SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to equip students with the competency to develop innovative, sustainable, and scalable solutions to social problems. Building upon their prior knowledge of commercial entrepreneurship, it aims to shift their focus from "profit maximization" to "mission-driven impact creation." The course seeks to provide theoretical and practical depth in systems thinking, social business model design, social impact measurement (SROI), and hybrid financing models.

Course Content:

This course covers the social entrepreneurship ecosystem, social innovation theories, and the "Theory of Change" concept. The content focuses on root cause analysis of social problems, application of the social business model canvas, and management of non-profit and hybrid structures. Furthermore, advanced topics such as impact investing, measuring and reporting social impact, scaling social ventures, and corporate social entrepreneurship are examined through case studies.

Course Specific Rules

Students are expected to study the weekly topic from the recommended readings before each class.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)

1) Can differentiate between commercial entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, charity, and corporate social responsibility activities based on their value proposition and mission.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

1) Can formulate funding strategies distinct to the social sector, including impact investing, venture philanthropy, and crowdfunding.

2) Can assess strategies for scaling social impact, distinguishing between scaling the organization vs. scaling the idea.

3) Can critique ethical dilemmas and challenges in social entrepreneurship, such as mission drift and the savior complex.
