Global Social Entrepreneurship

This course dives into underlying theories to explain how social entrepreneurs work to create positive social change around the world. The course weaves together themes of grand challenges and entrepreneurial mindsets, coupled with the tools of design thinking, integrative thinking, and systems thinking. Whereas most social entrepreneurship courses recognize social venture start-ups and/or technical solutions, this course focuses on students understanding a pressing social or environmental issue by mapping the landscape of the current solutions and to identify missing opportunities for positive change.
