Social Entrepren & Sustain Ven.

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to examine entrepreneurship as a mechanism for social change, community economic development, and societal sustainability. Via interaction with social entrepreneurs and owners of sustainable enterprises, we will examine the social impacts that both social enterprises and social responsible for–profit ventures can have in the markets where they are located. A key goal of this course is for students to be able to develop a business model that is scalable (with potential for exponential growth and impact) and sustainable for either a non-profit or for-profit venture. Prerequisites: MGMT 444 . Prerequisite(s) can be waived by instructor based on student’s prior non-profit or for profit venture.
