Examines the growing area of social entrepreneurship, or the process of creating and managing new nonprofit ventures focused on improving social conditions, especially among the world's most needy population. Many estimate that the fastest-growing employment sector around the world is the nonprofit and nongovernment sector, comprised of organizations that are organized to solve social problems that governments and the for-profit sector have failed to address, or ignore. In addition to case discussions, students create a microlending enterprise to address an unmet social need outside the United States. Based on the merits of the proposal, funding is sought in follow-up to the course.
