This course is offered through CCCU Best Semester as a Study Abroad course. Permission through the Study Abroad office is required prior to enrolling in this course. The course description provided by CCCU is as follows: This course will provide a follow-up to the comparative economic systems course offering a view from Indonesia. In addition, this course will explore the emergence of a new story about business, a story that locates business within a societal framework, recognizing that every business creates or destroys value for customers, suppliers, employees, communities and society. Within this framework, social entrepreneurship offers a model of business built around the ideas of corporate responsibility, sustainability and shared value to address social and environmental challenges and to promote the common good. As the traditional lines blur among nonprofits, government and business, it is critical that students understand the opportunities and challenges in this new landscape that will push businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies to partner together to achieve a balance between social, environmental, and economic resources. The class will offer students the opportunity to talk with small family entrepreneurs and larger social enterprises as they create products and services that add value to various stakeholders, including the common good.
