MGMT 620 Social Entrepreneurship
This course introduces students to social entrepreneurs and their organizations within a global context. The course will draw upon instructor and guest lectures, case studies, individual-and teamwork. Students will identify in teams a local and an international social entrepreneurial venture, which they will explore in depth, and present to their peers. Individually, they will embark on a preliminary mission toward the creation of a social entrepreneurial venture that they feel passionate about. The course will explore questions such as: What are the common characteristics of social entrepreneurs and their organizations regardless of their location and operation industry? How do the local circumstances influence the problems they address, the organizational and business models they decide to pursue, and their growth options? When and how do they engage in partnerships with one another and with business or public sectors, and how do these partnerships perform? Lecture. Prerequisite: MGMT 608, Entrepreneurship
