PUBP 761 - Social Entrepreneurship and Public Policy

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Schar School of Policy and Government (formerly SPGIA)

This course is about people who start new ventures with the explicit objective of creating social as well as private value. As societies and the challenges they face become ever more complex, existing institutions and incentive structures may or may not be adequate to address new generations of problems. Social entrepreneurs innovate new organizational forms with the objective of finding solutions in the public interest. Students in this course will be challenged to integrate elements of business strategy and policy analysis towing the objective of crafting a practical plan for the launch of a novel and needed social venture.
