Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): MGMT 100 & 101. The basic thesis of this elective half-semester course is that many social problems, if engaged entrepreneurially, create opportunities for launching businesses that simultaneously generate profits and alleviate the social problem. This approach generates social wealth as well as entrepreneurial wealth. The courseis distinguished from public sector initiatives to address social problems, andalso from "social entrepreneurship" programs where social wealth creation is a by-product rather than the target of the entrepreneurial effort. Students are expected to begin the course with already conceived ideas for entrepreneurial solutions to social problems.
