MGMT 220 - Innovation and Social Change in Emerging Economies: Ghana

This course explores how innovation and entrepreneurial activity impact the pace of economic and social development in emerging economies. We will examine the kinds of entrepreneurial activity that exist today in various emerging economies and explore ways to spur further innovation. We will apply these ideas by working with high school students and adults in the Western Region of Ghana to develop innovative solutions that address needs and challenges in the communities. This course will link academic course work with a service learning immersion experience in Ghana. Course taught during winter semester.
