Description
This module is designed to introduce students to key concepts in social entrepreneurship and innovation.
The module will provide the student with an understanding of the special problems and challenges involved in the
strategic management of the social enterprise. The main pedagogical objective is to help to develop in the student the
capacity to think entrepreneurially and to better understand the organizational and leadership issues involved in being a
social entrepreneur.
The module will provide the learner with an in-depth understanding of innovation; its various types (incremental to
radical) and the contexts within which it can flourish; so that s/he will be able to manage innovation both strategically
and tactically at any level in the social enterprise. The learner will become proficient in the application of contemporary
tools and frameworks used in the innovation value chain, with a focus on best practice methodologies for New Product,
Business Model and Service Development.
