The Ethical Entrepreneurship

Overview

There is no doubt that entrepreneurship is a necessary predisposition/ability/nature for everyone globally. In many national and international MBAs, business modeling and networking (often male-centric and heterosexist) have been taught in the name of entrepreneurship education. In this context, the ethical dimension of entrepreneurship has often been regarded as an unworthy consideration or, if it is considered at all, as a supplementary one.
This study group is a departure from this set of attitudes and thinking about entrepreneurship. How can entrepreneurs take responsibility for all the injustices in the world, for gender and sexuality inequality, for the future global environment? This academic perspective on issues we face today, such as feminism, queer studies, and other academic disciplines, ecology, and ethnicity, and how it is possible to recognize the problems of discriminatory or oppressive social structures and then link them to individual practices to transform society, is the subject of this This course will address the research question of how we can recognize the problems of discriminatory and oppressive social structures and link them to individual practices for social change.
