SOCIAL ENTERPRISE 26 CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL SOCIAL ENTERPRISE Social enterprises are businesses conducted in the public interest. Social Enterprise is about working for more than profit. Social entrepreneurs develop services for a social purpose delivering social, cultural, financial and environmental benefits. The organisations that are formed may be as big as Oxfam or Greenpeace or as small as a community craft market. They are driven by social entrepreneurs with an expressed concern for the well-being of individuals and the communities they seek to serve. The boundaries of responsibility for human and environmental wellbeing are ever changing. Our students study the relationships between business, government and community, alongside topics traditionally associated with Not-for-profit/ NGO and community sector studies. Our postgraduate papers are offered on-line to a community of students across New Zealand and overseas. The specific interests of our students can also shape the direction of our programmes. Through our teaching and research, students develop a critical awareness of the contribution social enterprise can have in contemporary societies to enhance the wellbeing of people and planet. ROSIE BENTLEY MMS (First Class Honours), Post Grad Dip MNFPO. “They say study broadens the mind,” says Rosie Bentley. “It’s transformed mine. I’ve been guided, encouraged and challenged to critique my world view rigorously. “The Postgraduate Diploma in Management of Not for Profit Organisations [now named Social Enterprise] helped me understand the wider social context of issues that had occurred in my workplace. After completing this qualification I wanted to learn still more.” A pivotal experience was finding herself in the middle of a G8 summit forum at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Kofi Annan, who was secretary general of the UN at the time, and other high powered international representatives were speaking. “I was inspired to deepen my responsibility for people’s wellbeing.” This led Rosie to a Master's Dissertation exploring influences on workplace well-being. Using action research, Rosie and the staff of an organisation experimented with and implemented some changes that are still valued today. “Research processes can deepen understanding of practical issues facing managers,” says Rosie.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT Strategic Management is about setting the future for business. Strategy is at the top level of executive activity. It involves ‘seeing the big picture’ and finding opportunities and developing sound plans to drive future growth. As a strategic management student, you’ll learn to identify internal capabilities and external opportunities. You’ll learn about entrepreneurship and innovation and develop analytical and thinking skills as you study resources, industry trends, competitors and complementors. This subject considers the “total enterprise” to ensure all resources in an organisation are coordinated and managed effectively.
