Description

Takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and solving complex social problems. You will learn about prior attempts to address these problems across emerging markets, identify points of opportunity for brilliant entrepreneurial efforts, and propose and develop your own creative solutions. This course focuses on individual agency—what can you do to address a defined problem? The creative process starts with immersion in the problem and harnessing diverse perspectives.

The course then touches on issues related to financing, scaling up operations, branding, managing property rights, and creating appropriate metrics for assessing progress and social value in the fast-growing but institutionally compromised settings of emerging markets.
