Effective Leadership of Social Enterprise

Abstract: This course is about the leadership challenges of creating and sustaining high performing nonprofit organizations. The operating environment for nonprofit organizations is changing as dynamically as that of the for-profit sector. A venerable name is no longer sufficient to insure the success, much less the sustainability, of an organization. Yet the theory of how to effectively manage established nonprofits is in many cases just being formulated and tested. This course enables the student to both examine the applicability of for-profit business approaches to nonprofit organizational challenges as well as to identify innovative solutions to these challenges. This course will enable students to expand their knowledge of effective nonprofit management practices and to increase their understanding of the complex environment in which nonprofits operate. Students should become better prepared to achieve social objectives as leaders in business, government or the social sector.
