abstract: 'Social firms, or ``affirmative businesses{''''} as they are known in North
America, are businesses created to employ people with disabilities and
to provide a needed product or service. This Open Forum offers an
overview of the development and status of social firms. The model was
developed in Italy in the 1970s for people with psychiatric disabilities
and has gained prominence in Europe. Principles include that over a
third of employees are people with a disability or labor market
disadvantage, every worker is paid a fair-market wage, and the business
operates without subsidy. Independent of European influence, affirmative
businesses also have developed in Canada, the United States, Japan, and
elsewhere. The success of individual social firms is enhanced by
locating the right market niche, selecting labor-intensive products,
having a public orientation for the business, and having links with
treatment services. The growth of the social firm movement is aided by
legislation that supports the businesses, policies that favor employment
of people with disabilities, and support entities that facilitate
technology transfer. Social firms can empower individual employees,
foster a sense of community in the workplace, and enhance worker
commitment through the organization''s social mission.'
