MBAs and Social Entrepreneurship

I just read an interesting article in the New York Times about MBA students shifting from investment banking and consulting jobs to social entrepreneurship. Given the current economy, students are looking beyond the "get-rich" positions and seeking positions that will also benefit society. Business schools are developing programs in response to the growing desire to combine personal gain and social benefit. In fact, the Fox School of Business and Management at Temple University is offering a course on Social Entrepreneurship in the Spring 2010 semester. The seminar will explore the central challenges raised by the possibility of managing for more than just profit.
