Students' mastery of this module’s material will be assessed by coursework.
Coursework includes two group-based assessments (oral assessment and presentation) and one individual-based assessment (written assignment).
In teams (up to 5 students), students will develop a social venture concept, which they will pitch to their classmates at the end of the course (3-5 minutes). Teams are asked to complement this deliverable with an annotated slide deck.
The social venture concept should be developed from emerging trends and arguably be the most appropriate opportunity for each team. Teams will be guided throughout the course on what kind of data to collect and analyze to validate their assumptions about the existence of an opportunity to profitably solve a social and/or environment problem.
Individually, you will be expected to submit an essay regarding an emerging business, technology or consumer trend related the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal the class has opted to investigate.
