How social innovation in universities will bring on a better business model

Published: 19 September 2017

A recent Huffington Post article talks about how the old credo of 鈥渄oing well by doing good鈥 is becoming more integral to business, and quotes Desautels Professor Nancy Adler that we can no longer 鈥渃reate financially successful companies and an equitable 鈥 sustainable world by simply applying yesterday鈥檚 approaches to business.鈥 The piece goes on to describe how the Ashoka U initiative is bringing these next-gen business concepts to colleges and universities to light the social-innovation fire at the campus level. Instilling these 鈥淐hangemaker skills鈥 at the college level will help to revolutionize business, and maybe even higher education.听
