Fostering Entrepreneurship and Building Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy in Prim...Maurice Dawson
This paper focuses on the positives of introducing entrepreneurship education at the primary and secondary levels of education. Specifically, its central focus deals with building children’s entrepreneurial self-efficacy at a young age. Several benefits, of increasing self-efficacy at a young age, are outlined. Benefits, such as entrepreneurship training, not only train students but, it helps to prepare them for the new knowledge based economy. Further, entrepreneurship education should help increase the success and survival rates of women and minority entrepreneurs. Essential to this process, a new curriculum needs to be devised including its means of assessment. Lastly barriers to an entrepreneurship program are discussed; this includes financial, political and negative perceptions of entrepreneurship education.

Abstract: India is the highest county in number of universities which constitutes more than seven hundred universities including private, public and semi sectors. Despite India have more institutions and strategies for higher education still Indian education is not competitive and performing infancy stage as compared to world class level. Education has pivotal role in national building and moulding superb wings of human recourse. Every country is spending much amount for enhancement of education. CSR, as a strategic practice, is a key to organizational success because it is one of the few practices that can positively impact all three elements of the Triple Bottom Line (Economic, Social, Environment), contributing to a healthy bottom line and long-term sustainability. Some Indian companies have always strong philanthropic activities and target to education sector as the part of CSR, many initiatives are executed by corporate in partnership with Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who are well versed in working with the local communities and are experts in tackling specific social problems. As per schedule –VII of company bill 2012, promotion of education is considered as CSR policy of company, even though some high profiled companies running their institutions for profit making by markatising the education. So this paper explains prospects and challenges on both the social and corporate managerial perspective. This study tries investigates the role of educational institutions and companies to surpass the CSR for creating best human capital and also explores the significances of CSR for promoting education and various initiatives of companies in education sector as a corporate responsibility to expansion education.

Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are the seeds to economic activity and entrepreneurs are the sources of jobs in an economy. According to TiE (The IndUS Entrepreneurs, a non - profit organization, which promotes entrepreneurship), each entrepreneur creates approximately 30 jobs. Entrepreneurship helps to make the Indian market export competitive and equally contributes in making the Indian brand more acceptable. People exposed to entrepreneurship frequently express that they have more opportunity to exercise creative freedoms, higher self-esteem, and an overall greater sense of control over their own lives. But the present younger generation is not able to enjoy all these benefits. A survey done by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute, India (EDII) in 2003 shows that young people are afraid to start their own business because they are not confident, not capable, and lack knowledge in starting a business. Many people would have the opportunity to change jobs or become an entrepreneur if they are properly trained. The students in India are not confident merely with the traditional education they receive in the universities. This throws a demand for education programs specifically designed to expand students’ knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship education in India faces cultural and financial constraints along with insufficient government capacity and private participation. Research points to the significant impact that good entrepreneurship education can make more towards entrepreneurial success and promotes entrepreneurial culture. Hence the plethora of entrepreneurship academics and academic programs at UK and US universities. A mainstay of many of the more successful entrepreneurship programs at business schools around the world is the involvement of successful entrepreneurs whose business careers provide an invaluable part of any university student’s entrepreneurship education.
At this backdrop, this paper tries to explain the need for a comprehensive formal system of entrepreneurship education against the present scenario.

