Sharing research and enhancing learning on Social Enterprise

Chester Business School lecturers are sharing their research and enhancing learning on how enterprises can provide innovative solutions to social challenges. The School is at the vanguard of highlighting entrepreneurial endeavours that make a difference to society and the environment, including academics across the Department of Management researching varied aspects of social enterprise for their doctoral studies, setting up a Social Enterprise Research Group and the group working on a book about social enterprise learning.

The research is being fed into lectures including Business Management students taking the Managing Sustainable Business Ventures module, recently being tasked with exploring the United Nation’s Strategic

Development Goals (SDGs). From good health and well-being to affordable and clean energy, the 17 SDGs are an urgent call for action by all countries.

Other modules social enterprise is prominent within include at the Business School include the Essentials of Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Thought and Action, and a new postgraduate module, Innovation in Health and Social Care, from January.
