ABSTRACT
One of the factors driving increased awareness of social entrepreneurism was the interest of the Schwab Foundation. By making social intrapreneurism a regular theme of their conferences, publications and activities, student organisations such as oikos International and Net Impact could raise awareness of the idea of social intrapreneurism, build networks and potentially create learning collateral that local chapters could use. The world's business schools could include courses on social intrapreneurism in their MBA and specialist Masters programmes, as well in specialist executive leadership programmes. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) might consider identifying and targeting their members/supporters working for multinational companies and encouraging them to explore social intrapreneurial ideas relevant to the work of the NGO. International development agencies have long recognised that it is better to teach a community to fish than to give them fish, and that, therefore, business and broader economic development are fundamental to sustainable development.
