Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on preparing students to engage in and lead social enterprises as we explore the options for creating social value. Using a combination of lecture, case study and project work, we investigate both for-profit and non-profit models for creating social value with special emphasis on the non-profit community. Particular emphasis is placed on the management challenges of social enterprises such as creating and conveying their message, options for dealing with finances, relationships within communities, and methods for building constituencies. Additionally, we address critical issues such as measures of success, scale, replication and failure. The class requires contact with organizations in the community as well as one long weekend away from campus. Recommended prerequisite: 660.105 Introduction to Business or 660.220/660.340 Principles of Management. No audits.
