FAQs

I am interested in social entrepreneurship and would like to do research in this area. Do you provide support for faculty/PhD research?
CASE currently only provides support for Fuqua faculty/PhD research through our Faculty Research Pool.

Do you have any opportunities for research partners or research associates to work with CASE?
CASE currently does not have any capacity for collaborating with others on research or for hiring research associates.

Can you recommend any course materials or cases on social entrepreneurship for MBA classes?
CASE produces a limited number of cases and conceptual notes, which may be downloaded for free from CASE Publications. The two other best resources for social entrepreneurship cases and materials are Harvard Business School Publishing's section on Social Enterprise and Ethics and Stanford Business School's Center for Social Innovation. While more focused on "social impact management" than "social entrepreneurship," Aspen Institute's Initiative for Social Innovation through Business (ISIB) manages a database of cases through CasePlace.org. The Faculty-Teaching section of our website also offers a selection of course descriptions and syllabi related to social entrepreneurship.

Do you know of any organizations that support social entrepreneurship research or outlets for publication on this topic?
While it is difficult to find organizations that support or publish about social entrepreneurship explicitly, the following organizations or initiatives might be worth exploring:
Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Sector Research Fund
The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA)
The National Center on Nonprofit Enterprise
Nonprofit Management and Leadership Journal
The Skoll Foundation
Stanford Social Innovation Review
