 Dear students, this course is going to be concerned with finding new ways to really analyze and assess and resolve social issues that we face today in the world. We will be concerned with how to view these issues from a systems perspective, new perspective, and to resolve them particularly through development of innovative businesses. The course has a diverse methodology, but mainly we will be discussing issues as a group in the class and issues that we face today. We will work in teams to devise solutions to these issues. I look forward to seeing you and thank you very much.
