Social Enterprise, Research and the Curriculum

Description

Social enterprise plays an important role in the globalised economy. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the Indian and UK governments have seen social enterprise as a catalyst for providing positive economic growth in the global economy; both governments perceive social enterprise as a new way of providing long-term economic stability in terms of innovation and jobs growth. Furthermore, over the last ten years, social enterprise has become a forefront concept with significant influence within the higher education sector.

The aim of this presentation is to provide a critical understanding of social enterprise at governmental, higher education and community levels within the geographical examples of India and the UK. The author will present qualitative findings from a social enterprise UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) funded project. A series of focus group meetings and semi structured interviews were undertaken in the summer of 2018, to discuss the benefits of social enterprise at a community level. In this presentation, the author will construct a social enterprise model that intends to benefit academics, students in higher education, policy makers and social entrepreneurs.
