summary The efficiency assessment, implementation of appropriate control and responsive measures for Social Business (SB), the concerned bodies need an efficient and inclusive measuring instruments for Social Business Efficiency (SB Efficiency). By pursuing social benefit aims, the profit-making firms under the broad definition of Social Business (SB) can boost the value of their products or services or can exploit new business areas.
