Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship

The course is designed for students who are interested in how to create positive social change through market based strategies. Social entrepreneurship refers to the practice of combining innovation, resourcefulness and opportunity to address critical social and environmental challenges. Social entrepreneurs focus on transforming systems and practices to enable human potential and to create sustainable systems change. We will learn how social entrepreneurs have responded to social challenges through creating companies. What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach compared to "traditional" non-profit management, activism, and SR? Students will learn the basics of entrepreneurship, and focus on ways to understand and define a social problem and test various approaches to work with others on systems change. Students will learn to think like an entrepreneur, looking for opportunities and leverage, to create (social) value without many formal resources. This semester, selected students will also have the opportunity to to work closely with community social entrepreneurs shortlisted from the Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition, to write cases to make their business and impact models clearer and contribute to the knowledge-base of social entrepreneurship. Students may take either MGT 421 or this course.
