Many business schools in Europe are coming up with programs for young entrepreneurs who are focused on development. In the never-ending battle for dominance among business schools, one London school has decided to appeal not to potential students’ wallets but to their consciences with a new social entrepreneurship MBA program.
The Hult International Business School is offering the new degree which is based on the principle that social problems can be tackled in similar ways to business problems. The school found that an increasing proportion of applicants were not interested in consulting or investment banking. They were aiming at careers in NGOs or hoped to start social enterprise instead The school also plans to to roll out the program at its San Francisco location next year.
Even if most of the graduates don’t start new social enterprises, there are also ways to effect change inside multinational corporations by influencing things like the supply chain or purchasing decisions.
