This lecture focuses the dynamics within systems, how to identify and analyze gaps as well as evaluate how change takes place within more complex systems. Students will be introduced to the process of systems mapping and will participate in a class exercise to create and analyze a systems map for a specific social system. Students may apply the lessons from this lecture to the preparation of their major assignment, which will be introduced in this class (due Class 9).
This lecture will be structured workshop-style. Students will work with Engineers without Borders to understand the process of systems mapping. Students will then create and analyze a systems map for a specific social system, which will then be used as the basis for the major group assignment.
This class will cover some of the key considerations social entrepreneurs face when launching and growing their social enterprise. Emphasis will be placed on marketing social enterprises where students will be provided an overview of theories around cause marketing and sustainable marketing. Operational, human and legal considerations are also reviewed which include understanding various legal forms applicable to social businesses. Students will also engage in basic financial analysis for their enterprise to determine the financial feasibility of their proposed solution.
This class consolidates the learning students received throughout the course. Students will build a business case for the ventures they’ve assessed using the techniques described in the course (storyboarding, business modeling, etc.), focusing on making a compelling and informed argument for why the social entrepreneur you’ve been working with should pursue the course of action you’ve determined in your analysis.
This presentation covers the entire aspects of 6 sigma quality methodology. You can have this presentation as a reference to anything related to 6 sigma. This is one of the best material to be refereed before the implementation of 6 sigma in your organization, whether it is in service sector or in manufacturing..

Marlon Dumas of University of Tartu gives an introduction and quick tour of the business process management lifecycle. Seminar given at the Estonian BPM Roundtable, 10 October 2013.
Students will be exposed to methods for screening entrepreneurial ideas and evaluating its “business potential”. Students will be introduced to data collection methodologies and evaluate some of the challenges associated with synthesizing market data and applying this data to business decisions.
This class will focus on the remaining 2 elements of the system intervention process: financial modeling and target setting. Students will be led through the process of understanding how to determine a viable business margin for their venture, and how to set reasonable yet motivating business targets that guide business model execution.
This class will focus on understanding how to design solutions to a gap in a social system and looks at the first two steps in the system intervention process. Students will be led through an interactive Empathy Mapping exercise followed by an introduction to Business Modeling and the components of a business model canvas.
This lecture will be structured workshop-style, in collaboration with Clean Care and Public Inc. Students will be introduced to these two real-life social enterprises and have the opportunity to better understand the social problems these organizations are trying to solve and the challenges they are facing in doing so. This workshop is the first step in analyzing the two beneficiary organizations as part of developing proposed solutions, which make up the final assignment.
This introductory class provides an overview and brief history of social entrepreneurship, and the motivations for wanting to be a social entrepreneur. Students will also be exposed to the basics of social systems in preparation for the class 2 systems mapping exercise.
Students will learn about some of the key management challenges involved in running a social enterprise. Concepts to be covered include goal-setting and target-setting, identifying and measuring key metrics (both financial and social) and leading and inspiring a team. This class will also feature a “live case” with a guest social entrepreneur.
This class focuses on understanding some of the emerging issues and opportunities currently facing the field of social entrepreneurship. The lecture will also provide students with a sense of the career opportunities available to them. This lecture will feature a guest speaker.
Social entrepreneurship generally aims to deliver solutions that can amplify social impact, across individuals, communities, and regions. Scaling social innovation is not always straightforward, and includes a different set of considerations than starting a social enterprise.

This class will focus on understanding how to design solutions to a gap in a social system. Students will understand the differences between market-based and non-market based solutions and the limitations of each, and will learn how best to design an intervention for each type of solution using Human-Centered Design tools.
This lectures focuses on analyzing the gaps that exist within larger systems (e.g. society-wide) and the role each sector in our society (public, private and nonprofit) plays to either reinforce or remove those gaps.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
