CGMAI3022U Social Entrepreneurship and Business Model Innovation

Social Entrepreneurship describes the discovery and sustainable exploitation of opportunities to create business models which address humanity’s social and environmental challenges. Social entrepreneurship generates disequilibria in market and non-market environments, by finding ways of turning societal problems into complementary assets. The course will develop capabilities in social opportunity identification as well as social enterprise modeling.

Please note that due to its nature as a blended intensive programme (BIP) the course has several virtual components: Two obligatory “pre-assignment” online sessions (in early and mid June) in which you get introduced to the course and where group work begins. There are two weeks presence on-campus classes. Finally, the last week will again be online sessions at the end of the course in which we prepare for your exam project. These virtual sessions are an integral part of the course.

Online sessions: 9, 16, 26 June, 2026 & 7 July 2026

On site sessions: 22 June, 2026 to 09 July 2026
