ECON 281 - NonProfit Management and Social Entrepreneurship
Credits: 4
A study of the economic role and principles of nonprofit management and social entrepreneurship. Self-sustaining social ventures apply proven for-profit management techniques to make great societal impact as a result of their enterprise. Topics covered include the development of various not-for-profit business models, the social impact of nonprofit businesses, the psychology of management in the nonprofit world, shared governance, and an analysis of such current buzzwords as the “impact investing,” “hybrid social ventures,” “cause-related marketing” and “viral funding.” Students are exposed to the disparate requirements of taking an idea and creating an economically viable social enterprise that can sustain itself while having a positive impact on social ills and societal needs.
