Strategies in Social Enterprise

3 credits · Graduate Programs

A social enterprise focuses on solving complex societal problems through market-based solutions. With the changing political landscape, social enterprises blur the traditionally separate roles of governments, non-governmental organizations, for-profit companies, and charities. Concentration will be on for-profit models, but many of the principles and tools will be applicable to any entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial (new social or environmental change initiatives in existing organizations) endeavours with a social mission.
