Abstract

[EN] Inside the new theories and learning models, we can identify social business as a valuable tool to develop entrepreneurial skills focused on solving social problems effectively and profitably, and also create innovative solutions that generate a positive impact on community. A social business arises with the purpose of solving a social problem using the market system; It is created on a non-profit basis. Even so, the business model is sustainable, guaranteeing its operability. Social businesses combine social and economic objectives, seeking to generate a positive impact on society and the environment. They emerge as an alternative to the traditional way of doing business. The following paper aims to explore the concept of social business, its importance and how a postgraduate degree in social business can be useful for those entrepreneurs looking to develop skills and knowledge within this innovative area.