GCSEN Foundation presents at the 14th Annual Social Entrepreneurship ConferenceGCSEN Foundation
The Annual Social Entrepreneurship Conference is a two-day conference that brings together scholars, researchers, students and practitioners from around the world to discuss emerging concepts and explore topics in social enterprise, innovation, sustainability and impact. The conference, the largest academic gathering of its kind in terms of research paper submissions, is dedicated to the ongoing development of theory and research on social entrepreneurship and its impact on global communities.
SES strategic approach has recently been strengthened by articles from the Case Foundation and the Economist. The Case Foundation reported that “America Needs Big ideas to Heal Our Divides”56 noting that “Civic energy is going to have to come from the ground up to strengthen social cohesion, civic participation, and our ability to solve big challenges together (Nation)”
Equity and Inclusive Growth from a Development Perspective is essential reading for development and evaluation practitioners. It provides a concise history and critical examination of the concepts related to growth, poverty, and equity. These three foundational elements of contemporary development theory and practice are at the root of The Rockefeller Foundation’s movement toward advancing inclusive economies and building resilience.
The paper offers many insights about the measurement and evaluation of programs. It illuminates the debate surrounding ways to assess well-being beyond GDP. It covers the many ways to approach the measurement of poverty and the most commonly used indexes. Finally, it examines the important distinction between equity and equality and the policy implications of pursuing equity.
An Empirical Analysis of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Selected Asian Countriesijtsrd
The positive relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development through employment generation and poverty reduction has been well established in academic research. This is the rationale why governments across different countries try to comprehend the dynamics of entrepreneurship. There is growing interest in decoding the context in which entrepreneurship thrives. Research on œEntrepreneurial Ecosystem has gained momentum since it provides the necessary framework in which entrepreneurship develops. The objective of this study is to analyze the various components of entrepreneurial ecosystem and Total early stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA) in selected Asian countries. The research is based on secondary data related to entrepreneurial ecosystem and total early stage entrepreneurial activity, provided by Global entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). The findings of the research indicate that there is need to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Asian countries. Asian countries exhibit insufficient provisions of access to finance for entrepreneurs. Government policies and programs, taxes and bureaucratic regime are also insufficient for nurturing entrepreneurial environment. Entrepreneurship education and training both at basic school level and post school level are not sufficient for creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurs. Markets, infrastructural provisions and social and cultural norms are also not found to be sufficient for entrepreneurship to thrive in Asian context. Total early stage entrepreneurial activity (TEA) is also quite low for Asian countries. The findings of the study can be of instrumental value for academicians and policy makers interested in entrepreneurship development in Asia.

Employment prospects for teens and young adults in the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas plummeted between 2000 and 2011. On a number of measures—employment rates, labor force underutilization, unemployment, and year-round joblessness—teens and young adults fared poorly, and sometimes disastrously. While labor market problems affected all young people, some groups had better outcomes than others: Non-Hispanic whites, those from higher income households, those with work experience, and those with higher levels of education were more successful in the labor market. In particular, education and previous work experience were most strongly associated with employment.
Policy and program efforts to reduce youth joblessness and labor force underutilization should focus on the following priorities: incorporating more work-based learning (such as apprenticeships, co-ops, and internships) into education and training; creating tighter linkages between secondary and post-secondary education; ensuring that training meets regional labor market needs; expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit; and facilitating the transition of young people into the labor market through enhanced career counseling, mentoring, occupational and work-readiness skills development, and the creation of short-term subsidized jobs.
What is Inclusive Competitiveness and why is it possibly the defining issue of a 21st century generation? The term competitiveness is ubiquitous in its use among economic development planners and policymakers, yet virtually unheard of outside of sports. But the demographic shifts of the nation require raised awareness of why economic competitiveness must now become more inclusive.

Colleges can play a critical role in sustainable regional and local development by expanding their historical role as anchor institutions. This expansion could take the form of a ‘knowledge economy” update on the land grant college model. Land grant colleges were established to provide practical skills training to farmers, mechanics and other tradesmen (Hertz, 2013). Providing education in innovation, entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship can prepare both students and adult learners for well-paying careers in the place based economy.
Placemaking as an economic development strategy, also called place-based economic development, is the practice of using a community’s public amenities to make economic progress. This approach focuses on the unique features of particular places, building on existing assets, such as arts, cultural amenities, parks, architectural design, open spaces, lakes or walkable streets to create a strong bond between people and the places they live , contributing to the appeal of these places to live, work, engage and socialize. Effective placemaking strategies can also attract investment and be a catalyst for entrepreneurial innovation (Ivacko & Horner, 2014), as well as enhance the attraction of young millennial, college-aged students to a particular location.

In this paper, we addressed issues regarding the importance of social innovation (SI) and
social entrepreneurship (SE) within a society which is in a profound and rapid change and
transformation that marks all the areas of social life. The fundamental objective of the study was to
analyze the concepts of social innovation and social entrepreneurship as providers of both social
value and growth of life quality. We highlighted the inter-conditioning relationship between these
two concepts and showed the need for social innovations to respond to some challenges of the
society, such as aging, budgetary pressure and others. This paper proposes a model of social
entrepreneurship at the intersection of three sectors: state, market and civil society, in its efforts to
meet the more and more sophisticated requests of the contemporary society. Thus, the whole
society must be connected to the new innovative social models

