Course description
This course endeavours to blend two strands of thinking and action: One is the classic social construct based on notions of public interest and service to community, embracing meeting social and economic needs through non profit service delivery and volunteering. The other includes introduction of facets of For Profit business enterprise and associated modern management theory and practice. This course examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of social enterprise. It then applies the concept through a comprehensive analysis of the many facets of Not for Profit organisations including their rationale, philosophy, mission, and key aspects of their leadership management and operations. Significant use is made of real life case studies, including presentations from leaders of Not for Profit organisations. Team teaching is a feature of the course involving faculty who are conducting research on many aspects in this field.
