BUS-271 Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation


ECN-111 and ACC-11 or other Business course
Entrepreneurs are using business methods to help
 solve social and environmental challenges
 otherwise ignored or missed by commerce and
 addressed predominately with often unsustainable
 donor-driven models by the nonprofit sector. This
 course includes social intrapreneurship, where
 employees in existing companies similarly are
 developing new income opportunities by addressing
 social and environmental challenges in a
 profitable, scalable manner. Social entrepreneurs
 are at the vanguard of creating new business
 models for neglected markets that corporations
 can emulate, partner with or acquire to take to
 scale. As the traditional lines blur among
 nonprofits, government and business, it is
 critical that business students understand the
 opportunities and challenges in this new
 landscape.  4
