Abstract
Digital Divide Data (DDD) had grown from a small IT outsourcing company in Cambodia to an internationally recognized social enterprise. In 2009, the company was weighing options to continue its growth yet also maintain its social mission: to offer training and employment to disadvantaged youth. The learning objective is to understand the strategic choices and constraints faced by social-mission non-profits that offer services in competitive business environments; to evaluate the growth options available to start-ups in emerging markets. This case is part of the MIT Sloan free case collection (visit www.thecasecentre.org/mitsloanfreecases for more information on the collection).
