Social enterprises (SE) are organizations that have two goals: to earn revenue and to achieve social, environmental or cultural outcomes. It is about reconciliation of two different worlds: the economic and the social. On the surface, social enterprises might operate just as traditional businesses. But looking more deeply, one realizes the characteristics of their business model : the social mission is at the centre of their business. Moreover, social enterprises, at the same level of traditional businesses, need to raise finance. To do so, they can call on commercial banks. 
It is in this context, one wonders the relationship that ties social enterprises to commercial banks. These latter seem to get more and more interested in SE as they are an increasing sector in Belgium. This paper has the intention to answer the following question : « What can a commercial bank offers in its relationship with social enterprises ? » In order to be more precise, it is the case of the Belgian bank « BNP Paribas Fortis » that is going to be studied. 
To do so, one aims first to define correctly what are social enterprises and how they raise finance. Then, different banking products/services will be analyzed : credit, asset management, venture philanthropy and crowdfunding. After, through a survey, the opinion of social enterprises will be analyzed. Several semi-directive interviews with managers of the bank will allow to discover their point of view concerning their strategy in terms of social enterprises. Finally, a discussion will be devoted to link the results obtained with the theoretical elements given in the first part in order to clarify the various products and services that the bank can offer to social enterprises, and thus to answer our problematic.

An irreversible transformation is taking place in the lives of many thousands of university educated professional women in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Drawing on eight years' participative research and extensive secondary sources, Nick Forster introduces the first extensive study to document this development in the Middle East. This book documents the emerging economic and political power of women, and how they are beginning to challenge ancient and deeply-held beliefs about the 'correct' roles of men and women in conservative Islamic societies, and in public and private sector organisations. It also describes the vital role that women could play in the economic development and diversification of these countries, and the broader MENA region, in the future. It is an essential read for professionals, scholars and students, in fields as diverse as economic development, international management, gender studies, and Middle Eastern studies.
