Social enterprises have been lauded and promoted as an alternative business model that can deliver social goods in an economically sustainable fashion. Coverage of such alternative business structures into the curriculum was hoped to provide an antidote to the typical focus on instrumental values and to challenge the assumption that the managed corporation is the only desirable form of organisation. The solution chosen therefore was to integrate placements with social enterprises as part of an assessed piece of coursework for a core MSc course on entrepreneurship. This was presented as an optional alternative to the usual set essay, and 23/41 students chose to do the placements and it was roughly an equal mix of males and females.
