Teachers implicitly assist many students to prepare for jobs and positions in evolving businesses and social expectations of people who operate and work for these enterprises. Two online sources allow educators and students to review reports of these changes.
BeyondGreyPinstripes.org – World’s biggest MBA database, including detailed records on 1,672 courses, 1,730 extracurriculars, and 216 research articles at 128 schools on six continents.
CasePlace.org – Free, online library of business school case studies, including 78 cases about social entrepreneurship and 5 separate Featured Collections (teaching modules) on social entrepreneurship, which include cases, background readings, and teaching notes.
These two sources are listed in footnotes in a paper by Kate Heiny about Social Entrepreneurship/Social Enterprises published by The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program in the September, 2006 issue of their A Closer Look at Business Education. Thanks, Kate for pointing us to them. You assisted many of us teachers to understand more clearly how entrepreneurship and enterprise development are changing.
