Like Harvard and Babson, most leading
business schools have made a commitment
to social entrepreneurship. ���Increasingly,
individuals and organizations are being held
accountable for the social, environmental,
and economic outcomes of their actions,���
Kiser explains. ���At Babson, we develop
leaders with a worldview focused on simultaneously managing social, environmental,
and economic value creation rather than
the traditional sequential model.���
Moon offers an interesting perspective:
���While there is much buzz surrounding
social entrepreneurship today, it has actually been around for a while.��� Indeed, the
first dean of HBS stated that the school���s
purpose was to ���educate leaders who would
make a decent profit, decently.��� Social enterprise and innovation is about reclaiming
that social contract. ���
