Cíle předmětu
The aim of this course (which is an e-learning course taught in English) is to introduce students to some alternative streams of thinking in current economic theory and to new approaches in economic practice, including practical examples of existing social enterprises. Students will be expected to work regularly and individually via the Internet, to read required texts (or view a film), do web-searches, take part in graded discussions and submit graded assesements and quizzes. On completion of the course, students will have deepened their knowledge of contemporary ecological economic thinking and gained practical information about the structures and strategies of eco-social enterprises in Europe and elsewhere. The course is intended for motivated and interested students at MA level who have successfully completed courses ENS106 and/or HEN 445 and want to gain deeper knowledge in this field.
