Nonprofit and Social Enterprise Start-Up

This course evaluates the principles, practices, and pitfalls of forming a nonprofit organization and social enterprise. This course will then explore the nature and scope of the nonprofit sector, including historical developments, ethics and legal matters, social justice, community relationships, and emerging trends such as data analytics and technological advancements. Organizational theory and strategic management concepts will provide a lens to analyze issues such as recruiting and motivating volunteers, board and staff relationships, transparency and accountability, managing change, decline, and growth, and innovative responses to complex socio-cultural and political-economic environments. You will plan and propose a feasible and responsible nonprofit organization that responds to a market failure. The proposal will provide an overview of the need for the organization and its sustainability in its forecasted market. (Offered Spring Semesters) (A grade of at least “C” is required for the BBA degree.)
