"Why" and "How" We Can Teach Social Entrepreneurship in a Capstone Course
Fenton, Mark
Journal of College and Character, v13 n4 Nov 2012
Social entrepreneurship, while not a new term, does not have a universal definition. Teaching entrepreneurship in a comprehensive university capstone course often includes a formal business plan project. By incorporating concepts of social entrepreneurship, students develop an awareness of entrepreneurship beyond a more traditional approach. This article addresses how one entrepreneurship professor developed a social entrepreneurship approach, why it was done, and how it was done in an entrepreneurship capstone course. Content includes the incorporation of social and ethical audits, social entrepreneurship as a profitable venture, and a review of lessons learned by students and the instructor.
