare – and a priority therefore for practical policy in the area of
social business must be to discovery means to tackle imbalances in health
and social care in a poor population poorly served with social infrastructure
such as Pakistan. Currently policy in this arena is promoting partnership.
Yet we wish to discuss a pertinent problem inherent in this focus. The
developing world considers partnership as the new façade of power, whereas
the developed world mandates it as a way to empower the powerless. The
discrepancy between the two parts of world makes it fundamental to address
the issue of power in partnerships. We conclude that the issue can be
addressed by developing an ‘upstream’ approach to social marketing. We
plan to use such a framework to examine empirically power relationships in
partnerships in Pakistan.
