SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE BIG IDEA

MGT2SEB

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Collaborate with other students to design a social enterprise (a commercial enterprise which creates social value) as part of the Big Idea competition, which is run in conjunction with The Big Issue - one of Australia's most successful and famous social enterprises. Students will develop a business plan and presentation "pitch", the best of which will represent La Trobe in the Big Idea competition alongside other Universities in Australia. The diverse subject content is delivered via a combination of lectures, webinars and tutorials. Students will also have the opportunity to engage with business leaders and social entrepreneurs outside of the University, throughout the judging process and other events in the curriculum. This subject is available to undergraduate students at all campuses, and across all Faculties (providing the subject prerequisites have been met).
