This course covers the key business functions required by social entrepreneurs, and managers in social enterprises, with perspectives on strategy, finance, ethics, governance, marketing and people management. It also intends to bring together the knowledge and experience of social enterprise pioneers in the field, local and overseas, to show what it takes to implement and run an effective social venture or organization.