This document was developed by Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership and among other sources contains references to the statements made by Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Chairman of the Scientific Council at Fundación Ramón Areces; Adela Cortina, Professor at the University of Valencia; José Luis Monzón, President of CIRIEC; Charles Fombrun, PChairman at Reputation Institute and José Manuel Pérez Díaz-Pericles,Founder of the training project Entrepreneurship Training Chain, during the semminary Economía y valores that took place in Madrid, on February 19 and 20, 2015.
In the institutional area, the academic field and private sector a new framework is demanded for economy to grow and develop itself and to give more importance to objectives of sustainable growth for the long-term, including issues of general interest both for companies and stakeholders. Ethics seem to be the backbone of a new system based on two big pillars: social and environmental ethics, able to develop an efficient economic system, which is favourable to business development and investments.
New Institutional Economics (NIE) doesn't mean to break away from the market economy but to apply new formulas to solve problems arising from it.
Institutions need to be able to guarantee social justice, environmental sustainability and long-term economic growth. The current economic scenario and institutional crisis turns the spotlight on legitimizing those institutions that will have to make considerable further efforts to respond to the interests and demands of everyone, companies and citizens.
The current context of social economy represents a useful tool that includes ethical principles to the business plan, so that the company stakeholders perceive the actions of the organization as something positive and favourable for the context where it happens. It is true that the model suggested by social economy can't be completely transposed to capital companies but it can add value to the business model through human resources and corporate social responsibility policies.
In the current scenario, both companies and citizens are required to create new models of ethical leadership. Nowadays, states have lost influence in favour of civil society. The current position of companies and citizens is critical as a way out of the crisis. Thus, it is fundamental to take new responsibilities based on their new role.
Citizens must assume this responsibility and adopt such values as solidarity, respect and, specially, dialogue.
It is impossible to apprehend the full complexity of the transformative power of current citizenry without understanding the key elements of this new context: the reputation economy, a context where people pay more and more attention to the companies that are behind the products and services they consume. In this sense, reputation management becomes the management of the relationship with the company's stakeholders.
This area demonstrates the entrepreneurial efforts undertaken to change the underprivileged
society of the world which is popularly understood by Parhalad’s Bottom of the Pyramid.
Social enterprises are innovation since some years and these are capable to work with big

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND EDUCATION SECTOR: ISSUES AND REMEDIES IAEME Publication
Today, education faces the rising challenges of standardized testing, strained budgets, teacher retention, and global workforce competition. Businesses have begun to take a more targeted approach in their corporate social responsibility programs and are seeking to impact areas that have a correlation with their own business goals. For many businesses, education is an important part of their plans, since the needs exist in all geographic areas, across all subject areas, and for all kinds of people. Higher educational institutions in the Marathwada seek to get quality and talented students. For the perception of higher educational institutions as quality institutions, it is essential that they behave in a socially responsible manner. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is one of the useful tools to positively affect society and develop relationships with stakeholders. So this paper explains prospects and challenges on both the social and corporate managerial perspective. This study tries investigates the role of educational institutions to surpass the CSR for creating best human capital and also explores the significances of CSR for promoting education and various initiatives of companies in education sector as a corporate responsibility to expansion education

As per schedule –VII of company bill 2012, promotion of education is considered as CSR policy of company, even though some high profiled companies running their institutions for profit making by markatising the education. So this paper explains prospects and challenges on both the social and corporate managerial perspective. This study tries investigates the role of educational institutions and companies to surpass the CSR for creating best human capital and also explores the significances of CSR for promoting education and various initiatives of companies in education sector as a corporate responsibility to expansion education.

A conceptual study of social entrepreneurshipdeshwal852
Social entrepreneurship is a unique entrepreneurship which is totally driven by the societal problems. Business entrepreneurship focuses on wealth creation and is of interest because of its potential to fuel economic development whereas social entrepreneurship focuses on ‘making the world a better place’ and creating social capital. Social entrepreneurs are driven by an ethical obligation and desire to improve their communities and societies. In this back drop an attempt is made to highlight the importance, ethics and preparation of young social entrepreneurs. All the relevant data was collected
through review of available literature.
This training about social entrepreneurship is aimed at business support organisations, sectoral agencies and public authorities which would like to know how they can be better support social entrepreneurship in their region.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. INTRODUCTION
Our Jesuit colleges and universities around the globe are uniquely
positioned to educate students to confront societal problems and ad-
vance social justice, which is part of the core mission and values of a
Jesuit education. One lens through which a growing number of our
higher education institutions are boosting their community impact is
through social entrepreneurship education and development. Due to
its higher order, more holistic role as an ethical model of entrepre-
neurship that encourages “innovative use of resources to explore and
exploit opportunities that meet a social need in a sustainable man-
ner” (Sud et. al, 2009) and its potential as an effective mechanism
for generating economic, social and environmental value (Brenzei,
2012), programs in social entrepreneurship are being explored and
developed by many colleges and universities, though there is signifi-
cant variation in si e and scope his article describes E ’s ocial
Entrepreneur Systems (SES) Institute, that assists colleges to develop
and deploy social entrepreneurship education to advance social good
and brings a proven model of teaching, learning and application to
accelerate the development, growth and impact of social enterprises,
driven by undergraduates, graduates and supportive faculty.

