class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are currently facing multiple crises, including a global pandemic, social injustice, and the climate crisis. While it is often assumed that the government should handle these issues, government leadership is frequently lacking, shifting the responsibility to the private sector to prevent systemic collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Social Impact MBA, integrated with Questrom\u2019s general MBA program, offers the same core business courses and degree, but with specialized knowledge and skills for the social impact space. You will learn how non-profit and for-profit organizations and investors can grow and sustain their operations while strengthening, rather than undermining, the systems they operate within. This is crucial, as these organizations play a vital role in addressing major societal challenges such as climate change, poverty, inequality, and global health.<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile program-banner__columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-b2e659ba wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:61%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light has-text-track\"><video class=\"wp-block-cover__video-background intrinsic-ignore\" autoplay muted loop playsinline src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/questrom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/PT_SI_v8_2.2025_1.mp4\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"><track src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/questrom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/PT_SI_v8_2.2025.vtt\" kind=\"subtitles\" srclang=\"en\" label=\"English\"><\/video><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#FFF\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-aec23bef wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-play-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#\">Play with\n                    \n                  sound<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:39%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group program-banner__stack is-style-rounded-all-but-top-left has-questrom-red-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1bbac977 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"program-banner__copy has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1d716e7c0337fabaa501602a5ff106c1 wp-block-paragraph\">Our Part-Time Flex Social Impact program lets working professionals take cutting-edge MBA courses while integrating topics that matter to them, like sustainability and diversity.

Specifically, it examines the ways in which governments, corporations and civil society (fail to) have positive impact and manage issues where the pursuit of private goals is deemed inconsistent with the public interest. There are two modules to the course: (1) The first module examines these issues and the tensions that arise between the different stakeholders. In particular, we will discuss different types of market failures (due to negative externalities, imperfect information, public goods, and market control) and their impact on the natural and social environment. (2) The second module explores how (non-profit and for-profit) organizations can take private actions to mitigate the previously identified market failures and respond to the increasing pressure to address environmental and social issues through the adoption of sustainable business practices. This course is ideal for any student interested in social impact such as corporate social responsibility, environmental sustainability, nonprofit &amp; public management, sustainable finance &amp; responsible investment, social entrepreneurship, global health, and clean technology &amp; sustainable energy. It is open to all full-time MBA and PEMBA students, and it is the foundational course for students in the Social Impact MBA program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"semester__subdescription has-p-2-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.6\"><br>Following are some of the Social Impact electives you may choose:<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"collapsible-group course-list wp-block-amp-course-list\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible course\">\n\t\t\t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"ac831-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-controls=\"ac831-content\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"collapsible__icon\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"collapsible__heading\">Sustainability Reporting<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"ac831-content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__content\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"ac831-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__code\">COURSE CODE: ac831<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__description\">The course addresses sustainability reporting.

Societal and business imperatives are not only often considered compatible; they can be increasingly viewed as one and the same. People today often communicate, organize and engage based on mutual interests, and, generally, place  greater trust in organizations and individuals that work for a better world. Marketing has often been referred to as the \u201cscience of sales.\u201d Whether you are selling a product, an intervention or an idea, it can be a powerful tool for advancing social change in today\u2019s dynamic environment. The strategic integration of a relevant social purpose into a product, business or nonprofit organization through brand-building citizenship activities can drive consumer and donor recall, consideration, acquisition, retention and propensity to recommend. However, these efforts do not usually constitute a \u201csilver bullet\u201d and may not be the best solution to a business problem or societal need at all. In the worst cases, ill-conceived citizenship marketing strategies can result in damaging consequences.  Practitioners must be pragmatic when engaging in marketing social change. Understanding how to apply best practice, identify opportunities, address challenges, engage stakeholders and innovate strategically are essential skills in this rapidly evolving sector. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of how marketing principles can be applied to create both short-term and lasting social change. Students will explore dimensions of the modern landscapes of brand, corporate and nonprofit \u201ccitizenship\u201d and how they relate to marketing. Areas of study include: cause-related marketing and cause branding; nonprofit branding and social movements, as well as corporate social responsibility and shared value creation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible course\">\n\t\t\t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"mo830-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-controls=\"mo830-content\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"collapsible__icon\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"collapsible__heading\">Leading Mission Driven Organizations<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"mo830-content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__content\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"mo830-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__code\">COURSE CODE: mo830<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__description\">Mission-driven organizations are created in order to accomplish goals that  extend  beyond profits for stakeholders and owners. Missions vary, ranging  from, among many  others, improving health care, providing meaningful work  opportunities, educating  or protecting youth, safeguarding the planet,  eradicating poverty, building  sustainable organizations, and enabling  spirituality. Such missions occur in the  context of various organizations,  including non-profit and for-profit,  philanthropic and religious, public  and private, governmental and non-governmental.  This course focuses on  leadership theories, frameworks, and practices that take  seriously the  nature of workers, including both professional staff and volunteers,  and  their reasons for choosing to work in such organizations. This course is   designed to build the capacities of students to use specific tools related  to  leadership, conflict, and change that are particularly useful in leading  mission- driven organizations, and enable them to develop particular  insights about specific  mission-driven organizations of interest, related  to their effectiveness and  capacities for change.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible course\">\n\t\t\t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"mo833-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-controls=\"mo833-content\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"collapsible__icon\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"collapsible__heading\">Executive Compensation: Strategy and Practice<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"mo833-content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"collapsible__content\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"mo833-toggle\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"collapsible__body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__code\">COURSE CODE: mo833<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course__description\">This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the structure and governance of executive compensation programs and practices.  The course material will draw upon the theory and research in executive compensation and explore current legislative and shareholder reform initiatives impacting executive pay.  Our approach will be to view executive compensation from a multi-stakeholder perspective taking into account the interests of shareholders, institutional investors, advocacy groups, social activists, governmental regulators, employees, and executives.  We will examine the linkages between executive compensation and business strategy, talent strategy, compliance with securities law, tax regulations, accounting standards, and principles of good corporate governance.  We will also address current topics of gender pay equity, increasing pay inequality, and investor focus on the role of incentives in reinforcing organizational attention to environmental, social and governance issues (ESG).
