Blended pedagogy : perspectives on social entrepreneurship teaching and practice

Social entrepreneurs are considered 'change agents' in the social sector, adopting a mission to create and sustain social value (Chell 2007). They recognise and pursue new opportunities to serve that mission and engage in continuous innovation, adaption and learning. Social entrepreneurs act boldly without being limited by available resources and are socially committed innovators (Aggestam 2017). This paper provides insights about adopting a blended pedagogical approach by combining philosophies of social change with business management and organisation studies for a group of MBA students learning about governance, ethics and social entrepreneurship.