Our article will provide the reader with an overview of the SES Insti-
tute by briefly reviewing its impact in three main areas, rac ademic
ystem, lace ased Economic evelopment and tart p to cale
egional Ecosystem odel
PART 1: BACKGROUND
The SES Institute has drawn on current research related to social
entrepreneurship education and economic development. Research by
a number of experts has stressed the need to upgrade social entrepre-
neur education by adding so called soft s ills such as collaboration
and systems thin ing to traditional founder s ills t the same time,
there is a growing call to re imagine capitalism by business leaders such as r i-
chael Porter (Harvard Business School), Sir Richard Branson (Founder of the Virgin
Group) policy experts, political leaders and others across the political spectrum.
igure presents some of the terms identified with sta eholder capitalism ,
along with some of the terms applied to hybrid organizations combining revenue
and social value, and emerging forms of finance available to triple bottom line
enterprises. There is also a growing body of research and best practices related to
Place-Based community economic development, such as the “pipeline” approach
to upgrading skills of social entrepreneurs and supporting the growth of social
enterprises in communities.
The need for a fresh approach to economic development was further supported
by the latest research by the c insey lobal ndex and others summari ed under
icro and acro economic challenges
Micro-Level Economic Challenges
•“Among higher education attendees, student loan defaults which
haveacceleratedpast8million+(occurringevery27secondsdaily)
and underemployment and unemployment approaching 50% for the
class of 2013 and beyond.
•“Not-In-Labor Force Citizens 94,610,000 (29% of population)”
•“Business Starts in USA now at a 40 year low”
•“The under 30 yrs. and owning a business now at a 30 year low”
Macro-Level Economic Challenges
•While a small number of high-growth metropolitan areas have
bounced back strongly in the recovery, real median household in-
comes remain below their pre-2000 peaks, in almost two-thirds of
the 3,142 US counties and county equivalents.

4. The SES Institute model aligns with the Case Foundation (Breaking Good10.23.17))and the Economist.
The Case Foundation reported that “America Needs Big Ideas to Heal Our Divides” noting that “Civic
energy is going to have to come from the ground up to strengthen social cohesion, civic participation, and
our ability to solve big challenges together.”
n addition, the Economist’s recent article eft ehind ow to elp laces urt by lobali ation
(10.21.17) elaborates on the importance of place-based economic development and innovation to trans-
form our urban areas and boost our small businesses and commercial corridors that have been declining
over the decades. The article presented suggestions on policies that had either proven their worth or held
out the promise of being more effective than failed approaches of the past. One such recommendation,
older still would be to expand the mission of local colleges, specifically called for higher education
institutions to step forward to thoughtfully become engaged in this development process, thus supporting
entrepreneurs in the process t was noted that the success of land grant universities in merica helped
fuel the agricultural, and manufacturing indus-
tries by providing technical education to young
farmers and engineers. Under the heading,
Welcome to the lace ge the article reported
a social cost of failed policies, “Assuaging the an-
ger of the left behind means reali ing that places
matter too.” The concerted effort by colleges and
universities to support entrepreneurs and social
enterprises in the context of broader communi-
ty development initiatives, helps to enhance the
university’s local economic impact as well as con-
tribute long-term to place-based economic devel-
opment through job creation, trade and increased
rates of diverse business ownership
PART 2: STRUCTURE
PRAC-ADEMIC SYSTEM
he rac ademic system is practitioner focused,
supported with academic rigor, and updates so-
cial entrepreneur education for the challenges of
the dawning global millennial driven economy.
It combines state-of-the-art best practices from
leading figures of social entrepreneurship, prov-
en principles from entrepreneurship, and current
innovative management techniques, such as bal-
anced score card and open book management
and sustainable community frameworks.
Social entrepreneur education to date has been
heavily influenced by material drawn from busi-
ness courses and non profit management he

scaling social impact, developing sustain-

equip social entrepreneurs with additional
skills that include managing a successful

and also include tools for organizing social
change. The 3 components below describe
the key elements of the SES program.

provides us with an important reminder that” big ideas”, “grand strategies” must ultimately be
implemented at the local level if they are to be effective and long-lasting.
How
In order for the SES Goal “moving the world to a better place one campus and one local
economy at a time”, to be realized, stakeholders including social entrepreneurs, college and
community officials, re uire both a framewor for setting sustainable goals and a methodology
for organi ing the wor to meet those goals he tar ommunity ating ystem figure ,
developed by ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, is used by communities around the
world to plan and track their sustainable programs.

