In this course, students will learn how entrepreneurs create organizations that address social problems using innovative, sustainable approaches. Students will examine a variety of social venture forms and consider how such ventures can be evaluated, managed, and financed. Social Entrepreneurship has three primary components. First, students will discuss and debate the principles of social entrepreneurship and apply them to cases of for-profit, not-for-profit, and hybrid organizations. Second, students will analyze how the goals, structures, and practices of those ventures contribute to their success — or failure. Third, students will put their knowledge into action by contributing to a consulting project for a social venture. The course is hands-on and project-based. Those who enjoy critically discussing ideas — and then acting on those ideas — will enjoy this course. The course content has a broad international reach as many of the innovations in the field come from the Global South.
