Build & Invest Social Ventures
This is an advanced business course to help students develop key understandings and skills in transforming a social enterprise idea into a scalable venture with measurable impact. It covers concepts, perspectives, and tolls that successful social ventures use to reach the various milestones, such as building an innovative business model and competitive strategies, developing sensible strategies to scale the enterprise and its impact, building a convincing financial model and practical financing strategies, developing the right legal and corporate structure for the venture, and building an impact measurement system that matters not only to the venture portfolio of activities but to the growth of the relevant sector as well. This course adopts the raw case-method or real-life project-based learning in order to minimize the classroom - practice gap commonly observed in business and management education.
