As many social issues and social problems have emerged in recent years, there is a social need to think from an ethical perspective about how entrepreneurs can confront these issues. In this lecture, we will discuss how entrepreneurs can solve social issues and also look at the problem of entrepreneurs expanding and reproducing social issues.
We will consider how organizations and systems, including corporations, have become complicit in discrete and concrete social issues such as the reproduction of inequality, gender-based discrimination and stigma based on specific sexualities and ethnicities, and the use of non-sustainable natural environments, and how entrepreneurs can be change-oriented and socially engaged in response to these issues.
