MBAMGT 684L Social Enterprise & Poverty Alleviation


Social enterprise thus represents an organization crossbreed, blending defining elements of the business and nonprofit models. Like a business, social enterprise tries to pay its own way with income derived from buying and selling, and like a nonprofit, it aims to fill a particular social deficiency or correct a certain market failure associated with poverty. As opposed to maximizing shareholder value the way a prototypical business does, a social enterprise may retain its surplus to further its social mission, distribute it to its membership, or even repay its creditors and investors at a modest return. MBAMGT 684L and UPCD 684L are the same course.
