| Course Description | Social Value Investing provides a new methodology to more effectively address some of society’s most difficult and intractable challenges. Although many of our world’s problems may seem too great and too complex to solve—inequality, climate change, affordable housing, food insecurity—solutions to these challenges do exist, and will be found through new partnerships bringing together leaders from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. This course presents a five-point management framework for developing and measuring the success of such partnerships. Inspired by value investing—one of history’s most successful investment paradigms—the framework provides tools to maximize collaborative efficiency and positive social impact, so that major public programs can deliver innovative, inclusive, and long-lasting solutions. The course also provides students with practical insights on the ways that public, private, and nonprofit managers and policy advisors are trying to build successful cross-sector collaborations. This course is founded on a mix of management theory, tools for effective public management, and exposure to real-world situations that have challenged conventional management styles. In addition to readings from the textbook, students will prepare for weekly lectures and discussion through reading relevant articles, case studies in PDF format, and links to short video content provided on Canvas. Lectures will combine presentations, case method teaching, discussion, content provided on Canvas, group exercises, and guest speakers. You should come to each lecture prepared to engage in a lively dialogue with prepared questions. |