What
The SES Institute provides the organizational structure to support the development of the
rac ademic system and the lace ased ustainable ommunity evelopment process

ccelerating social entrepreneurship programs, from start up to scale, with academic
institutions
ertifying , social entrepreneurs who have begun their seven levels of rac ademic
education as ertified eaning a ers s
ctivating and supporting active , social enterprises
he goals of the E nstitute should be considered as an initial arrival point of the nstitute’s
first phase, a foundation of social entrepreneur meaning ma ers generating impact, and
communities serving as examples of the uality of life that can be achieved with the aid of
social enterprises dedicated to producing 4P Impact. The
E nitiative will be scaled up in subse uent phases by
expanding to other colleges around the globe.
Why
The SES Institute provides Colleges and Universities
with a flexible approach to customi ing their prac adem-
ic system and role in Place-based development.
How
igure provides examples as to how college can
scale-up their SES Institute program.
Phase 5 of our model includes developing an SES Eco-
system that is comprised of both Internal and External
ecosystems.
Examples of the internal campus centric ecosystem
could include the E institute’s social entrepreneur
Boot Camp, Executive Education, accredited courses
on social entrepreneurship including cross-disciplinary
courses blending social entrepreneurship courses with
subjects such as English, History, Computer Science,
Sociology and others. In addition, the SES Institute can
assist universities in designing certificate programs, i-
nors, a ors, aster’s, c and h degrees or other
continuing education courses and programs or special
topics in 4P social Entrepreneurship. Additional services
that can be provided, that would be instrumental to de-
liver internally to ensure longevity and long-term suc-
cess include mentoring and coaching as well as facilitat-
ed interaction of student entrepreneurs with community
7. residents and entrepreneurs
through hybrid courses and mi-
cro-internships, which will be
described below.
The external or communi-
ty-centric ecosystem to enhance
to broader university impact
on the surrounding area, could
also include student internships
with local groups designed to
“apprentice with the problem”,
ecosystem mapping of the local/
regional enterprise ecosystem,
utilizing the “pipeline” and oth-
er methodologies to help grow
social enterprises, consulting
and technical assistance provid-
ed to local businesses, courses
supporting the development of
“Intrapreneurs” at local employ-
ers. Finally, an important area to maximize impact through
external partners, there should be cross-sector collaboration
with local sta eholders e g , businesses, elected officials, ’s,
advocacy groups and local community residents on sustainable
development.
PART 3: PROGRESS-TO-DATE
Wheaton ollege of orton is the E nstitute’s first

iana avis pencer oundation aint eter’s niversity and
the E institute will be collaborating on the creation of a new

PART 4: SUMMARY
There is an urgent need to address the growing divisions in
our society and build more inclusive communities, campuses,
and economies t the same time, our higher education institutions are facing growing
challenges in our rapidly changing global economy with constantly evolving technolo-
gies impacting the nature of wor and the whole employment landscape rograms such
as the E nstitute can help to thoughtfully address these challenges as part of a broad-
er development plan and increase social good on three levels. First, colleges increase
the number of social entrepreneurs prepared to tackle societal problems and become
change agents, which is particularly fitting at esuit institutions because it aligns with
core values and mission econdly, colleges can assist community sta eholders to de-
velop place based sustainable economies that enhance residents’ overall uality of life
hirdly, this type of model and approach can, over time, ma e a significant contribution
to developing stakeholder capitalism that balances social value with revenue.
he E nstitute provides a research based, practitioner focused, plan of action to
move the world to a better place one campus and one local economy at a time” through
the combined efforts of social entrepreneurs, social enterprises, and community stake-
holders collaborating to develop, sustainable communities.
parting thought, the E nstitute also provides usiness chools with an opportunity
for growth and renewal by applying “social entrepreneurship in the context of a trans-
formation of capitalism that arvard’s r ichael orter argues is already under way
o orter, tudents educated in social entrepreneurship should be catalysts for this
transformation working with practitioners as mentors, advisers, and consultants, and a
wider change must include rethinking the entire value chain of the business school to
create shared value in its operations and societal impact”.
