Do you have an idea or a rough case draft? Have you written a social impact-related case you currently used in your classroom? Bring it to Sage and we’ll work with you to develop your idea. We also encourage students to work alongside you as case writing enables students to apply theory to real-world situations, and they benefit from co-publication credits.  Suggested topics include: -  Social entrepreneurship, social business and  social enterprise -  Certified B-Corporations -  New legal structures such as B-Corp, L3C, Social Purpose Corporation -  Shared Value & Corporate Social Responsibility -  Bottom of the Pyramid -  Impact investment and funding -  Social innovation -  Scaling & Growth -  Nonprofits’ earned income strategies -  Governance The topics above are merely an illustration. We encourage a broad spectrum of cases on all topics related to social impact from various industries, geographical areas and diverse business subdisciplines. We are also welcoming teaching cases that explore not only successful social impact enterprises, but also those that provide opportunities to learn from failures.
