Social Entrepreneurship

3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

This course is about the efforts of private citizens to develop innovative solutions to social problems. Social entrepreneurs are increasingly blurring the lines between the sectors, using for-profit and hybrid forms of organization to achieve social objectives. This creates new opportunities for applying business skills in the social sector. The objectives of this course are to introduce students to the concepts, practices, and challenges of social entrepreneurship, to equip students with frameworks and tools that will help them be more effective in theses pursuits, and to engage students in a joint learning process as we explore this emerging field. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
