Social Entrepreneurship at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerSocial entrepreneurship (SE) is the use of entrepreneurial principles to create sustainable social value. This study assesses the feasibility of initiating a SE program at WPI. - Student surveys, a focus group, and faculty interviews demonstrated a general lack of understanding of SE. A deeper analysis, however, demonstrated that students and faculty members are interested in SE, especially in the form of sustainability and related fields. This study recommends the gradual implementation of a SE program through extracurricular and academic avenues.
- This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
