Question:
In the light of learning from this module, what future social impact would you like to make?
To answer this you will need to examine what constitutes social impact, and how your own values and perspectives might influence your contribution in the field of social entrepreneurship.
General guidance:
Remember to include perspectives from relevant literature, appropriate examples, and your independent study, with justification for the point of view you are presenting. Ensure accurate use of Harvard referencing. On-line references are acceptable as long as they are from academic and/or reputable sources. The type should be 12 font with 1.5 spacing and all pages should be numbered.
Harvard Referencing
All written work submitted for modules within the Business School require you to use the Harvard referencing system. Correct referencing shows academic and professional skill and protects the writer from accusations of plagiarism. For further details see the Faculty’s Guide to Harvard Referencing on the Learning Network.
Please note that there are many acceptable referencing systems around, including ones pre- installed on proprietary software, however you MUST use the Harvard system that is set out for you in the ‘Faculty Guide to Harvard Referencing’. Any other format will be marked as incorrect.
