Description:
Social enterprise represents an organization crossbreed, blending elements of for-profit and nonprofit models. Like a business, social enterprises earn income derived from buying and selling, and like a nonprofit, they aim to address a particular social or environmental issue. In this course, students will develop an understanding of the context and domain of social enterprise, learn about the opportunities and challenges of building a social enterprise, learn about how social entrepreneurs create innovative business models in response to social issues like hunger, poverty, inner city education, and global warming, and build a foundation to help prepare personally and professionally for meaningful employment by reflecting on the issues addressed by social enterprises.
