IB/MG 301 - Social Entrepreneurship and Leadership for the 21st Century

This course aims to provide students with the tools to engage with current debates surrounding corporate citizenship, transformative leadership, and social entrepreneurship. Through discussions and group activities, participants are taught through an active participatory process. The lectures and literature for the course will provide a basis for understanding the complexity of global commodity chains, as well as the interdependence of our current financial systems. The course provides background into the emergence of community based and socially responsible business practices as a response to the privatization of public services under neoliberalism in the late 20th C. The students will be introduced to various measures of innovation and transformation in business studies (e.g., "new" business characteristics as defined by Jan Jonker).
